How to View the Edge Favorites Bar

The Favorites bar in Microsoft Edge makes your bookmarked web pages more readily accessible. Located below the address field where URLs are displayed and entered, the Edge Favorites bar is hidden by default, so you must first make it visible.

To see the Favorites bar in Edge:

Select the ellipses (...) in the upper-right corner of Microsoft Edge and choose Settings from the drop-down menu.
Select Appearance on the left side of the Settings page.
Set Show favorites bar to Always or Only on new tabs.
To add websites to the Favorite bar, select the star on the right side of the search bar and then choose Manage Favorites.

As you add more sites to the favorites bar, the text can take up a lot of space and look cluttered. If you prefer to see icons rather than text, right-click each website and select Show icon only.
