Web Select Option Gone After Recent Edge Update

Anonymous

MS Edge Version: 114.0.1823.37

For some reason, I no longer have the Web Select option in the right-click context menu. I still have Web Capture, but Web Select is no longer there. Did MS remove this feature, or is it a bug?

Funny thing is Web Select is available on my corp device but on Stable version but I don't have it on my personal device when I was on Beta version.

OK, I went to another PC, this one Windows 10 with latest (at time of typing) version of Edge: Version 116.0.1938.69 (Official build) (64-bit).

Web select IS there and seems to be working. So maybe it isn't gone due to intent of the Edge team.

My Hypothesis is that since my other PC is a Corp Managed PC there may be a policy disabling "Web Select" or something similar. I'm sure it isn't to do with Windows 11 vs 10 though. 🤔

Hi, pardon my ignorance, how do I get to Dev channel option? I have the 116.0.1938.69 (Official build) (64-bit) Version, without any access to the Web Select tool. In the "about edge" page, it only gives me the possibility to "Download Updates over metered connections".

Any other browser with the same tool or other ways to work around it in Edge?!

Thanks a lot!
