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?

    OK, I have managed to get "Web Select" working again, by rolling back to a previous version of Microsoft Edge. I have rolled back to version 114 and tested that "Web select" is back, as an option of Web capture. When doing this you need to ensure that the Services that update Edge are disabled so it doesn't immediately update again (it will turn them back on as soon as you install 114 as well). Please proceed at own risk here, using older versions of software will no doubt reduce security etc. So maybe use Chrome / Firefox / Opera as primary browser and use Edge 114 just for "Web select" purposes. I'm not providing support and/or guidance in helping anyone here as I consider this an advanced activity.

    The benefit is not having Google collect your web browsing history.
