Microsoft's Edge browser, known for its innovative features, is now shedding one of its most applauded functions, Web Select.
Accessed either via the menu or the Control+Shift+X shortcut, Web Select provided an edge over simple screenshot tools.
In an official support document, Microsoft has outlined its decision to retire Web Select, stating the intent to enhance the overall user experience.
This change means Web Select will no longer be available under the Web Capture option or its associated keyboard shortcut.
As pointed out by a Reddit user, many in business environments, who frequently transition tabular data to tools like Excel, found Web Select invaluable.
With its impending removal, Microsoft might need to brainstorm alternatives to fill the void left by Web Select.
