Now that the dust has settled can we agree Microsoft Edge is the fastest, lightest web browser? Battery life is much better while using Microsoft Edge.
I've done tests on a 6700HQ and an i5 2520M machine playing a movie on youtube in Edge, Chrome and Firefox and when the video is finished Edge has used 19% battery, Chrome has used 27% while Firefox has used 47% battery life on the 2520M while the 6700HQ Edge has used 15%, Chrome has used 24% and Firefox has used 32%. How is this possible? What's the trickery behind it?
Edge also seems a lot more snappier when browsing heavy webpages, it doesn't choke/stutter when scrolling or opening the pages. Do people only hate Edge because of the IE meme? Is it just kids trying to be edgey and call by ripping on Microsoft products?

It's part of the underlying OS code itself so, not a separate application running on top as Chrome/Firefox/etc is.
Think about it.

This new thing where Edge will run in a Hyper-V VM permanently will actually make a significant dent in the security space.

I'm on Win7 so Edge is a non starter. It seemed fine when I did use it briefly. No point in using since there are no addons (ublock/noscript etc).

There are add-ons for edge

Broken/slow on many websites. They should have waited until Redstone 2 to release it. It's basically still in beta. Good when it works, but still beta. No .webm support on 4chan either.

It's fast but there's no ublock origin and a 4chan extension. And it doesnt sync bookmarks across android devices so i'll keep using chrome
