I really miss the SHARE button from Classic Edge
Graham-STMC The sharing button is still available in the chromium Edge. You just have to select it in the ∙∙∙ menu. Hopefully, Microsoft will place it back to the old position where it was in Edge legacy.
Hi,
can you explain more about the difference between Share function in legacy and new Edge?
I got kinda lost when you included "OneDrive" in it.
Also recently the language section was changed which will eventually reach the Stable channel.
the exact text:
"Websites will appear in the first language in the list that they support. To re-order your preferences, offer translations and see Microsoft Edge displayed in a language, select More actions … next to a language."
Could you also please explain how it is confusing exactly to change language for example from English US to English UK?
HotCakeX Thanks for responding. Sharing previously meant one click - of the sharing button - then a tap to open the app I decided to share with (for example Mail, WhatsApp or OneDrive) just as is the case on Edge on Android. Currently this simple feature is missing. Instead it is necessary to save the item I want to share to my OneDrive, then open OneDrive, then click SHARE - or use an alternative app such as Mail and send individual emails. It is so cumbersome.
Regarding languages, why is it even necessary to have to change the language if everything else on Windows 10 is using the UK Language Pack? Classic Edge was working using UK English as part of Windows 10 (as are all other apps on my systems.) I am concerned that non-tech-savvy users will find it extremely confusing when suddenly Edge is showing the word "Favorites" instead of "Favourites" and various other language settings are suddenly wrong after the upgrade.
I would have expected to have to tweak language settings using Dev versions, but was surprised that the supposedly natural migration from classic Edge to stable Chromium Edge did not do this automatically.Graham-STMC The sharing button is still available in the chromium Edge.

- I feel silly now - thank you. Wasn't obvious to me. I hope these observations are picked up before new Edge is automatically migrated with classic.
- You're welcome,
is the item that you want to share on the web or is it a local file, like a PDF file you are viewing on Edge?
I tried with PDF and web pages, tried sharing it with Mail and Skype app, the file and web page were not needed to be uploaded to OneDrive first.
in case of Skype, I chose a contact and the file or web page was uploaded to the chat area.
in case of Mail, the file was attached to the mail and web page link was inserted in the mail body.
