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?

    Web Capture & web select are now combined, when you select "web capture" you will see another option at the top of your screen to change it to web select.

    Ctrl>shift>x still works to invoke web select. It would be better to have the clickable option in the menu back.

    Hi

    Ctrl>shift>x doesn't work.

    Edge Dev 116.0.1923.0 (64 bits)

    I used the Web Capture to collect data in tables and cells, now is gone.

    If you are going to do this please change the DEFAULT option on the menu to be WEB SELECT instead of Web Capture.

    What gives Edge a competitive advantage over other browsers is the existence of the Web Select feature which other browsers do not have. In fact, I've convinced multiple users to switch to using Edge browser for that feature being on the right-click menu alone.

    I would argue that Web Capture (Area) and Web Capture (Full Page) are completely unnecessary since that functionality already exists in the Snipping Tool built into Windows.

    Please:

    1. Make the item on the right-click menu be "Web Select", not "Web Capture"
    2. Put the "Web Select" option first on the menu, not last, and make it be selected by default.
