Max Norris Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 When it's finished and feature complete I think it's going to be a very nice option to have, get it out of the "backup browser" category for me. Chrome's been irritating the hell out of me lately and just getting worse (and Google is going out of their way to cheese me off lately), the plethora of Chromium forks just aren't really doing anything for me, and Firefox feels like it's going nowhere (or taking literally forever to get up to speed). At the moment it's not there yet though, but since it's not done.. *shrug* I'll wait and see, not going to judge something that's obviously a work in progress. High hopes though, I sorely want a new browser, would love to kick Chrome and Firefox to the curb, and this has lots of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadwen Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Not sure keep going back to Chrome or Firefox, keep trying to use Edge but after running it a bit it keeps shutting down on it's own after I try opening several links in a new tab or window (no crash error it just vanishes) seems to be doing it since the last few versions (even tried a clean install and it keeps happening).

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted July 2, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted July 2, 2015 Id be using it full time if it had extension support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouettus Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Give it addons support so I can get ublock and pushbullet working and I'll switch! Most sites hang for a second or 2 when they load though... :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.grz Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well, it seems that extensions support for Edge won't come until RTM. http://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-edge-browser-wont-pick-extension-support-until-after-rtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Don't care at all about it. I want the power to BLOCK whatever the flip I want to block. Edge is happy to give all your crap to the Interwebz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 There's a new IE? Could have sworn Microsoft removed IE from Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted July 2, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted July 2, 2015 Id be using it full time if it had extension support. Basically, this. They clearly didn't finish work on Edge in time and had to delay some features to meet the Win10 RTM, so I'll take a wait and see approach, though I had really been looking forward to it.

Eric Veteran Posted July 2, 2015 Veteran Share Posted July 2, 2015 There's a new IE? Could have sworn Microsoft removed IE from Windows 10. It's just deprecated. It doesn't show up in the menus but you can still search for it and pin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ci7 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 It's just deprecated. It doesn't show up in the menus but you can still search for it and pin it. and you can inside edge open with -> IE in the setting menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 It lacks a tablet mode like Modern IE. Once it has that option i'll probably like it a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceelf Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 It's bloody fast, and I like being able to disable Flash relatively quickly (wish it was quicker, but eh! I usually don't mind it being on.) Though calling it 'the new IE' is like calling Chrome 'the new Firefox.' rocksturdy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 i doubt it would ever well. Microsoft are trying to get rid of IE That doesn't mean they can't implement features from Modern IE into Edge. If they are serious about tablets, then need to make the browser more Tablet friendly, just like they did with then Modern IE.

+virtorio MVC Posted July 2, 2015 MVC Share Posted July 2, 2015 The renderer is fine (and probably the fastest), the UI around it feels restrictive and I don't like the way it looks (which is not a specific problem with Edge so much as the general design of Windows 10). Plus, because I can't use it on OS X or on my Windows 7 and 8 machine/VMs, it's worthless for me as I want to use the same browser on all the platforms I use.

Ci7 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 what stop me from using Edge is extenisons ADBlock + lastpass (being lazy these days to renumber that kind of stuffs ) when that is done i would move to Edge in a heartbeat from Firefox That doesn't mean they can't implement features from Modern IE into Edge. If they are serious about tablets, then need to make the browser more Tablet friendly, just like they did with then Modern IE. ah ok, that passed for my mind ;P i am kinda tired LOL. they would surely gonna do that, unless they are out of their mind ...but would be done at later date sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus Maximus Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Other than the lack of extensions, the inability to change the search engine to Google is why I refuse to use it. It seems intentional, too. Edge allows both Twitter and Wikipedia as search engines, but still won't allow you to add Google in any easy or meaningful way. I also noticed that under a fresh install of Windows 8.1 recently, it was nearly impossible to add Google as the default search engine for IE, either.

Lathanielt Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I like it, give it extension support and I think they may have a winner. It is bloody fast as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've got AdGuard installed, so there are no ads displayed in Project Spartan/Microsoft Edge. It's just deprecated. It doesn't show up in the menus but you can still search for it and pin it. Internet Explorer is in the Start Menu under Windows Accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obry Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Not the biggest Chrome fan but I can't live without it's Dev Tools and the fact that I can run it on every OS that I use seals the deal for me. I doubt we'll see Edge on anything but Windows 10 so I doubt I'll be using it much. Even Safari has Windows version. If they release it for OS X, iOS, Android, etc then we can talk again.
