  • File → Close Tab — already in the UI
  • File → New Tab — already in the UI
  • File → Save Frame As — is already in the context menu

  • Edit → Find Again — already in the Find bar
  • Edit → Select All — already in the contextual menu
  • Edit → Delete — has a key ;)
  • File → Send link — put in the URL bar — happy to put this back in the Pages menu, call it Share
  • File → Work offline — no longer necessary, since it now autodetects whether we're online/offline
