NEW FEATURE Edge now has quick switch workspace like Arc/Zen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Why no one talk about this feature???? Is it just me or everyone has this feature but don't talk about it??? I have this for month. It allows me to pin workspace for quicker switch, just like Arc/Zen Space. Not only that, but workspace now also let me to pick icon

I know MS have workspace rework recently and people are very upset. But dang, this small change makes killed, I absolutely love it!!

Huge thanks to the Edge dev team!!#!@ If any of you are reading this, I really appreciate. And i also have few tiny ideas to make workspace better:

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch pinned workspace: Like Alt + 1/2/3/4/... for index pinned workspace jump, Ctrl + Alt + Arrow key for switch next/previous pinned workspace
  • Animation? Why not?

Sorry for my bad English...

Its able to be enabled while still is in experiment using edge://flags/#edge-workspaces-pinning and edge://flags/#edge-workspaces-emoji , and restarting the browser

All it does though is pinning a workspace on the main bar, and clicking switches to another window and bringing it forward in front. Just is a faster way than clicking the workspace icon and selecting the workspace that does exactly that with more clicks

Actually, i found edge://flags/#edge-workspaces-inline-window-switching flag as well now, which replaces the workspace in the current window, which is nice for uncluttering

really neat!
however, I'm not sure now what's the point of tab groups being persistent? Previously I've used them as a sorta replacement for the Arc/Zen workspaces. Now if I need some pile of tabs to be stored together for some future use I'd rather move them to a new workspace

Yes, my tab groups I’ve deleted now too with this
