Is somebody ever going to fix the issue in the page context menu when some text is selected and it says 'search the web for ...' - small first letter - instead of 'Search the web for ...' - opening capital letter? It's been like that for ages, and elementary punctuation errors are not a good look for a major company.
Other than that, I still cannot use Edge as my browser until all of:
1 The option to turn off Microsoft Edge scrolling personality is made permanent with a switch put into the Options pages, not just an Experiments flag.
2 Edge desktop AND Android can both sync History and Open Tabs, especially with each other.
3 Android Edge has a Force Dark Mode for Web Contents option or ability to use Dark Reader extension.
4 Android Edge has the option for the user to choose which sites are pinned to the NTP in place of the auto-generated top sites.
5 Android Edge gives the ability to search (on site and username) the passwords. But you really should have a Microsoft Android autofill service that the user can use in place of the Google one or Mozilla Lockwise - it's very clumsy, if creating some account in Android Edge, to then sign in with it in some related app, as it would need searching in Android Edge, which isn't possible, then having to go backwards and forwards between Edge and app copying and pasting username and password, unlike if one uses Google Chrome or Firefox and their matching autofill services.

@josh_bodner Can you maybe make the sidebar search float over the webpage instead of pushing content? When the page gets pushed, context goes out of view because the content positions gets shifted around

@DavidGB I agree with sync history. I'm not sure why that is taking so long to implement.
