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?

    If you're missing Web Select PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE upvote the feature request here, if enough people do it might get traction:

    It looks like Microsoft has abandoned Web Select.

    https://windowsreport.com/microsoft-edge-web-select/#:~:text=You%20might%20still%20get%20to%20use%20Web%20Select,clicking%20the%20Copy%20%2B%20Shift%20%2B%20X%20shortcut. Microsoft has a habit of not nurturing something and or giving it time to grow before deciding it is dead. Nearly as bad as Google for killing things before their time.
    I have installed Firefox to see how it goes, I feel like they value the users more. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Very sad day 😭

    The problem is that they made it two steps now: CTRL+Shift+S first:

    Then you have to manually click Web Select:

    This makes no sense to me. We already have built-into-Windows WinKey+Shift+S for Capturing screenshots -- why would they make that be the default in Edge when Web Select was SO MUCH MORE USEFUL!!! and provided a competitive advantage / business reason to use Edge over other browsers. Now they're taking a compelling feature and hiding it / making it harder to use. It makes no sense.

    Note from Forum Owner: Removed hyperlink that's occurred due to current known issue in the community.
