Compare the pictures they are not the same. The top is the new format. Different menu too. No vertical layout. 😎

Split from this thread.
Interesting observation: In Dev IB, the Edge Bar has an Auto Hide (collapse). In Win11, the Edge Bar does not have said feature. Big (1st) snip is Dev IB; small (2nd) one is Win11. Same versions of Edge, btw.

2022-08-20T04:31:05+00:00 I don't need to look, again.
One only has that IF they select Search Only Layout.
IF, instead, one selects Vertical Layout they have this 👇, which in Edge Dev & or Canary can be collapsed.
I don't need to catch up eventually. I am, already, caught up 😊
What you are calling "the old Edge Bar" is NOT GONE from Edge GA. Edge Dev & Canary don't have it, at all, not even the Search Only Layout.

2022-08-20T04:28:40+00:00 NB: I had suggested it would come to GA when it went to 105. Obviously, it came sooner than that.
You missed the fact that I had that already on GA last week, with 104.0.1293.54.
Today GA went to .63 and there is no difference from last week. 😎😎
Looks like you are a week behind. 🤣🤣

2022-08-20T04:15:00+00:00 That IS the same as what I have with Edge GA that I thought you were calling "old".
Dev & Canary have the Sidebar, instead, it seems, as they don't have the (Launch) Edge Bar, anywhere.
Good joke, also. As was stated, everything I have is the latest, Edge & Builds.
Thought I had made this all quite clear. I trust it is, now.
Cheers,
DrewLook at the picture again, that is not the original Edge bar on the right side of the desktop. 🤣🤣
Now it opens up this search slot you see on the shot below in the middle of the desktop and the 3 dots open the menu showing on the side.
The old Edge bar is gone.
You will catch up eventually. 😎

2022-08-20T03:33:02+00:00 Edge GA updated today, August 19th. It, now, DOES HAVE the Sidebar! What is interesting, unlike Edge Dev & Canary, GA STILL has the Edge Bar. So, currently, Edge GA has both, while Edge Dev & Canary have just the Sidebar.
NB: I had suggested it would come to GA when it went to 105. Obviously, it came sooner than that.
