I do. It's the best browser on any platform.
I do.
Hands down the best browser on any platform. Hell it's a reason to switch to Windows.
It's that good.
>>53720109
I thought it was decent until I actually did start using it. Reason being is that I was still setting things up on a new machine and hadn't got round to getting a good browser
It can't even handle 4chinz properly, there was a point where I had it take 7GB of RAM because I dared to download something using it and the only thing it really has going for it is that it's dark theme looks nice on W10
It's literally just IE in all but name.
Normies
I started it a few times by accident, it would never do anything, blank gray window every time
>>53720250
BULLSHIT!!!
I only have 4GB RAM and I've never had a problem doing anything on it. I'm also using addons.

>It's literally just IE in all but name.
This is how you know someone is lying. It's literally 100% new coded from scratch using the best standards.

I wish I hadn't deleted the screenshot I took, I even meant to make a witty remark about it here on /g/ but thought screw it.
I've no reason to lie about it ffs, it's memers like you who made me think it was potentially decent in the first place

It's actually worse than IE 11 in every possible way.
>>53720154
Nigger detected. Stop stealing my replies.
>>53720700
It's only worse than IE11 because they screwed up the UI even more and removed all extensions support (in favour of the new one which is... still not ready).
>>53720308
wrong, all they did was remove all the backwards compatibility crap that hogged it down.
I watch porn on that
>>53720308
Yes.
>>53720700
Yes.
They fucked up.
I use it. Adblock via hosts file.
It's ok. Decently fast. Doesn't support webm though. And I've had some strange crashes.

Who gets the 0.03 cents for shilling in situations like these?
>>53720958
Seriously what is up with the blatant shilling here? First I just dismissed it as shitposting and it wasn't really surprising given that's just the nature of things here
But these guys just don't let up, literally every semi related W10 thread there'll be people popping up talking about how it's great and talking some sort of shit.
Is everyone just in on the meme or something?
>>53720109
New Edge browser is the best. Even beats Chrome for me. I honestly don't know how I went on with my computing without Windows 10.
Once an Adblocker and 4chanX are ported, I will.
Chrome may have the newest features, but who cares? You won't see them in the next three decades anyway.
Its performance is atrocious.
It's decent, I've had considerable problems out of chrome lately, but if it had the apps chrome did I'd use it, I'm sure that's dumb as fuck but chrome has been pissing me off

I use it for my bing rewards bot accounts
it's pretty fast and snappy like chrome
but I use firefox 99% of the time because of my add-ons and junk already here
>>53721163
>Chrome may have the newest features
Chrome invents new features, and W3C has to shoehorn them in because Chrome has grand majority on the market. But by the time they standardize a given feature, everyone already built sites on the -by then outdated- original chrome implementation.
The end result being that writing sites for mobiles (which use various random Webkit versions) becomes a gigantic headache.
It's my default porn browser because I don't have flash installed
>>53721237
Yeah... while Google is quite good at identifying things the web lacks, they implement half-assed hack solutions without asking the other vendors for opinions (or even ignoring their disapproval).
I'm really excited for web components and it's obvious that google has lead the way, yet everything about the first release of the spec that the browser vendors settled on is different from the current chrome implementation (which is what the webcomponents polyfill and polymer depend on).
Why don't they just wait? It's not urgent. IE and the old Android browser are going to hold the web back for years to come. They might say "But if we implement those features today, the browsers of today will not hold back the web of the future", yet they will because those specs ALWAYS change. It's more than just minor name changes.

Fastest browser I've used recently, Chrome isn't even close to being optimized in comparision. Plays 4K vids flawless while Chrome seems to struggle as an example. Let's not even talk about Firefox, even though it's what I use daily (but that's only because of addons and ricing).
webm's wouldnt play so back to firefox

Low pixel density is the only situation where good font rendering matters. Past 300ppi, hinting isn't even necessary and nobody would notice what kind of anti aliasing you're using
>>53723099
IMO Chrome has worse font rendering on Windows. Those blurry fonts dawg

Confirmed for never used Edge
When will it be ported to other platforms like Linux?
So what about that black scrollbar? I'll start using this fucker the second they will add it.
I would use it if it supported webm. I just want a browser that browses the web and does nothing it does not need to. A web browser does not need to be an entire fucking OS.
>>53723729
Soon....

>>53721163
I am also just waiting for adblock release for edge before making it my primary browser.
>>53720109
It's ridiculously fast, running circles around chrome. With a beefy hosts file, it's been a perfect noob browser that I would happily recommend my parents or tech illiterates in general.
Haven't actually had a look at the extensions that suitably have been added yet, I don't use it all that often.
It's the best touch browser due to the superior scrolling and zooming.
>>53722624
I love Microsoft, how can I get paid to use the internet, other than Bing Rewards?
>>53720109
I do. It's light, it's fast and it's pretty bare bones. It does what it needs to and nothing more, which is a plus for my five year old ULV AMD APU.

Why would you delete a screenshot? Images take up such a minute amount of storage that it would be pointless to delete them.

It is my personal opinion that windows 10 is the best windows so far. That being said, for every generation there will be those who say those exact words and there will be people who say the opposite. There were people who loved vista and there were people who hated windows 7.

>Chrome invents new features, and W3C has to shoehorn them in because Chrome has grand majority on the market.
Welcome to the second coming of IE6. I told you, I fucking told you. Opera could have helped save us but instead they're making it worse by being a part of the World Wide Webkit.
The ui is horrible. The top takes up 1/5 of a 1080p screen.
>>53721237
Fun fact: w3c requires 2 individual and independent open source implementations for any new standardized feature. That's why websql failed, since none wanted to rewrite sqlite from scratch just to meet standards.
Think about that when you remember that Google has been funding Mozilla Firefox for what feels like decades and that Firefox has traditionally been in a hurry to adopt features that chrome brought to the table
>>53724269
It's good for smaller machines or touchscreen devices, such as Microsoft's Surface. I have Chrome on a small 1080p screen and the address bar is just too small really. .
Still far, far better off using Chrome than Edge though.
>>53720644
>>53720109
once plugins arrive, i will. especially adblock plus
>>53724269
>The top takes up 1/5 of a 1080p screen.
No it doesn't. It's only slightly larger than firefox on both 1366x768 and 1920x1080. We're talking maybe ten or so pixels. The rest of the layout is virtually identical. You're just making shit up at this point.
>>53724643
I use it on my SP3. Works great!
>>53720109
Lightweight and good for touch screen
>>53720109
It's the best for Twitch, no need for flash shit and the player will automatically adjust quality so no more buffering.
>>53721018
It's obviously a retard trying to force a meme.
>>53720109
I do, I use it on my Dell touchscreen. Fucking perfect. The only downside is I can't make calls over Facebook because it isn't supported yet but the Facebook UWP App fixes that.

It works well on low end hardware unlike Chrome/Firefox but its lack of extension support kills it
