Forum Discussion
Edge favorites menu
Hey can you guys add the Drop down favorites and hisitory book and downloads reading list menu from the old edge to add it to this one please
- This is great feedback. Are you looking for a way to access your favorites and history withough having to open a new tab?

I miss the old menu-system style favorites.
I might then click alt-F, then O, then the first letter of the folders I set up, drilling down through my folders by clicking the first letter of each, then finally clicking the first letter of the favorite which I have placed there.
Under the new favorite system, I understand that I have keyboard functionality through searching. Under the new favorite system, I would click alt-F, then O, then possibly click Enter, then begin typing into the search. I do not think it as an improvement though. Before, I could put stuff in a hierarchy and might not be required to remember what I named it, because I would dig down through the folders I had set up. Thank you.
Supposedly it is coming.
Cheers,

Hi All,
Thank you all for your feedback on favorites! We understand how personal favorites are and are trying to get the defaults right, while offering the customization that you are asking for. The latest change in this process is the addition of a more vertical favorites button that opens a fly-out. This change is only in Canary right now, but should make its way into this week's Developer channel update. The visibility of the button is controllable, so you can hide it if you don't want it cluttering up your browser's main interface.
We have also heard the feedback around the need to edit favorites offline, or push them out as part of an organizational change. If you can, we would love to know more about how you do this today. Do you use Active Directory to manage your organization, or just manually push out a series of favorites? How many levels would you need, and how would you want to see those level depicted? Would you expect that organizational favorites merge with personal favorites, or displayed in special folders? Would you expect them to be read only, or would a user have the ability to manage (edit, reorder, delete or add to) them?
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, we really appreciate it and use it!

Please revert this change. The new icon is ugly, has poor visability on high res screens and is seen as smaller making it harder to hit on a touch device
I'm sad to see that MS speends time on breaking something that did work instead of fixing what we have been asking for and begging for from the begining. The exact icon and functionallity from Edge Classic - nothing Else
Please get it done. Its a blocking bug
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 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
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.
- Totally agree
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.
yes, make favorites droplist like in classic Edge \ IE11
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.
- The ability to select multiple favorites to perform Drag&Drop on would be nice.
- 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.
Hello
Hi all:
My English is bad. Sorry.
I've been using the new chromium edge for a couple of weeks now. It is still in its infancy but it has a very interesting future.
I have read all the comments about the favorites and I agree with many of them.
Good management of favorites is fundamental. Neither chrome, nor firefox do it well (they make it horrible). I still use IE11 as much as I can for this reason. Neither the current Edge improved the management of IE11 favorites.
For this reason, I consider it fundamental, in order to differentiate itself from Chrome and Firefox, that the new chromium edge itself allows a good management of favorites as did its two predecessors (Edge and IE11).
My support to return a management like that of IE11 (or similar) to the new edge chromium.
Thank you
P.D: I found the extension "Neater Bookmarks". I do not like it but it is the closest thing I have found to what I need.

Hola a todos:
Mi ingles es malo. Lo siento.
Llevo un par de semanas utilizando el nuevo edge chromium. Todavia esta en pañales pero tiene un futuro muy interesante.
He leido todo los comentarios acerca de los favoritos y estoy de acuerdo con muchos de ellos.
Para mi es fundamental una buena gestion de los favoritos. Ni chrome, ni firefox lo hacen bien (lo hacen horrible). Sigo utilizando el IE11 todo lo que puedo por este motivo. Ni el Edge actual mejoro la gestion de favoritos del IE11.
Por ello, considero fundamental, para diferenciarse de Chrome y firefox, que el propio nuevo edge chromium facilite una buena gestion de favoritos como lo hacia sus dos antecesores (Edge e IE11).
Mi apoyo para que vuelva una gestion como la de IE11 (o similar) al nuevo edge chromium.
Gracias
P.D: He encontrado la extension "Neater Bookmarks". No me gusta pero es lo mas parecido que he encontrado a lo que necesito.
- Hi maybe this is the wrong place for it, but how do I remove all my favorite bookmarks in edge dev all at once
