@Elliot Kirk Looking forward to the "Never" option for Edge's bookmarks bar. I haven't used bookmarks since Yahoo's web index was the best "search engine." ;) For years in Chrome I had one or two bookmarks from times I accidentally clicked the star. Every once in a while I bother to delete them and then ugh, that message about importing favorites comes back! Look, message, it's not lack of knowing about importing favorites that causes me to not have bookmarks!
I'd heard Chrome 75 would also have this option to completely hide the bar. Just in time for Edge. :)

I didn't try the keyboard shortcuts, just used the menu. Selected "Never". It's never returned on any of the available layouts. Try it one more time? @cliff1455

I kept reading further about your issue and found this. Look at the 3rd response from Cameron. Got me thinking about the three development channels available when we began. I chose Canary. Maybe that's the difference? @cliff1455

Cliff,
In Dev you can't, at least, not yet. It is doable in Canary, now. This ⬇ is Canary...
Cheers,
