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.

    I've got 89.0.774.48 and that option isn't there!

    I have the same version as you do and that option is the first one on the list. Perhaps you didn't follow ¡Firedog's instructions? Here's a similar way to do it. Open a new Tab and paste this into the address bar:

    edge://flags/

    Now you'll see Ask Before Closing Multiple Tabs as the FIRST option. Click on the Default box and from the drop down menu click on Enabled. A Restart button will appear at the bottom right. Click on it and Edge will restart and return to where you were. Now go to Settings and click on Appearance where you'll see the NEW option on the right Ask before closing multiple tabs. Enable it and Voilà.

    Hope that helps you.

    Wow! Thanks so much. Worked a treat.

    Thanks so much for leading me via a "dummy's guide". I hadn't realised you needed to use the "default" button
