I don't think anyone was claiming that it looks any better than another specific browser, but rather that it functions better. In my opinion it's a bit too soon for me to say it does or does not function better or worse at least not with more testing.as far as the appearance, I'm not too hot on it. But I'm a creature of habit, I only really like fire fox

I was also referring to the comments about it using less resources hence my picture showing 500Mb RAM usage with just 2 tabs open, how the hell did we use to browse the web with 1GB/single core machines and before!! my first PC was Pentium 1 133mhz or something along those lines, 2nd was Pentium 2 233mhz, pron was a patient game back in them days, 30 seconds to download a jpeg bit by bit waiting for it to be drawn in segments on the screen :laugh:

Are you saying that You DONT Miss the days of 56k, and your body weight in AOL disc's showing up in the mail monthly? (oh wait, your not from the US.....You guys didnt have AOL then did you) consider yourself lucky.

alucasa · May 3, 2017

In Canada, I still got AOL CDs from time to time, probably not as frequent as you guys in states tho.

I use whatever. I don't care. One thing is for sure, all browsers will be better off once Flash is expunged from the internet. Don't matter what browser I use, eventually it will have one issue or another with Flash.

how does one go about changing the Default search engine for Edge?? i see the option to change it, but it just shows Bing, and the options to remove/change, but i cant get anything to happen, the option are shaded out or something isnt right...

*edit*

it turns out You have to actually navigate to the site for the search engine You want to use... i.e. www.google.com for google, etc. for those who find themselves in a similar situation.

Even better search engine to switch is DuckDuckGo instead of Google.

Seeing as how you're such a big fan of flash, you should try watching HBOgo sometime , see if that improves your view of it

It took me 1hour & 35minutes to watch an hour long commercial free episode of true dtetctive due to crashes, freezing ,& allover jackshittery :shadedshu:

That may be so for you but when COMPARING IT TO FIREFOX it absolutely hands down uses less resources than FF and I have tested the scenario on 3 laptops and 3 desktops and every single time EDGE hands down use less resources, which is the topic by the way

EDIT: some TPUers frantically running FF and EDGE looking at task manager and resource monitor and found "Yes Sir EDGE sure does use less".

EDIT 2: And at work I have configured several Hot running laptops to use EDGE to help from it over heating......no dust...new paste....just some HOT running i7's.

Sorry for staying on topic and saying edge uses more resources, should I just bullshit to go with the crowd, nut sure I understand your point.....

Only system I have with two browsers is my server. It doesn't have Edge because it's Server 2012 R2. Here's IE11 versus Chrome with both browsers pointing to an HDHomeRun tuner page:

Only the expandable processes actually contain the tab I have open. Why is Chrome running so many processors for one tab?

I just verified, opening Chrome opens all those processes.

Edit: Same page, different system, in Edge:

Edge is slightly heavier than IE11 with both consuming less resources than Chrome rendering the exact same page.

People just hate when I'm right. Its ok. I don't open my mouth unless I'm right.

Kicking a man's nuts when he is down is NOT immature. It's making sure that your opponent is down and done for. It's being a perfectionist.....

I think.

I'm guessing the video is GPU accelerated in Edge where it is not in Firefox.

Firefock is beter than chrome in youtobe becouse no droped frames but ther is no vsync

The best thing in Edge, IMO is its scroll

You can open the most complex site on a less powerful computer, and the scroll is still smooth as butter, while in Chrome (and its derivates) and Firefox it's more rough/jumpy/laggy

Are you aware that those "cartoony" and simplistic icons, logos, etc is a trend that affects almost ALL browsers (and apps) and not only Edge

Chrome: Material design
Firefox: Australis and its succesor
Safari: iOS 7+ look

Old day's detailed icons are well gone.

No they don't I'm talking about the tile effect MS are pushing through all their products, unnecessarily large and simple looking, I'm talking about MS specifically and I'm also using Chrome, it's not the same or what I was talking about

What you mean by "tile effect" in Edge

I also have Chrome and I can't see any great difference between both interfaces beyond panels in Edge

First you said that Edge looks like crap because its buttons were "big simplistic cartoony" and I stated they are similar to Chrome's and Firefox's because minimalism has imposed.
After that you said you talked about something different called "tile effect" in Edge and I said their interfaces are similar, which is a FACT
Refused to respond to what you mean by tile effect then you blame my eyes
