I noticed in the newer versions of edge collections "Start to collect" - After searching I've found this to be a very bad addition to collections. Collections actually got me away from pocket but with this "Start to collect" I am wanting to go back to pocket.
I submitted feedback but am hoping MSFT is reading these as Edge is a great browser - the collection option is great - especially when my favorites are full/unorganize I use collections for my "focus on" options.

Virtually all the "Start to collect" suggestions on my system are "inappropriate" and have no relation to any of my browsing history. It is not simply annoying, it is offensive (and potentially embarrassing).

I just discovered this addition today. More algorithmic content forced upon me that I can't turn off, cluttering the Edge UI and bloating the browser.

I sent feedback about this issue using Microsoft Edge's built-in feedback platform. I also made a post on Microsoft's Feedback Portal.

What can I say? That "collections" place is MY place. MY contents. I did not ask for it to be aggregated with whatever random trash that shows there every time. I know technically it comes from somewhere else (MSN) but I do not care.
The Collections space was supposed to be MY space to keep MY information. What's next, the Favorites list?
I really hate, despise, contempt (yes, it's a verb too) this new feature. WTH is going on with Edge?
PS: Where did "Add all tabs to Collections" go? Just asking for a friend :|

I am sure this is from Marketing, as it looks like click bait to generate revenue.
It took me awhile to figure out how to turn this off the search box also. At least it was an option.
I am still pissed that they messed up my quick links. The update totally removed them from file explorer, but they now appear as favorites in the new "Files" app.
As more businesses upgrade to Win 11, I bet there will be an option to turn it off.

More worrying is information which was private is now surfaced through

I had assumed that what was shared been my computer and phone via my Microsoft account was encrypted and not used by Microsoft, this is clearly not the case. Edge had been trustworthy. Now it isn't
