What went so right? To think this will have add-ons natively soon, everything else is BTFO.

First time using Edge it felt like I was a little wee lad using Netscape for the first time. It just feels so right. It almost seems that on the horizon there finally is a death for the memes that are Chrome and Firefox.
>>
I'm using W10 and I haven't tried Edge even once.
>>
Waiting and waiting for addons.. webm support.. proper website support.. popup windows instead of everything being forced into a new tab.. it's not happening.
>>
>>55405237

Don't forget being forced to Bing instead of anything else.
>>
Anons, please don't use IE or Edge. Or it will be the same shit like with IE6. M$ saw that they have the biggest market share in browsers and then they started to push their proprietary, unstandardized, crappy technologies into the IE.
>>
Stop it shill. Edge can't even connect to lan ips like a server. I wouldn't even call it a Browser.

tfw Edge will dominate the market in your lifetime
tfw most of Edge code is open source and posted on github
tfw Linuxfags are too lazy to port it

These are preview extensions. There's loads more that will only go live after it's out of preview.

No, just the HTML engine is open source, the browser is still proprietary. Try again pajeet.
>>
>>55409704
Correction, just the JavaScript engine is open source. There are two engines for edge: edgeHTML which is a trident fork and proprietary and the JavaScript engine chakra which is a fork of the JScript engine is open source. Why anyone would want chakra is beyond me.

It's not that good. Font rendering is shit and it's slower than FF or Chromium overall. Also, not that many configuration options.

First of all, Chromium is not owned by Google. Second, when I said overall I meant browsing and UI. Edge is better than what IE used to be, but is not better than any of the major browsers right now.
>>
Extensions are a promising start and surely will help getting more users, but until it allows customizing the toolbar/interface, I have no reason to move.
>>
Edge has a shit load of vulnerabilities despite its small market share. It's IE with a new user interface.

so how long until this becomes just as slow as every other fucking browser because browsers literally can't into self control?
>>
Maybe we should have country flag based on IP blocks to see who the fuck is actually pushing Microsoft.
>>
>>55410643
Won't be long.

On my wife's machine, it shits itself when she opens 5 or more Tabs.
>>
>>55404944
Sadly when I click https links it forces edge ot open. Wont let me change default. Well done Microsoft
>>
I like Edge, can't wait for the anniversary update
>>
>can't even use icons only/bookmarks without name
What were they thinking?

Literally the best browser. Once it has addons it will be glorious.

linuxfags probably just don't want it. I use wangblows and edge is trash

I had no idea the existence of vulnerabilities in software was directly related to marketshare anon, please explain more.
>>
>>55404792
I'll try it with add-ons. Greasemonkey and ublock are an absolute requirement.
Oh wait
>win 10 only
Tough luck.
>>
>>55411057
Suuure you do. W/e you say...
>>
I'd use it regularly since it has every other browser beat on performance and battery life for laptops, but I can't sync it to anything on mobile, which is a huge pain in the ass. Sorry, Edge. I hate that every browser except for Chrome & Opera fuck you over on syncing. Safari won't sync properly except to itself, and that's Mac exclusive. Edge is Windows Phone exclusive and acts similarly.
>>
is win 10 worth it or is it really not private
>>
>>55414808
Supposedly Edge was designed more securely than Chrome and be a small target for info sec professionals because of its lower payout than other browsers. But instead, it has a disproportionately high amount of severe vulnerabilities compared to Chrome. It's not the Chrome replacement people hoped for.

What's with all this shilling? It's so painfully obvious
