How are you guys finding Microsoft Edge after the Creators Update?
Sunday, April 9, 2017 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: Personal Computing
I'm liking it..........a lot. Quicker and more responsive than Chrome. Ublock Origin does a great job too knocking out all the pesky pop-ups. Seriously considering making it my default browser and getting rid of Chrome.

Well I got the Creator's Update and I still don't like Edge. It just seems to be missing something and feels a bit incomplete for mine, so no, I'll be sticking with Firefox for now. I also use Opera on occasion, and I don't mind it, either. It's lightweight and snappy enough for my liking, so I really have no need for another browser at this time.
Perhaps Edge will get some improvements for me to consider further down the track, but it does not appeal to me as is.

Kinda reminds me of that joke....
Waiter at the restaurant asks..."How did you find your steak, sir?"
Diner's reply...."I moved two peas and there it was."

Then there was the guy who asked the waiter to bring a doggy bag for his steak.
"A doggy bag, eh! You must have enjoyed it to take the rest home"
"No, but I do have a pair of shoes at home with holes in their soles."

I used to only use chrome. However after the new creater tools and reading some articles on the internet, I now use edge a lot. It's really felxible and really practical. Check out this article I read which compares the different browsers: https://www.1and1.com/digitalguide/hosting/technical-matters/the-best-browsers-for-windows-and-mac/. Ofcourse, chrome is a good one, however in some aspects edge does outperform. Overall I think I use chrome and edge 50/50 in terms of how I split my time between them.

Edge has no setting for a minimum font size to be displayed on all web pages. Deal breaker for me. My eyes are not as sharp as they used to be.

There is a zoom control that you can use............and the opticians is just around the corner.

Yeah but you have to zoom each page. Chrome has a minimum font setting that makes all fonts on any webpage that size. So does Firefox.

After reading this thread, I decided to give Edge a second look. It seems ok, but as far as I can tell it's not noticeably faster than Chrome, and once I imported bookmarks, getting them to the bar at the top was a hassle.
It's not a bad browser, but I see no compelling reason to switch.

I wouldn't mind trying it out if CFX would work with it but...it don't.

Just discovered the CFX issue appears with the older cursors (apparently). For example, ms edge won't work with Lightsaber Pro (have to do the temporary deactivation) but will work with Nemesis FX.
This is the only exception I've found from the cursors I have, so far.

No problems using Edge. Mostly replacing Chrome now.
Yep, same here ID. Way snappier than Chrome.
