[Tip] Show or Hide “Send Feedback” Button in Microsoft Edge Toolbar

Microsoft’s new web browser “Microsoft Edge” (Chromium-based) comes in different versions such as Stable, Beta, Developer and Canary. Stable version is released to public for primary use. It doesn’t contain bugs and issues. On the other hand, Beta, Dev and Canary versions are provided for testing purposes. These versions are under development and testing phase and may contain bugs and issues which are fixed regularly in newer builds. When users test these builds, they provide their feedback to Microsoft about issues and suggestions to make the browser stable and user friendly.

To encourage users to provide feedback and suggestions, Microsoft added a “Send Feedback” button to Microsoft Edge toolbar. By default, this Feedback button is shown in Beta, Developer and Canary versions of Microsoft Edge. The Feedback button is not shown in Stable version.

Following screenshot shows the “Send Feedback” button displaying in Microsoft Edge toolbar:
