Edge or Previous Browser?

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Are you using Edge? Or have you gone back to the previous browser?

I'm giving it a go but a bit of a deal breaker for me is the favourites bar forcing me to see text instead of just icons.

Apart from that, it's not bad but it's only a matter of time before I go back to Chrome with the odd, but highly useful extensions I had installed.

Previous browser. Edge is fine, but I need some extensions.

[Nick H. Supervisor]

While I know that I should give it a try, I've stayed with Chrome and Firefox for now. I don't see a reason to switch over.

[trag3dy]

I'll give Edge an honest try if/when they add extension support for it.

[Dinggus]

Sticking with Chrome. Didn't see a need to start using Edge.

[kozukumi]

Edge needs more work on it before I even consider using it as my main browser. It did a good job downloading Firefox for me though

[TPreston]

Gone back to ie its absolutely useless in enterprise only 10 group policy objects compared to ies 800+

[LimeMaster]

I'm still using my previous browser (Firefox), because of add-ons & customization. Edge in its current state lacks both of these.

I keep finding Edge crashes/freezes on numerous sites.

 

e.g. http://www.mirror.co.uk    It freezes edge after a few seconds on both my desktop(Upgraded from win 7)  and in a clean install on a virtual machine on my mac.

sticking with firefox.  just like i did, since the original release, when it was called Firebird/Phoenix.

i gave all other big name browsers a try for a few days, but i don't see a reason to permanently switch over.

I opened Edge one time and it looks great and all, but I am just to embedded with Chrome.. Not to mention I can open tabs from my iPhone/iPad that had open on any of my PC's with Chrome. 

[Zinomian]

Using Edge right now for everything.  However, I am finding more and more the need for add-ons, specially those that allow me to hide the adds on websites (sorry neo).

Not having these add-ons is causing me to hate not Edge but just the entire internet/websites. I will stick with Edge for a while longer, since I love how well is performing and being useful, etc, but I might go back to firefox.

[MikeM97]

Both.

Edge for my Desktop.

Any other browser for my Laptop.

Previous browser.  As others have mentioned...it is fine but really needs some extension support.  Also missing is the right click on a word and "Search Google for .... "  and  "Go to www.whatever.com" ...drag/drop support?

So I'm sticking with Chrome for a while.

I've been giving it an honest try and it's Okay (if I had to describe it using one word). It works well for the most part but like others have mentioned it does have a tendency to freeze up on certain websites. Also lack of extensions is killing me. I don't care much about the ad blockers but really missing my LastPass and few other dev tools.

That being said I don't see myself keeping it as my primary browser for long unless they release updates soon. I'm 99% sure I'll be going back to Chrome. I doubt we'll ever see Edge on iOS or Android and to me it is important being able to use the same browser across my devices and have my stuff synced. Maybe Microsoft will go batshit crazy and release it for Linux and OS X too but I doubt that will ever happen.

I'll use it for some things. I, like most people seem to be here, am too in love with my extensions on Firefox. But Edge has its place--the markup feature is useful and it is a clean, snappy experience in touch/tablet mode. So, as the internet would say, ¿por qué no los dos?

[gameboy1977]

I noticed that Edge has feature: open with Internet explorer....., so you can compare them. Edge is more faster than old IE, because of flash player. The flash player in IE has big problem is eating memory too much.

[zhangm Supervisor]

I just moved one computer to Win 10, and I'll be using Edge on it until I see any serious bugs.

I did turn off Flash in Edge though. See no real reason to have it.

[spaceelf]

I'm using Edge full time except for specific sites (AT&Ts site is bombing when looking at phones.)

[PGHammer]

Sticking with the tag-team of Waterfox and IE, because of ONE common extension between them - Internet Download Manager.  Normally, Facebook WOULD be a strong candidate for Edge; however, far too many games require Flash and sub-extensions to Flash (and games that require Flash AND a sub-extension perform better with Waterfox - not IE, for the most part).

Sticking with edge for a bit, it's quite good when used with Adguard

[+LogicalApex MVC]

Tried it for about 5 minutes and it crashed at least 4 times. I'll stick to Firefox for the foreseeable future.

[Mandosis]

I am using it as my primary browser now, but only because I have an adblocker that works for it.

[xxxxxx.xxxxxx]

I'm running with Edge for now, its not perfect but I am giving it an honest real life test at the moment before running elsewhere.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I just am too deeply embedded in Chrome and it's syncing capabilities to give anything else serious consideration.
I have surprised myself but just how often I will look something up on my desktop and then have the need to open up that same tab on my phone or tablet.

I would however use Edge and its markup capabilities at work when dealing with a vendors as I am responsible for a lot of online apps and portals we use so instead of taking screenshots and marking them up in SnagIt or Photoshop to be able to draw right on a web page and send that off to someone is a great little feature, however I cannot see my company moving over to 10 for quite some time. We have over 350,000 employees worldwide. Hell, we are still on IE 8.
