    Microsoft recently added a new mini context menu that opens up when you select text. The company is trying to import as many features from Edge Legacy to Edge Chromium and Mini Menu for text selection is one out of them.

    The mini menu is firmly integrated into the Edge browser which means, there is no flag that can enable or disable this feature. Users can manage this feature through browser settings. The mini context menu show options that can be useful for users while surfing the web.

    In case, you’re already running Edge build 92.0.894.0 and curious to know how the new context menu looks like, what options it has, and how to enable or disable it, then here’s how you can do that:
