So I'm not sure what you're referring to, but attached is a screen snip of my tabs bar with 2 Group tabs, one purple and one orange. I don't know how they got created. At one time the purple one was the first tab on the left side, but while moving another tab, it got moved. I can't remove it, move it or open it. It's just there taking up space.
How do I get rid of these?
Also, I'd like to see the arrow at the end of the displayed tabs indicating there are more. I can't get to ones that aren't shown. It's frustrating to have a payment tab, for instance, open at the right side, then have to get some information to fill in from another tab. I can't get to the last tab on the right. There used to be (in old Edge) the arrow, Most helpful. Please bring it back.

Paul,
I'll deal with your 2nd query first. You are referring to individual tab Thumbnails and the :downwards_button: that shows historical ones. The current lack of this has been brought to the Edge C Team's attention. It would be good if you, also, submitted it to Feedback. We are in the early stages & it is one a few things, missing, right now.
Now, those 'group' things. Sounds like I misunderstood... Thought you were saying this had something to do with opening New tab page. Anyway, moving on... Neither do I know what they are or their origin. Have to admit they are not familiar to me. But, that said, I see you have a lot of added stuff to the right of the address bar & some I don't recognize. Maybe, you have added something that has produced these things. If you close the browser completely and re-open, what tabs show?
And, btw, Dev is now 77.0.197.1 Please, update & then, continue our discussion. Thanks.
Cheers,
Drew

Yes, so the lack of being able to see tabs to the right is very frustrating. There can be many more tabs open that I can't see or close or get to.

Paul, I had a wee chuckle reading this, "not occurred on my Asus desktop, only my HP", because, for years I have been a fan of ASUS and not, of HP. Yes, I know those are extensions... it crossed my mind about toolbars, but, no there isn't any of that or those (browser toolbars not, taskbar toolbars). Could it, actually, be an HP thing? Those buttons are unfamiliar to me. But, I'm going to try a visual search, just have to find your snip, again. Well, that didn't help.
I have to remember I have a Bing Insider meeting in a couple of hours.
BTW, if you Rt Clk on those extension icons there is Move to menu instead, of them all showing on the toolbar all the time. The reverse is Move to toolbar when they are in the menu.
Cheers,
Drew

@Drew1903 I did know about putting extensions in the menu. I've done that with some.
I can't imagine that those color "Group" tabs are an HP thing.
Thanks for checking.

You're welcome, Paul. Wish I could say something insightful about those Group buttons. I've never seen them before & can't guess, successfully, at their origin; nor could I find out anything about them. Quite the mystery. Surely, someone (else) can shed some light on this one :crossed_fingers:. You don't have them on Edge, correct? (Just on Dev & Canary)
Cheers,
Drew
