That's good to hear!
about the button be added to the main toolbar at the top i don't think it's a good idea. comparing the old Edge with the new Edge insider toolbar, they are not the same at all.
the old Edge only has 5 items there and it's ok cause it doesn't support extensions (EdgeHTML extensions don't even count). but the new Edge has already too many icons up there.
the menu (3 dots) button, smiley button, fav button, collection button, the profile picture button, the global media controlls button and all other extension icon buttons that users need to add there for faster access. and it's not all, soon there will be more button such as set aside, reading list, Onenote button to take web notes, some other people even want a download button there like firefox has and god knows what else lol. it's gonna get messy so fast if the Edge team don't manage the UI correctly.

This is all so very true. HotCakeX I to do like that idea Tom Ward has for the short-cut keys. Would make Share a super feature all through Windows not just from Edge. And your right, the last thing we want is to be bloated down with all sorts of features/programs loading up each time we start Edge.... I do like the idea of having lots of features, but I don't think they should automatically load just because they come with Edge. It should be a choice whether or not we want to use any of them.
Errrmm, I think I drifted off subject here.. lol
So far Share has worked perfectly for me.....
This is my old Edge toolbar
Takes almost have the total space.

Hi Dennis5mile, I am glad that you are out of the hospital and hopefully feeling better! We just got the Share functionality, and aren't finished with it yet. We hear that there is some desire to be able to pin it to the top of the browser, and also some push against it. We added the Favorites button recently, along with a setting to hide it from the browser, and have it only available from the More (...) menu. Would something like that work for this button? I agree that there should be a hot key combo for sharing, and have shared this feedback with the team. Thank you for continuing to try out our preview channels of the next version of Microsoft Edge browser, and more importantly for offering us your honest feedback. Thanks - Elliot

Thanks for the well wishes, I'm only home because they could do nothing further at the hospital. They have no idea what is causing me to have stroke/seizure like symptoms. Have lots of Dr. follow-ups with Neurologists. I can say it is no picnic when you shake all over, loose your hearing and eyesight, but sure am glad they all return when it is over."We hear that there is some desire to be able to pin it to the top of the browser, and also some push against it."
Personally for me either way is fine as long as this feature is available.. Yes having it pinned to the top makes it faster and easier to get to, but 2 clicks is just as easy as well. I would like to see it added to the right click fly out menu.
You say "along with a setting to hide it from the browser", but I can not find this setting anywhere. I've right clicked all over the browser, have gone through settings and have gone all through the flags twice and find it no where. Not even right clicking the "Share" word in the "..." menu. Is this a given to a group of a select few?
So far the Share feature has worked without flaws while I share through an email, your phone, and OneNote. Love it having this feature back as I used it a lot in old edge.
Thanks Team!

Hi Dennis,
I, too, am glad you are home, but, I am not glad to hear the reason. Ergo, I trust they find the cause very soon. Certainly, then, can correctly treat. Anything, that you might have answers & relief ASAP.
As for the Share button, it should be where it already is in Edge, always at the ready without any extra unnecessary clicks or digging. as you say, easy to see & easy to use.
Wish I actually would have Share (word OR button) & the Favs button... can't find either anywhere! And lord knows I have really looked. Nice some don't have my luck, it seems.
All Best Wishes, mate,
Drew
