Who the fuck would use Edge? Microsoft has perennially put out shit-tier browsers with low compatibility with W3 standards. Neat HTML/CSS feature? It's likely not available, implemented wrongly, or buggy in IE/Edge.

The only reason to use IE/Edge is to download a different browser.
>>
Useless. No ublock support either.

Fastest and lightest
Just use hosts file

>>55469643
It has support. Up to the gorhill to port the addon.
>>
>>55469594
Good, standards-compliant and very fast. No syncing to mobile though, and that's a deal breaker. I'd use it if it had that though.

It had trouble doing the most basic things, I checked the procs in the vm and it was hogging twice as much as chrome without even being full of tabs. Some companies learn from their mistakes and they're honest about their problems. Microsoft is not one of these companies
>>
Slow as shit
No extensions
Performances sucks as after 20 tabs

Botnet chrome is better

However out of all the Web browsers I've used in my life it's the only one that doesn't make me puke after an hour of using it because the ui looks OK
>>
I'm embarrassed to say that it's superior to Firefox speed-wise.

But it will never get extension support so ultimately, it will fail.

At least it's Opera-tier now. kudos microsoft.

nice toaster creds.

Edge is blazing on my i7 @ 16gb ram. You're not using edge like it was meant to be played.

unless it has private browsing as good as firefox (no disk cache except a few exceptions) fuck it

It already has adblock, last pass, and other mainstream shit.

It's fast but far too few settings and addons.

Good browser when it gets extension support it'll probably be the best one on the market

You see anon, from a practical perspective the particularities are of little relevance as long as it gets shit done just fine. Which is more than can be said about Edge.

Edge is proprietary spyware, made by microsoft, therefore it's freedom-denying bullshit that turns it's users into bad parts of the society that woun't share with their neighbors.
Don't use edge, don't use microsoft.

>>55469644
go to your settings then system, then default apps, then changes any related apps to the browser of your choice

Useless browser

Worst fucking browser ever. the old IE11 was better off at least you can use private lists and adblock with webm support.
>>
Dumbed down to an incredible level. Less features than your typical mobile browser. It somehow manages to be worse than IE.
>>
>>55470820
>implying firefox can have one tab open and still work
>>
>>55469594
+ Fast
+ UI feels very responsive.

- UI looks chunky as fuck and was clearly designed for a tablet, not a desktop.
- Font rendering is utterly abysmal compared to Chrome.
- Still no extension or libvpx support as of latest stable build.
>>
>>55471684
is fast because windows preloads it to RAM on boot. That's why it's "fast"."
>>
>>55469687
they do have syncing support but only to W10 Mobile which is a depressing OS
i doubt they will add syncing support to other phones tho
>>
>>55469594
Worst browser I ever used, OP.

That's only for insiders though.

I don't use it because I use a real OS, sorry sempai.

It's persistent. That is, I can't remove it.
>>
>>55469594
Pretty good on phone desu
>>
I don't have one because I have never tried it nor ever will
>>
>>55469594
IMO for the tech illiterate (that doesn't use extensions) it seems like a pretty good browser.

If they want me to make the jump from Chrome to Edge they'll have to add extension support + more.

Maybe they'll make chrome extensions compatible with Edge, that'd probably be enough since I prefer Edge UI.
>>

It requires me to switch operating systems to use it, it's trash.
>>
>>55469594
When extensions finally launch on August 2nd, it'll probably replace Firefox as my secondary "backup" browser.

It failed when they decided to launch it without an ad block support

>>55469594
I am not trusting a proprietary product with my browsing especially not when its vendor has been completely open about spying on its users
>>
>>55478410
The built in DNT seems to work just as well though
>>
>>55469594
Not compatible with any OS I use
>>
>>55469594
What makes it different from IE? Is it one of those anti-trust things like selling Windows without WMP?
