When I close the new Edge, there's no warning if I have multiple tabs open.  Has anyone else found a way to enable that?  I get a warning in IE, and there was a warning in the previous Edge.

    It’s helpful, but still doesnt replace a warning when closing multiple tabs. If you’re in the middle of filling out a form, a warning will help, but re-opening the site will not.  MSFT needs to bring back this simple feature.

    Subsequent to my 3 previous posts, I finally found a solution which reopens all previous Tabs including dynamic Web pages and unfinished Forms. I opened a couple of Tabs from Google Search, opened 2 Bank Accounts and did transactions in each and opened USA Form 8840 (it`s a PDF) and started filling it out. I then closed Edgemium. BTW, Form 8840 did give me a warning message but I said close anyway. I reopened Edgemium and Voilà...everything was there as it was previously...Banks Accounts still logged in and the Form ready to be continued. How you set this up is very simple.

    Got to Edgemium Settings, click on On startup and click on Continue where you left off. That`s it. Hope this makes your life happier.

    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.

    You can also just open Edge and hit CTRL+SHIFT+T and it will open everything right back up
