I like Microsoft Edge.

How should I kill myself now?

What do you like about it, out of curiosity? The performance, UI, or something else?

I like Edge a little bit, but what turns me off from it is that it's Windows-only.

Then again, I use Safari on MacOS and it's Mac-only, so...
>>
>>55047716
I don't use Windows while connecting to the Internet. I don't know if it is good or not.

Does it have things like decentraleyes, disconnect, no-script, uBlock origin, https everywhere and privacy badger? Nimbus screenshot? Youtube replay? KeepassX extension? Does it have downloadthemall? Any proxy switcher? How are theming options? Does it send telemetry data while browsing? Firebug alternative? Self destructing cookies? Can I browse without restarting the application for days?

Safari has a windows port but edge doesn't have one for OSX I guess
>>
>>55048054
Correction: Safari USED to have a Windows port.

It's dead and gone, and Safari is by-and-large Mac-only software now.

I see. I remember when I used to use windows, safari was actually pretty good back then.

>>55047716

I wouldnt have a problem with Edge if MS didnt have both it and Internet Explorer on the OS.
MS put 2 or more versions of fucking everything into W10 and it's one of the main reasons I hate it.
>>
>>55049956
I also like their way of hiding the first one in apps that have 2 versions

they literally just hide it

Safari for Windows has always been shit

I've had to show half a dozen coworkers how to go back to using IE instead of this shite because it eats up all their computer resources

Every single time people bitch about the new os. I've been trained through hard experience not to fight against the tide that is botnet. Embrace it my friends the fema camps will be cozy.

>Starting with EdgeHTML 14.14291, the open-source WebM container format and the VP9 video and Opus audio codecs are supported in Microsoft Edge.
>This change will be available in stable releases starting with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

It's not fully implemented yet, but it will be Soon™
Not that I care, seeing as I don't use Windows, but just letting you know.

Edge, without extensions, uses up more memory than Chrome WITH extensions.

It's for legacy support. Tons of companies have websites that ONLY work on ie. If MS just got rid of it, those companies would never update to Win10.
>>
>>55052043
This. Was on a friend's computer, using Edge, and I've seen a few sites that DEMAND I use Internet Explorer, and not Edge.

Honestly, the fact that companies refuse to upgrade their tech, even when it's free, is a little nuts.

cut yourself with the edge of a knife

Why? MS promised so many things and basically abandoned it. If you want a botnet browser use chrome if you want a botnet browser that looks modern use vivaldi.
>>
It's really not bad. Faster than chrome. Always responds. I was skeptical at first. But now. I'm all in.
>>
>>55052215

Edge isn't a botnet though
