IE11 is great

But Edge literally just works and it's really fucking simple

Edge is actually pretty alright.

Only took them a couple decades

It can't render pages meant for blink/webkit based browsers Edge pretends to be for shit, also every other tab can just randomly crash at any momeent. Maybe if this POS ever leaves alpha, it will grab 3-7% market share out of tech illiterates who don't even need their browser to be able to save a page.

because they don't have to

people will consume whatever garbage Microsoft throws at them

just look at all those masochists using Windows 10

If edge is not simple, than I don't know what IE11 is.

>>58851082
It doesn't support even half of nodas HTML5 and it has absolutely no add-on(not even a single adblocker).

>>58852294
of HTML5*
don't know what the fuck went wrong to my this misspell, kek.

>>58852294
HTML5 keeps getting new shit added to it on a daily basis, so nothing really supports all of it, and there has been multiple adblocks for IE, including a roundabout built-in one.

>>58850979
Edge is quite honestly the simplest, lightest, just werks browser out. Don't know why the fuck it's W10-only though. I hope it's only until they deem it worthy of porting that they will because that's just dumb.

Inspect Element just needs to be better.

>>58851020
No it doesn't.

It's not even designed to work.

>>58852346
IE is infamous for always having special considerations being made for it in HTML and CSS. Most people probably hate it more for that than for its merits (or lack of) as a browser.

>>58852680
>trying this hard
Man you Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Opera/FireMemeForkcucks are pathetic.

internet explorer has ALWAYS been a mess vunerable to exploits and malware, it really has no business being installed honestly.

>>58850979
does it play wembs yet?

that's the only reason I havent moved from chrome.

>>58852895
Nope my dude even the default browser fonts are bad.

>>58852969
Doesn't it just use the Arial / Times New Roman crap that every browser uses?

Granted those are horrible screen fonts, but it's not just edge.

Still has the retarded IE zoom functionality.

If you zoom in on one website, it zooms in on ALL websites. No per-site zoom settings like in Firefox, Chrome/Opera. Absolutely pathetic.

Why Windows in 2017?

Internet Explorer is the best browser for Windows.

Who still using Windows deserves this browser

>>58850979
Are you actually using windows in 2017? Why are you on tech board? Seems like you are not even good with computer or anything

>>58850979
Edge is great. I use it as my backup browser when Firefox shits the bed. It's fast and it just werks.

>>58853021
>Doesn't it just use the Arial / Times New Roman crap that every browser uses?
So why does it use "what everybody else uses" just like sheep?
That's always been the way Microsoft has flourished; it's users don't make choices, they just conform.

It's good enough to run Facebook and Youtube on that $300 budget laptop you got from Walmart.

>>58857064
Actually I know how to install Arch

I still think they should have stuck with the name "Internet Explorer". It's the most perfectly named piece of software ever imho.

>>58852698
IE6 sure, but 11 is good at supporting the most used portions of standard HTML. And Tracking protection works as an ad blocker as well

>>58857090
Come back after you've installed gentoo

>>58855938
must be a pile of trash you built then

>>58850979
lol edge is prolly the best browser right now, the fastest, the securest and with extensions.

The name was too damaged. All the pseudofunny IE memes and recommendations made by self claimed IT experts fucked it. What people kind if never got that IE was perfect for business environments and intranets. When you coded something with taking care of it's quirks it would surely run for the next 10 years. Unlike chrome where shit gets a major update every 5 weeks or so.

>>58852668
But but... what about Microsoft <3 Linux??
That's what they announced!

>>58856976
I think you're confusing macs for windows.

I was talking about installing Arch. Why the fuck would you mention apt?

>>58857329
apt or pacman; doesn't make a difference.

>>58857294
yup

>>58852698
>IE is infamous for always having special considerations being made for it in HTML and CSS.

That hasn't been true for 5-6 years now. Today you use more webkit workarounds than IE ones, especially for mobiles.

>>58852895
>does it play wembs yet?

has a plugin, but it is maintained by google, and they purposefully left it broken for anything higher than v2 webms.

You can change it to reset zoom per tab.

I ain't using Edge until it gets a fucking feed reader.

It was one of the things that IE did beautifully good.

You may as well expect them to replace NT with HURD.

>>58852294
>absolutely no add-on(not even a single adblocker)

IE11 supports add-ons, you just don't know where to find the menu to add them. And no ad-blockers? Ghostery works with IE11.

>>58858534
try being told to use some shit python framework for web dev. And github.

>>58850979
Where is WebM support, for fucking sake

>>58850979
Because you literally have down syndrome. Kill yourself. Retard.

I get freezes and lag on Youtube, I can't browse /wsg/. It sucks

I've literally never had a problem with IE. Only reason I use FF is tree style tabs.

its like you dont even want to rice out your machine

>simple fucking browser
Browsers aren't simple, anon.

>>58851533
Edge is a piece of dog slow shit. It renders pages slowly and it takes ages compared to Chrome for going back and forth through history. How MS can foist this shit on people and claim it is competitive with a straight face is beyond me. But I'm sure there will be legions of shills on here to tell me how I'm wrong.
