In a recent version of the Edge browser, Microsoft introduced a new feature called sidebar. As the name indicates, a bar appears on the right side of the Edge browser.

The sidebar shows search, discover, shopping, tools, games, Office, Outlook, and e-tree shortcut icons on it by default. However, users can customize the Edge sidebar by adding or removing shortcut icons. For example, you can remove the shopping icon and add the Gmail icon so that you can quickly check your Gmail inbox.
