Web Select Option Gone After Recent Edge Update

Feedback submitted!

OK everyone on this thread. There is a small window for change here. The only way to get this feature back before it is gone for good is for everyone to submit feedback. Put simply:

And just type "Bring Web Select Back, this is the reason I use Edge".

Once you have done this come back here and reply, feedback submitted.

Thank you all for your support 👍👍👍

They are not as bad as Google, but yeah they have their failings on things like this. Hard to please all of us, I guess.

That workaround in the article you linked works great (For now).

I use FF and Edge, I prefer Edge in so many ways... but FF has it's pros.

I was able to re-enable Web Select function based on a tip I found in a YouTube video It says:

"There is a way to restore the Web Select feature to Edge by simply adding a command to the end of the target in the Edge shortcut's properties. Simply add a space and this text afterwards. You will need to be an admin to save your changes.

--enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect

You may have to reboot a couple of times for it to start working so be aware of that."

This worked for me!

Very seriously you sound like a long term google user. And google does that. Microsoft will actually tell you. And Microsoft doesn’t get rid of things people actually use.
