Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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?

So MS decided to axe one of the actually useful, and surprisingly well executed, features of edge but they keep all of the other stuff no one really asked for or the OS supports natively?
We don't need yet another thing nagging us about coupons, I get enough of that from bing search and I see enough ads for consumeristic junk I don't want as it is.
The rounded border they added to the browser recently, all that does it take up screen real estate, real nice when I am working on a small screen or viewing windows side by side. Which, by the way every modern desktop system supports, we didn't need a split screen view baked in to the browser.
I don't know how many websites I have seen where someone just dumps html on the screen, mixes it all up, and calls it good. Web select allowed me to select parts of the page without selecting all kinds of other junk.
Stop trying to win users with flashy gimmicks, those users are easy come easy go, when you do win them over, they won't stay long because some other shiny thing will catch their attention and they will be off chasing that. Build something that is useful and provides value and you will win users that will stay with you.
This was a unique, massively useful, distinguishing feature and one of the only reasons to use Edge over competitors. What exactly does Edge offer over other Chrome based browsers without this type of value-add feature?
I appreciate the PowerShell scripts, but I've even done a full reboot... still no Web Select.
Now it's gone from web capture as well. Microsoft taking away the only feature Edge was good for. Keep up the good work Microsoft, you obviously know exactly what we want.
