Post legitimately good reasons why you don't run Microsoft Edge as your default web browser, Linux-fags/Freetards and macOS faggots needn't apply nor post since you can't run it through wine... I'll wait

>"search" bar in the center of the screen when you open a tab

Absolute cancer. I just want a normal address bar that doesn't move when I click on it and doesn't waste a shitton of screen space.

This is what you're doing on a Friday night? Shilling Microsoft Edge?

Wow.

I don't want to.

No HTTPS Everywhere, no NoScript, no uMatrix, no uBlock Origin.

With all honesty and im trying to be objective here it's not bad at all, but we are creatures of habit l. Just feel so msn-enian...and speaking purely from satisfying side of using it there is something missing. Other then that its ok browser just bit my cup of tea.

Not

does it have addons yet? i need adblock and lastpass and some screencapture and some message addon.

It's a vendor locked closed source browser from NSAland. I rather use one browser on all my devices no matter the OS, so I can have the synced history.

All serious answers will fall into these two categories. IE 11 and IE 12 (I'm not edging microsoft it's fucking 12) are both perfectly useable browsers, and the developer tools work fine enough. The problem is Microsoft was too late to the party and other solid alternatives have popped up. People are creatures of habbit and don't want to change.

I use chrome. I don't use the account syncing but i can see how it could be useful. I mostly stick with it because i know the developer tools inside out and don't want to learn new keybinds

I'm actually using Windows Edge right now. Not bad. I'm going to keep using it and see if I can adjust to it. If not I'll just go back.
>>
>>60492528
>Windows Edge
Lol oops!
>>
>>60492335
This. Also the reason I can't move from Firefox to other browsers.
>>
>>60492001
WebM OP, literally just that.
>>
>>60492335
yes
has adblock, ublock, last pass, etc
not very many yet though
>>
>>60492173
It does have ublock origin actually
>>
No WebM

Does it have IPv6 leaks like Chrome?

How does it even update? Via Windows update or on it's own?
>>
Chrome is the better browser but Edge doesn't drain my battery as much so I've grown accustomed to it. The lack of webm support really sucks though
>>
>no webm
>performs worse than chrome
>trash extension support
I've tried switching multiple times, but edge doesn't stack up quite yet. Also as someone that uses multiple OSes and platforms it's nice to keep everything synced.
>>
>>60492001
I changed Windows OS enough in my life. No reason for me to use a different web browser. No problem ever using Firefox. Plus I use more then just Windows so I use one web browser that Im use to between different OSs.
>>
I use edge all the time. Mostly annoyed I have to open webm's in another browser.

Even IE is a better browser. Do i need any reason?

I have tried to move to Edge before. But it still sucks.

because I'm using windows 7
>>
>>60495883
This, only morons are using Windows 10

>muh new hardware
Skylake is fully supported by 7, Kaby Lake and Ryzen are perfectly functional but you need to dick with Update. Not a big issue, both run fine and stable.

>muh software
Not a single Windows 10 exclusive program exists that was not published by Microsoft as shovelware.

>Muh security
Windows 7 is in long term support for another three years. EternalBlue was patched a month before WannaCry exploited it on unpatched systems.

There is no reason to use Windows 10.

how do i enable html5 player in edge?

you can t play videos on youtube without enabling flash you dipshit, edge does not support it.
>>
Easy. all I need is one reason. called extensions.
>>
>>60492001
Because mobile apps should not be in the desktop
>>
>>60492001
Because it's made by Microsoft.
>>
>>60492001
because win7 > win10
>>
>>60496913
>>
>>60492001
But I do.Only thing that pisses me off is the lack of inline webm support. If they fix that it will have ascended to godhood
>>
>>60494862
Shilling for Opera of all things? Are you for real? Do they pay you in bowls of rice at least?
>>
>>60492173
Fix the UI and add these, and I might give it a go. It's not too bad, otherwise
>>
>>60496033
>m-muh win7
The world has moved on, so should you. You're history like the XP tards.

>muh softwarez run just fine on muh OS of choice
look, if you use dated crap, it's on you, really. But trying to force your stagnant views on everyone because "it worked for me so everyone should be fine with it" is retarded. As for the "shovelware", I actually like the utility apps we got and the overall polish. Must be hard on you

>muh long term support
you're on life support now, that means jack squat and makes this hardly an argument. Enjoy being stuck in 2009

And ironically this makes it better than Google Chrome.

what retard comes up with these names?

>>60492001
CTDs randomly. Addtionally, CTDs everytime I open (and load) exactly 5 pdf documents. Additionally, webpages crashes all the fucking time. Additionally, the control scheme (pure touch-based) is absolute dogshit to work with with mouse and keyboard. Additionally, no addons. Additionally, constant spying. Additionally, insecure as all hell. Additionally, when it CTDs (i.e. all the fucking time), it's not just the one open window that CTDs, it's ALL the windows.

don't like it compared to chrome. Chrome feels much much smoother.

Also,
>new tab
>takes a whole minute before I'm allowed the privilege to interact with the address bar instead of the search bar
>takes that long for the actual tab to appear at the top, otherwise only the content of the tab appears but e.g. it can't be switch to etc.
>fuckall options
>download dialogue is beyond retarded
And on top of all that, internal microsoft services still require internet explorer (//msvacations will just popup an ie window when accessing it in edge, //connect often breaks when browsing in edge instead of ie, etc.)
>>
>>60499624
Sounds like your Windows install is severely broken because edge does not crash for me and is lightening fast in all that you just mentioned.
>>
>>60499648
Nice try shill. The install on a surfacebook was applied by microsoft IT and is domain-joined on redmond.
>>
>>60499680
Sure, still my machines and all my families ones work perfectly fast without any of these lags, all lightening fast.

Perhaps you should seek professional help from a mental health specialist, you know, talk things out with them about whatever issues are going on in your life right now.
>>
>>60499818
We have over 100 machines. All setup by MS. All of them have these issues. It's so bad that the onboarding presenter's edge crashed and all he could say was "(sigh) edge..." loudly. This is also in no way limited to edge, every single one of microsoft's garbageware has this kind of issue.
This is at microsoft. Not at apple and not grandma getting a broken shittop at walmart.
You consistently lie about an issue that is extremely well-known and prevalent. Clearly, the only way this could be the case is if you're paid for it. I'm sure you've received your 0.2 rupees by now pajeet, no need to keep outing yourself with such surety.
