Microsoft offered a look at an evolution of the “favorites” experience in Microsoft Edge. The goal, Microsoft says, is to address some pain points identified by user feedback. Much of the revamp relates to making it easier to accomplish simple tasks, but it’s also meant to replicate some of how favorites worked in Edge Legacy.

In ablog post, Microsoft says it’s looking to address three main pieces of feedback:

The new favorites dropdown will now display in a “classic tree view.” In this view, you can perform tasks like editing, organizing, and searching your favorites without having to open the full favorites page. You can also now add new favorites and folders from the dropdown menu, along with importing and exporting favorites, removing duplicates, “and more,” Microsoft says.

Finally, favorites can also now be pinned to the side of the browser, allowing you to keep them visible while you browse.

Microsoft says that this new favorites experience is available now for Insiders in the Dev and Canary channels. You can start testing the Dev and Canary channel builds by downloading them from theEdge Insider sitenow.
