I understand how frustrating that can be, as I also found it to be a useful feature. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to restore it, and as far as I know, there isn't one. If the sidebar is something you rely on regularly, you may want to consider using a browser that offers a similar feature. Here are a few browsers that include a sidebar comparable to the one Edge had:
