Why would you use Edge over IE? IE can block ads without add-ons.

So can Edge with the exact same mechnism.
It's like you trolls don't even try anymore.
>>51422596
Editing the HOSTS file != Tracking Protection
You're the one who's not trying.
>>51422575
>>51422579
Edge is hyper fast. It puts all other browsers to shame.
>>51422616
So is IE in real usage unless you use a toaster.
>>51422575
I've already switched over to edge because Firefox brings my ULV trinity APU to its knees, edge doesn't.
>>51422575
already using it. fucking fast and smooth.
I don't ever want to touch Chrome/Firefox again. I only lurk YouTube and /g/ so I can make do without uBlock for now.
>>51422579
Why would you even use Edge or IE? I can't believe we actually have anyone on /g/ using edge/IE.
If they make it touch friendly again like modern IE then i'll switch to win10 in a heartbeat.
>>51422632
Why the fuck wouldn't I?
>muh standards compliance
No one truly cares about that, otherwise we would be using strict HTML with few CSS and no JavaScript, AJAX, and all that garbage.
>>51422632
Because they don't tax my system resources, actual smooth scrolling, hyperfast and responsive UI, dark theme and beautiful minimalistic interface.
>>51422619
Edge is faster than IE11 and is more HTML5 compliant. IE11 still has problems displaying some modern webpages. Edge doesn't.
>>51422575
Absolutely yes
>>51422575
I use Edge now because it's fast as hell and has great smooth scroll, fonts, and plays video perfectly. I was using IE11 but Edge is better except for the lack of tracking protection.
>>51422600
wow then why says " IE can block ads without add-ons." you REALLY aren't trying anymore
Edge is the only browser that can actually scroll somewhat smoothly (dell xps 13). Chrome is ungodly bad plus it drains my battery, and the scrolling on firefox isn't much better. Sometimes it gets so annoying I just use the arrow keys to scroll up and down.
>edge
FUCK GOOGLE
>>51422683
Are you fucking retarded? Do you even know what Tracking Protection is, you imbecile?
>>51422698
Exactly. My HP gets 2hr 40min battery with Chrome and now 6hrs 10min with edge at 100% capacity. That is a huge fucking benefit for poorfags like me with 6-cell shit batteries.
>>51422656
>is more HTML5-compliant
This doesn't even matter, I haven't come across any site that I can't use on IE.
And don't come at me with scammy HTML5test, use caniuse.com if you're going to talk about standards support.
As to faster, it really isn't on a fast PC.
>>51422575

Wow, so... edgy :^)

Hit enter
Search for this: mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount
Set it to 50, or try different values

>lol ur protected u dont ned adons!
Block host on Edge
>UR DUM THATS NOT TRACKING PROTECTING
>>51422867
Tracking Protection is an IE feature that Edge doesn't have, you fucking retard.
>>51422575
me
its fucking light weight and super quick, if it had fucking extension addons i would have switched already, again this is an example of how Microsoft just drops the ball with a good product
>>51422625
same, I'd main it if Win10 didn't gimp my startup speeds.
>>51422882
The original post >>51422579 said
>block ads
You obviously aren't autistic, cause an autist would be functional and would know that.
You are just brain dead.
>>51422575
>>51422616
It is really fast.
As is Netscape. You know, because it actually can't do much.
After the embarrassment that was Windows 10 I probably won't be touching anything Microsoft ever again.
>>51422943
Jesus fucking Christ >>51422804
Tracking Protection is the title of IE's BUILT-IN AD BLOCKER.
If you are fucking ignorant, then stop talking bullshit like a retard.
>>51422966
He's probably just trolling
is there any way to get Edge on w8.1 on my atom surface 3?
I like edge for tablet usage but 8.1 is much more stable than 10 in tablet mode
>>51422986
No, use Modern IE as it is a better tablet browser than Edge, much like desktop IE is a better PC browser than Edge.
>>51422966
>Microsoft.com
>By adding a list, you can block content from websites that might have an impact on your privacy.
Because this is so much different than editing hosts.
>>51422933
Latest build fixed that shit. It starts up normally like 8.1 and I have disabled fast restart even to test the time.
>>51422998
But it is. It's far more practical and it gets updates to the list automatically.
>>51422998
Editing hosts is an extremely clunky and ineffective method which requires manually updating the file every time, and only with admin privileges no less.
Tracking protection automatically updates lists to the latest versions and has more security features like being able to detect the scripts that load ads and blocking them before the page even renders.
>>51423008
>>51423031
You can also selectively toggle it per domain from IE.
>>51422954
your loss. version 1511 is really good and I am delighted when I use it due to the slick UI and compositor.

No features: the browser
>>51423057
Firfox has fallen so deep into its own shithole, it is unusable now. I barely touch Chrome nowadays when I need sandbox feature to access sites loaded with adware and shady download links. Besides that for most regular usage, IE11/Edge give far better results and font rendering at 150-200% zoom because my eyesight is quite weak.
>>51423109
IE also has had a sandbox since v7. You can improve it by enabling Enhanced Protected Mode.
IE's sandbox relies on UAC so don't disable it.
I use it, Microsoft killed IE for me by constant crashes in Win 10 and no metro IE version.
I'm just sad, that there are no gestures like it used to be in IE and waiting eagerly for extension support.
>>51422634
How is it not touch friendly?
>>51423169
Go back to Windows 8.1, Windows 10 sucks.
>>51423189
You'd know if you used Modern IE10 on Windows 8 or Modern IE11 on Windows 8.1.
>>51422625
>"Edge"
>Has dark theme
I c what u did ther ,8
>>51423198
I have a Surface RT, but I wouldn't mind using Edge really, unless they've removed the swipe to go forward/back thing.
>>51423198
My battery life is, after the latest update, almost the same as on Win 8.1, but there are already many apps, that do not work on 8.1.
And what works is mostly eagerly abandonware now, so there is no way to return.
Also I forgot, why can't I hide all GUI in Edge as I could in metro IE? I loved the use of the whole screen for displaying the page and simply showing GUI when needed by taping the black bar on the bottom.
>>51423254
Yep, they removed it.
>>51423211
Yes, Windows 10 compositor and Window manager gives beautiful borderless windows with shadow and removes excessive title bars.
Arch fags should be having orgasms due to the amount of darkness and minimalism in 10, but they are still chanting botnet.
Do they have "Save Link As..." yet?
>>51423266
8/8.1/10 are very different operating systems. Metro was only limited to 8.1, now we see aero returning in 10 in a hybrid form to facilitate apps.
try the 1511 build and see for yourself, its worth the free upgrade.

I even got a girlfriend as soon as I switched to Edge™.
>>51423290

>>51423290
"Save target as", yes.
>>51423310
Yes.
>>51423303
People with girlfriends don't browse /g/, they are mostly on /biz/ and /fit/.
I suggest moving to Microsoft® Edge™ right away!
It's blazing fast, and completes the Windows 10™ Experience©
I hate how big the UI is, looks awful on a laptop. Also the back button needs to be right on the left edge.
>>51422728
just as a test, go to the iPhone 6s page on apple.com and try scrolling down. IE11 will crash repeatedly. Works fine in Edge. There's probably lots more examples, but that's once I can reproduce.
I can't even import favorites from Firefox to Edge. I would love to try Edge as it doesn't consume memory as much as Firefox and the scrolling is fantastic.
>>51423666
install Chrome, import bookmarks to it, then import it to Edge.

>>51422575
Fuck yes, It's so much better on my laptop than FF or Chrome because muh fast
Firefox is for Linux.
It works nice and you get to customize just like most things on Linux, but if you are a windows user it's a different world so you want to use Edge which just werks and has nice aesthetics too.

>>51422728
>This doesn't even matter,
actually it's the thing that matters most of all.
A browser is a program designed to display webpages.
How good is it if the one thing it can't do is fucking display fucking webpages properly?
>Who cares if it doesn't work, at least it's fast
ok
I'd rather be spied by just google than ms and google.
>>51422575
I don't like Edge because I can't rice it with CSS scripts like I can firefox.
Also, it's proprietary closed-source software.
>closed-source
can i use it on win7?
>>51422575
nobody "migrates" to edge
people who are aware of the fact you can change the default browser use chrome, freetards use firefox, the rest are ie and edge users from the moment they get their PC.
>>51422575
Using it since 10 has been rolled out. Once I've tried to use Chrompera, but scrolling and font rendering is so much fucked up, that I've balanced back on the Edge.
It is: fast, no bloatware, optimistic future when extension will be available, though I hope it will not become like any other browsers with add-ons - bloated but not usable without them.
>>51425993
>>51426016
But it displays websites properly, you idiots.
Keep it down, Sandeep, the MS shilling is more obnoxious than the smell of your shithole-massaging finger.

>>51422575
Edge is just a continuation of IE. They simply forked the same engine, added some features and changed the user interface. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_browser_rendering_engine
It's just a poor attempt to get away with IE's negative name, which can be mostly attributed to poor security (which security through obscurity actually by definition is) http://www.cvedetails.com/product/9900/Microsoft-Internet-Explorer.html?vendor_id=26
Edge itself also has some nasty insecurities, as could be expected. http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-26/product_id-32367/year-2015/Microsoft-Edge.html
>>51428054
EdgeHTML doesn't have the legacy code that MSHTML has.
And security vulnerabilities being found is a good thing, not a bad thing.
If you enable Enhanced Protected Mode, IE's sandbox becomes a lot more powerful. Microsoft wanted to enable by default but muh-legacyfags forced them not to.
