This is great feedback. Are you looking for a way to access your favorites and history withough having to open a new tab?Elliot Kirk One of the things that I dislike most about Chrome is the inablilty to open and pin my favorites list to the right-hand side of the browser, just like you can in IE and now Edge. Open your favorites once and it is always at hand. No extra clicks to open a new tab, no extra clicks to open a folder from the favorites bar.
- I would also like to have the pin to the right functionality added please.
Elliot KirkWe definitely need the favorites system from the old Edge with the menu next to the address bar and the really nice larger font/graphics on the pull down menu. The way Chrome handles bookmarks is atrocious and it's one of the top reasons I don't use Chrome. This is a nice way to differentiate yourselves from Chrome, otherwise you are going to have a lot of users ask themselves why bother with the new Edge if they can just use Chrome.
Yes please, can't understand how people live with how Chrome handles bookmarks.
Look at Firefox for example and add something similar. (Added screenshot)
Also please don't add too many buttons to the UI unless we can customize everything like in Firefox. Already tired of the profile and feedback button in the top right corner. Buttons you rarely ever use and they just clutter the interface. Could easily be added to the hamburger menu.
ppoppppe This is similar to the Edge Insider Builds where you have to click on the menu then it opens in a new tab.

I agree. Hate to admit it, but I feel how EdgeHTML handles/displays favorites/bookmarks is far superior. I know it's all a love-hate type of thing. But it's one of my top personal preferences for using IE or EdgeHTML over other browsers.
I totally forgot about it, until I looked at this new version and got completely frustrated. Now this is a GUI type of thing (I think), so I personaly believe that MS should consider sticking with with the same layout as they have done. If person doesn't like how it's done, there are other browsers to choose from (which is a good thing).
Sometimes trying to apease EVERYONE isn't a good thing, sometimes you end up alienating a majority just to placate a vocal minority.
I also agree with this. I've enjoyed the chromium version a lot, but I miss the favorite button from the old Edge that you could just press and then everything was there, now you have to search with the hamburger bar or have a bar at the top that steals screen estate like back in 2000.
This is my one hangup with all browsers except Firefox, and a reason I stay with Firefox. I have the ability to put the Bookmark toolbar items alongside the URL bar. I have one folder called bookmarks that is an easy drop-down. It saves precious vertical space as I do not have to have the bookmark bar.
There are Chrome extensions that mimic this somewhat, but they look and run terribly. Get the ability to do something like this and you'll have 1 permanent Edge user.- Totally agree
Deleted totally agree!
@Elliot Kirk The current Edge handling of Favorites is far better than Chrome's and Edge Dev or Canary (I use both for testing).
I also want "Favorites Bar" to be just one entry ("folder") under Favorites, not to subsume all Favorites. That's ridiculous and frustrating! I mean this is a Borg menu -- "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated -- into the Favorites Bar". I mean, C'mon! :D
Add an option to show the Star on the toolbar for the Favorites menu.
yes, make favorites droplist like in classic Edge \ IE11
- The ability to select multiple favorites to perform Drag&Drop on would be nice.
Hello
- Thank can only be done in a clean manner by maintaining the Favorites folder in the File Explorer. You can drag/drop, change properties, rename either singularly or in bulk, even create new folders on the fly. And all of that is immediately reflected in the browser. IE-11 does that and it's the main reason large corporations are hanging on to that old browser … not for the browser itself but for the efficiency of managing hundreds, even thousands of favorites. When a new employee comes on and gets his computer, or an employee is transferred to a different unit, favorites are preloaded according to his project/department/rank, or whatever category he fits into. Trying to manage all of that through a hidden database instead of a front end folder will keep Microsoft Enterprise customers fuming.
Another request for getting the favorites button back from classic Edge.
It was one of the things that made edge a lit better than chrome on a tablet.
- On a tablet I don't have screen-space to waste so a bar is out of the question
- On a tablet I can't expect to have a keyboard either so no keyboard shortcut can be used
Therefore the "old" button is needed. If the display of the button can be controlled through a setting it would please both the ones that wants and whose that don't like the button.
On a longer term I would like to see all of that toolbar - it makes Edge unique - nót just a Chrome clone.
Deleted Yes we need that. Choosing between "Always / Never / New tab" is certainly not an adequate option. I'd suggest to plop a drop-down button next to the plug-ins icons, in the right top side.
