Hi /g/. I have been using Microsoft Edge as my daily driver since July of 2015. Ask me Anything.

Pros:

1. It's faster than Chrome at both loading pages and starting up.
2. Beats Chrome at JavaScript benchmarks.

Cons:

1. No Extensions.
2. No WEBM's.
(these two will be fixed soon)
3. Less HTML5 compliant than Chrome.

I'm going to hop in the shower. I'll answer your questions when I get back.

What do you do at Microsoft? I'm looking for a job after school and was wondering if you can put in a recommendation for me. Thanks.
>>
I've been using Edge longer than you have, who gives a shit?

You don't have a blue badge so it doesn't matter.
>>
>>53912691
And Edge isn't "less HTML5 compliant than Chrome"

Edge implements every required spec of HTML5 and is beginning to implement every required spec of ECMA6.

The only reason chrome and firefox report higher scores on HTML tester sites is because those sites are biased towards optional features that Google and Mozilla packed into HTML5 for no reason other than to shill their garbage.

Cons
- it kills battery life

At least in my case, the Edge process is almost always at >50% CPU usage for some reason. Have to use Chrome for that reason.
>>
>>53912717
This, also are any of the creative heads over in India thinking about bringing the magic of street shitting, powered by microsoft, to North America anytime soon? You guys have definitely become a huge minority over here, could be a great market.
>>
>>53912691
What's a blue badge?
>>
>It's faster than Chrome at both loading pages and starting up
It would be with no extensions, but who would want a web browser without extensions? Firefox has had extensions for more than decade, they make using the browser a better experience, does Edge even have a working ad blocker?

People who work at Microsoft have blue badges.
I believe there are also green badges for contractors. I'm not sure. Been a few years since the last Microsoft-fag showed up
>>
>>53913407
There was one a few months ago.

No adblock
Not even the TPLs that IE11 had

PLEASE DIE

Sounds great, OP. Where can I download the source and compile a copy?

I'd use this as my daily driver if it can use 4chanx and adblock

I thought the edge is better for battery life compared to chrome for the surface pro

How do you deal with no adblock?
Generally, when you're sucking off smegma from your partner's cock, do you spit or swallow?
>>
>>53912660
Why do you post outside of plebbit?
>>
Can you right click on a web page and select a "back” button? This seemed to be missing at launch and kept me from using the browser. Ain't gonna have time to move mouse to the top nav bar every time I want to go back.
>>
Cons:

1. Closed source botnet
>>
>>53915267
Lol xD
>>
>>53915267
Nice meme but edge and chakra are open source now.
>>
>No Adblock whatsoever
Lol no thanks

Please provide a link to the browser source code.

Edge is just IE that got renamed because of IE's horrible reputation. Too bad they forgot to change the logo too.

While browsing my lap suddenly stopped and started installing win10.

I'm tempted to go back to 8.1 but its shit

Yeah but you have to suck on Microsoft's cock in "Insider" in order to get extensions.
>>

1. Block ads via hosts file

No-one uses Edge, no-one.

Chrome consumes just as much but devides is over multiple processes.

>>53919219
Maybe there's something wrong with my Edge or my W10 install but even when it's on the background it insists on taking over the CPU. Chrome gives me a pretty good battery life.
>>
>>53919242

I'm on the latest insider version and it's blazing fast and light

>>53912660
>3. Less HTML5 compliant than Chrome.

You mean less compliant to webkit specific standards extensions.

>Too bad they forgot to change the logo too.

They kept the logo specifically because of normies who think the E icon = internet.

What they should've done is keep the Spartan codename. Sounded much better. You could even call it Spartan Edge, that way you can keep the E logo and call it Spartan for short.

>>53912660
Won't your wife's boyfriend let you use chrome or firefox?
