    Default Microsoft's New EDGE Browser !!!

    OK like a lot of you here, have been running Win 10 for a good couple of weeks now.

    As many when I first used EDGE it was fucking awful, but I don't know if they have done silent updates to it but now I love it.
    Far, far faster than Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Dragon for me (have them all setup).
    Previously was a die hard Dragon advocate but even though I sort of didn't want to Edge is now secretly my favourite (cos I don't want to admit it)

    Same for anyone else? At first website's were misaligned a lot including Digital Forums, flash was just awful and it seemed weird. Not anymore.


    Only downside is I want to use it as the browser of choice for example in Dreaweaver or other applications but you can't seem to run the .exe for it. Must be some strange app setup.
    You can run it from windows edge tile/link but try make your own shortcut. Doesn't work for whatever reason. Grrrrrr.

    Didn't like edge. So I digged into the tabs to find Internet Explorer. this runs so much quicker also now

    Thanks to Mickey

    Give it another try Mickey. You might be surprised. I really didn't like it on day one and only retried it by accident.


    Edit: I'm not on commission :-)

    I'm still holding off upgrading to 10. Hoping that it will be refined further still before I do.

    Mickey might have a point, maybe all browsers run that bit better. Be interesting to see if anybody else has tried any of the others.

    Thanks to lagigolo

    I'm still using Chrome because I'm used to it. If it's not broke dont fix it. My Chrome extensions are also a necessity now.
    I am impressed with Edge, but only because it was time for Microsoft to finally compete and they have done a very good job.

    Internet Explorer, under any version/speed is shit and always will be in my opinion.

    Interesting Read-

    Edge is only detected as Chrome depending on the User Agent Sniffing technique used by certain websites (They are doing it the lazy way).

    Thanks to DejaVu
