enable warning before closing multiple tabs

Why is it that every time MS updates any product, they remove useful and/or popular features. Is MS asking for us to change browsers and or operating system.

Warn on close is now available on Edge Insider Builds! (Behind a flag)

As others have said, Vladimir, this version of Edgemium offers NO warning if you close it while you have multiple Tabs open unlike the previous version. Perhaps the next version will bring back the warning feature.

But not to worry. In the meantime please follow my workaround given above, that is, after accidently closing Edgemium, reopen it which will bring up your default opening page, right click on the first Tab and click on Reopen closed window. This will reopen Edgemium in a new Window with all the previous open Tabs as you had it setup before you accidently closed it.

That's the best we can do for now but at least we don't lose anything.

Hope that's clear now.

This is a helpful workaround, but I note that it fails for some pages which are dynamically created and which won't reopen to their last state.

A "warn me when closing multiple tabs" option seems like a basic needed feature for a tabbed browser.  Unfortunately, the current Chrome lacks this feature, so Edge does too.  It seems we users just don't know what is good for us...

Thanks BukowskiJD for that observation.

For the sake of users who may not know what a dynamic Web page is, here's my definition:

A dynamic web page contains information that changes depending on the user, the time of day, the time zone, the user's selected language, the user's preferences and can display different content each time it's viewed according to user interaction.

Based on that, I opened several dynamic pages such as Google Search and requested a topic such as Dynamic Web Pages, The Weather Network where I asked for hourly temperatures and in French, eBay Search for a specific product and logged into two Banks. I closed Edgemium and reopened it with the option to Reopen closed window. All Tabs reopened, however the info from the two Banks was no longer there, just the possibility to login again, no doubt a security feature.

So definitely a WARNING popup is needed with the option to enable or disable it as the user wishes. Perhaps Microsoft programmers never mistakenly close Edgemium with multiples Tabs open but for us mere mortals, it's a MUST to have a safety net. How much code does it take? I'm sure I could write it on a paper napkin while sitting in a restaurant having coffee! C'mon Microsoft, how hard can it be?

Wow, great idea, thanks HugoHatchee! I never thought of that! That's good advice! I hope they restore the close all tabs warning eventually.
