Microsoft Edge: Activate favorites bar - how it works

In Microsoft Edge, as in previous Internet Explorer, you can activate the favorites bar. In this article, we will tell you how to do this and how to import the bookmarks of other browsers into the new bar.

Activate favorites bar in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge replaces Internet Explorer in Windows 10. Although the design is based on the minimalist style of the new system, you can still bring back the well-known favorites bar:

1. To do this, start Microsoft Edge and click on the icon with the three dots at the top right.
2. Then select the "Settings" entry.
3. Activate the "Show favorites bar" option here.
4. Now you can drag individual bookmarks into the favorites bar and save them there. Alternatively, click on "Import favorites from another browser" in the settings to copy the bookmarks of other browsers into Microsoft Edge.

You can change the start page in Microsoft Edge so that you don't need the favorites bar when you start it.
