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?

    Remove the Edge & Edge Beta Shortcuts in Desktop, Unpin from Start and Taskbar.

    Now search edge / edge beta in all apps -> Then right click on edge as mentioned in below screenshot -> pin to taskbar
