    I am trying to highlight/annotate when I open a website in the new Edge and it is no longer allowed. Sorry I had posted on a comment that was dealing with a PDF instead of a website. Any thoughts on this?

    This is very unfortunate, can you bring the tools back?

    Hi, anyone experiencing the same problem? 

    Now the highlighter is back while reading PDF on Ms Edge. However, when I am using my surface pen to highlight as usual, the highlighting function didn't move with my surface pen s motion... I can just click to highlight one word or use mouse to highlight smoothly.. 

    And it seems that the eraser got some issue too

    Me too have the same problem.

    Miss the old edge...

    Yup, aids how they ruin the only good feature the browser has. Now we have to wait months for them to add old content >.>
