Why isn't Edge your default browser?
>>
>>60216601
It can't into VP8 webums.
>>
>>60216601
Because I selected a different browser to be the default.
>>
>>60216601
Because switching to it would require both a browser and operating system downgrade.

i do use it op but as >>60216742 pointed out its pretty annoying. i have firefox developers edition installed as optional when i don't feel like downloading webm's first to play them.

edge + ublock origin = pretty damn good. it would be perfect if it fully supported webm. its super fast and very resource friendly. uses less cpu and ram compared to firefox at least. ui is very clean cut as well.

1. Not cross-platform.
2. Can't sync across multiple devices because 1. Non-negotiable for at least some of us.
3. Requires such a massive OS downgrade, it makes 8 look like the paragon of holiness. I'm not a huge fan of no-opt botnet built into my system because some fantastic tremendous bigly exec decided it was a great idea despite all the engineers' objections.
4. I categorically despise any company that insists they have complete, total, unilateral right to tell me what to do with software I purchased. License my ass, I bought it, it's mine, I'll break it however I want. And Linux, well that should be obvious.

8K 60FPS youtube videos and barely any CPU usage out of the box.

I was not joking, IE11 is really good, it also was faster than Firefox and even Chrome and pretty lightweight.

I only use it for Youtube uploads now, Firefox runs into problems when I upload for more than 24h on Youtube. It often disconnects after 12h of upload and doesn't continue until you restart.

I didn't give you permission to reply to me. Listen, it was entertaining, first. Hell, it was actually funny.
But now I'm getting the feeling that you actually think that you're on my level. From the day I was born, I was destined for success, you little shit. I was brought into this world by a software engineer and and a prominent actuary, both of Norwegian descent. From the moment that the fucking curtains were raised, I was set to dominate the STEM fields. And because I had guardians that actually cared about me, I flourished. Pretty soon, I was placed into a special school of correspondence, specifically I.M Gelfand's school for gifted children in New England. I not only reached my parents' expectations, but I passed them with flying colors. I had raw talent. I was fucking better. I was surrounded by 6th graders, many from Hong Kong, whom were smarter than half the posters in this fucking thread. And now, where am I?
In MIT, getting my double BS in Electrical Engineering and Physics, with a Stanford-Binet tested IQ of 147 at age 18.
Get this through your head: you are nothing. I am worth more than your entire goddamn family. I'm smarter than you, better looking than you, taller than you, wealthier than you, and more employable than you. While you type out another post to get cheap laughs, I'll be simultaneously working with the brightest minds in the world and fornicating with my beautiful girlfriend. It gets on my nerves when people pretend to be better than me.
Know your place, you fucking vermin. Never, ever reply to my posts, again.

Due to how Edge has superior font and image displaying prowess, it's a no brainer to choose Edge over Chrome

Why else would you want to use the Internet other that to look at stuff?

It makes sense that you'd want the best viewing experience possible
