I just switched to Brave -- I'm not kidding. Right after I read your post, I switched.
I switched for two reasons.
1) Brave still has [x] on each tab so you can quickly close a browser tab (firefox has removed that).
2) Brave still has arrows on scrollbar. FireFox just removed that.
See this snapshot for those features in Brave.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 desktop. Also, Brave has a sync feature (allows to share history and bookmarks across devices) so I'm happy with that too.
I'm now running it on my MOtorola G7 also.

I'm running FireFox now and there's an x on each tab to close it - I just update to 89.0.1 but it was there prior to that.
One thing I didn't like in the most recent update is the new-tab "button" is hidden until you put the cursor on it - I'm almost used to not accidentally closing tabs (with that x you don't see).
As for scroll bars? I went to a vendor site and there were, top and bottom of scroll bar, arrows !
Suggestion - wash your screens.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I made a shortcut which opens about:blank . Done.
|
|
|
|
|
What is the command string line to paste into the shortcut?
|
|
|
|
|
I have:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" "about:blank"
|

Thanks. Unfortunately, Edge hates me and it doesn't work as it should for me.
I created a shortcut on my desktop and used that for the link. When I double-clicked it, Edge opened up. All the old tabs were there, and the 'about::blank' page also got added to the tabs. Then Edge opened me up to a bare google search page! It figures you will always want to search for something when you first open it, but that's not what I want! I haven't been able to find a place to disable that 'feature.'

Oh, well I tend not to use that sorry excuse for a browser, but I have to for a few things at work.
Check Settings \ On startup .
|
|
|
|
|
I don't use it much either. For reasons like this not being on the Settings \ On startup page. (not rolling my eyes at you, but at Edge... )
|

There is a setting "edge://settings/onStartup" (my version is 91.0.864.54) and after setting it to "Continue where you left off" it seems to work ... . Perhaps this will solve the issue ...
|
|

|

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that setting should do exactly what I want. But that's what's been set for the last however long. It always opens to a Google tab instead of whatever I last viewed, although the last used tabs are there.

Indeed, it looks so easy, I am astonished that someone made it that simple. Diving deeper here is not my cup of tea , I must admit ... except a typical thought that it needs some sort of reset/restore/reinstall ... BR

cd %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\8*\Installer
setup --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level

Thanks. The installer path has changed, but I worked that out. After playing with it, I finally figured out the problem - it was an extension the entire time! At least I figured it out, but I still feel a tad foolish for posting!

I used to wonder how Darth Vader ate with that mask on – then I realised: he was Force fed.

I'm sure you feel Lukey to have finally Leiad this issue to rest, but I didn't find it all that thought Ewoking.

He eats light but saber-y meals but it's a difficult jabba with that mask on.

I just downloaded the 2022 preview of Visual Studio and noticed it installed in the Program Files folder, not the Program Files (x86) folder like all earlier versions. So this must be the first native 64 bit version of VS. Nice! What took you so long MS?
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Pfft... based on the sloppy QA done of Visual Studio these days, I bet it's only 63 bit!

Until you realise the bit you are missing is the one bit you actually used to use all the time.

Only the kids'd need it anyway. Back in me Dad's day, they just had zeros and the power switch.
