Say hello to the new Favorite Sidebar feature in the Edge browser
Microsoft Edge Version 87.0.654.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) (This could be a controlled feature rollout meaning only available to a subset of insiders) this is the new view you get ...
lindhartsen I recently was in a location with internet speeds of about 3 Mbps instead of my usual higher speed (>200Mbps) location. The new favorites menus took 4 to 5 seconds to load instead of the sub-second time I have been used to. When I returned to my high-speed location, the menu returned to fast display.
I also find the need to click on a sub-menu instead of maintaining the hover/flyout behavior to be less smooth for my ways of working.
ms4132 After seeing this comment I was curious and tried right clicking in this new view and sure enough it's a miniature webpage. I guess that could explain the performance penalty
Just got the feature in today's Canary build. It is impressive, but it opens a miniature webpage has some unwanted attributes like delay and white flash initially, as explained by lindhartsen. I hope the team can improve on this and it will be perfect!
