Managing browser extensions in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
I don't believe that I can highlight text on the page and save the whole page for context. And if not, not useful.

is there any schedule on returning "add note" function to the new Edge browser? This function was the core and unique feature of the original Edge, absent from all other competitors. It worked perfectly on my Surface Pro 4. The lack of it in the new Edge makes it ordinary and indifferent, just like Nokia/Blackberry switching to Android system.
Please make this function return again very soon. otherwise, the market share of Edge will deplete even further.

2020-06-19T16:08:07+00:00 OMG! We're not yet on the new Edge and I quite literally just today found the Edge "Add Note" function!!!!! I was SO excited and now am super bummed that the same functionality that I just found is not in the new version. Has anyone submitted this yet as feedback through Edge Settings > Send feedback?

2020-06-17T04:03:20+00:00 Hello,
I would have to AGREE with all of the other users. I am really wondering why the removal of this feature happened. I wonder if the development group actually pull from the right focus groups during the development. Making something more useful in today's society does not mean going backwards and making things harder to do than they were before. That's not the intent of what technology should do. Please bring back this very simple notes function. It was very useful when sending noted webpages without all the extra steps. Why did you remove this? I was starting to use edge more due to features such as this. For this I'll just go back to using chrome all the time. It bugs me when decisions like this are made. Stuff like this happened when Windows 8 came out removing the start menu.....How did that go? And then removing the ability to change in registry when it was officially released. So then you had to download a third party tool to bring back the ease of use. Learn from the past before adding or removing features. Did you have to put the start menu back in Windows 10? If so, why. Oh yeah your customers complained and stomped their feet. I don't think this is a good thing. If you add cool features, then you get good feedback. If you remove cool tools, you get the opposite. Sorry for being blunt. But sometimes it's needed.
