Funky shortcuts bar appeared on phone

[anon(9246304)]

Idk where this came from but it was driving me crazy bringing up a "shortcuts" bar along the right side of my screen and taking me to different sites when I was swiping my phone to move the page up....

I ended up going though my installed apps, deleted a few not using any more or didn't remember installing that wern't crucial to phone. The bar is gone now... will attach a screenshot.

That looks like an Edge panel?

Any idea what this was. It appeared on my phone today and I have no idea how to get it back or what the swipe I did was for it to appear
