I opened edge today and sidebar was gone. It was a crucial part of my day-to-day and I really want to know how to reinstate it . The sidebar icon is there but there is no response when clicking.

enter image description here

Microsoft Edge | Tabs, address bar, and search | Windows 10

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, the sidebar was removed starting with version 149. See this article for further details.

    I know how useful it was since I used it a lot myself. Right now, there isn't any workaround to bring it back. I've tried quite a few apps and extensions to find something similar, but I haven't come across anything that really matches the experience. The closest alternative I've found so far is the Vivaldi browser, which includes a sidebar feature that's fairly similar to Edge's. That said, I encourage you to upvote this feedback below. The more support it receives, the better the chances that the team will take notice and consider bringing the feature back in a future update.
