Question

When the Edge Sidebar App (App tower) will be back?

Dear MS since you decided to retire the app tower to force us to use copilot only, our daily work became more tricky.
The great ability to keep a website pinned to the sidebar was a major reason to prefer Edge over other browsers.

PLEASE consider to give us back this!

Hi,

Unfortunately, once a feature has been retired, it's very unlikely to return unless there is significant demand for it. I understand how frustrating that is, as I used this feature quite a bit myself.

For now, though, I was able to restore it using the method shown in the video below. It simply involves adding a command-line parameter to your Microsoft Edge shortcut and then restarting the browser or your computer, so it's safe to try.

Just keep in mind that this is only a temporary workaround. Future Edge updates will likely stop supporting this parameter, but at least it lets you continue using the feature for a little while longer.
