Has Microsoft got any closer toward making a decent web browser with Edge or are they still far off?
>>
I personally like it.
>>
Without adblock, no
>>
>>51733094
This

But also

This

>>51733121
Who really cares? Sometimes ads can be comforting and keep a person with anxiety disorder in the present.
>>
Why does it feel like Microsoft copied almost everything Apple did with their OS X?

> Windows 10
> OS X (said "ten" not "x")
>>
The rendering/javascript seems to be on par with others.
But the UI, stability and extensibility are shit.
>>
>>51733288
What is wrong with the user interface?
>>
>>51733288
Funny to hear you say that. stability and the UI are a big plus to me. The only reason I´m not using Edge because of the lack of plugins.

>>51733181
Because page filling ads are more common than ever. Everytime I use a browser with no adblock i feel like gouging my eyes out with a spoon.
>>
>>51733316
Last time I tried Edge (when Win 10 came out) it crashed at least once a day.
>>
>>51733181

what the fuck am i reading
>>
>>51733302
Bit big innit
Buttons don't touch the edges
>>
I used it for a good week after release.
>crashed a lot
>no addblock
>very poor link description placement
It needs some time I guess.
>>
>>51733345
Did you need help understanding?

Advertisements are a great way for a person suffering from anxiety disorders to remain in the present because they focus on a product that is relevant to the here and now.
>>
>>51733084
It lacks a lot of options/features. I mean just looking at the 'Settings' is enough to see that there are like 5 options total. Addons would make it more usable though,
>>
>>51733329
There are releases every other week (fast channel)
>>
>>51733084
>non-free
>almost no configuration

yeah, no
>>
It's way worse than fucking IE (!). The truly amazing fact is some people like it.
>>
>>51733249
Top quality meme friend! This is quite funny seeing as OS X had copied shit loads from Windows
>>
>>51733084
>Chrome: RAM stealing botnet
>Firefox: RAM leaking and slow as fuck
>Other Browsers: lel, no.
I don't really have another choice tbqh. I like how smooth it is for now, the lack of options isn't really a problem for me and they're releasing an update soon that allows for Extensions to be created.

I'm definitely joining the ride for Edge.
>>
Simple minds, simple needs, simple browsers.

Ignorance is bliss.
>>
>>51733084
fuck off

i tried and this is better
>>
Still waiting for extension.
>>
>>51733084
I just want extensions (and cross platform would be huge for me, but ain't happening )

Btw, its now mostly OSS
>>
>>51733938
Likewise, Windows copied a ton from Mac OS Classic
>>
It's really fast and really featureless.
>>
It's not bad but I'm never going to use it
>>
>>51733121
copy paste into host file

Still crashes often, doesn't handle transparency (unless you like having seizures), has issues displaying most pages, etc.

UI is complete garbage, can't middle/ctrl click back button, can't view back button history, auto-complete for URLs is broken, etc.

Absolutely no reason to be using Edge right now.
