Favorite Bars in Workspaces changed since this morning
Hi everyone!
Since yesterday, all my Workspaces had their own favorite bars. When I reopened Edge this morning, I was shocked at first, because I thought my favorites had all disappeared. But it turns out they are now hidden under a folder on the left of the Favorites Bar, making it annoying and cumbersome to access them and the rest of the Favorites bar is now shared among Workspaces.
I don't know if I accidentally changed an option but I couldn't find a way to revert it back to how it was.
I also couldn't find any information on this being a new feature that was introduced yesterday. If it is, I really don't like it because I don't want to see my work related tabs when I am in my free time workspace and clicking an extra folder each time I want to access a workspace is really cumbersome.
Has anyone else noticed this change? I really hope it is an option. 😅
nullbon I sent this feedback to Microsoft. If you feel like I do, copy it and send via the feedback function in Edge.
Hi Microsoft Team,
With the latest Edge update, the functionality of "workspaces" has unfortunately taken a step back for me. One of the primary benefits I valued in workspaces was the ability to keep a separate set of favorites on the favorites bar for each workspace. This separation was essential for organizing my workflow effectively.
In the current version, all workspace favorites are now accessible only by clicking a button, and I can no longer keep only those specific favorites displayed in the favorites bar. Having this level of control was crucial to my productivity, and I miss the simplicity of this setup.
Please consider reintroducing the ability to assign distinct favorites to the favorites bar for each workspace, as it was before. This feature was invaluable for my use of Edge, and I’m hoping it can make a return.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Let me know if you’d like to add or change anything to make it fit your experience even better!
- I don't like it. The main reason I use workspaces is to keep them totally separate from the default setup. I only want what's relevant to be visible in the browser.
I'm also witnessing the same change. This is a stupid move by Microsoft. Now the purpose of having a certain workspace is no longer served— why one had a need for a workspace? Because he/she wanted to keep their different work profile segregated from each other nullbon
I feared that's the case 😕 I wish they would introduce it as an option instead of disrupting our workflows without prior warning.
It may sound fussy, but with this change Edge went from the perfect Browser that suits my workstyle perfectly to slightly better than Vivaldi.
- I'm glad I'm not the only one, it's amazing how one small update ruined edge for me
- Headscratcher
- This update ruin my experienced. One of the main reasons I use MS Edge because I can separate bookmark of each workspace. I don't see any benefit from this change. What the head of product of this company thinking...?
