[Solved] Edge favourites bar takes up too much space

I'm trying to be positive and use Edge more, but the Favourites bar is really bad.

I have 15 favourites, and they all fit on Chrome, but on Edge, even after shorten the titles 2 of them "drop off" into the drop-down menu.

I've seen this has been asked in the past, but not recently, so in any of the Edge updates have they added a way to decrease the font, or the wasted space, on the Favourites Bar?

Or do I need to use the "Send Feedback" (which will get ignored)?

Edge 117.0.2045.31

Microsoft Edge | Favorites, history, and downloads | Windows 11

    Solved it myself, via a post about a similar issue of not enough space.

    The latest update turned the "Touch Mode" to "Auto", which is unhelpful as I'm on a laptop.

    Turning it to "Off" solved the issue.

    Hi, I am an Independent Advisor.

    I'm glad to know you were able to solve the issue with your Edge browser's Favorites bar by adjusting the "Touch Mode" setting by turning it off. It's always good to find a solution that works for you. It will be helpful for others who will encounter the same issue in the future. Thanks again.

    Thanks for posting the fix!
    This annoying change was causing me more anger and anxiety than it should have.

    Cheers
