  I was getting a bit annoyed at Firefox and after recently formatting my PC, I decided to freshen things up. So after the mandatory new PC Edge Google, I must say I’m really enjoying the new UI of Opera.

    Ff has that feature too. It’s if anything more secure than remembering passwords because at least you still need the expiration date and cvc (unless edge saves that too).

  I use Edge whenever something needs to stream on a Windows PC, unlike other Chromium builds it is capable of hardware acceleration and therefor 4k streaming. Whenever you watch 4k on Google Chrome it isn’t really that high quality.

    Its not hardware acceleration, it’s DRM.

      You can add as much context and nuance as you want but at the end of the day the hardware usage is locked behind a door that Edge has the key to and Chrome doesn’t.

    As much as I hate Edge and Chrome, ,my 5.1 surround sound doesn’t work in Firefox. So if I want to watch something in surround on Youtube I have to switch to Edge. Then the nagging starts.

  Honestly have been using edge on my work computer for a while now and see no reason to change. I use Firefox on my personal computer but for now Edge is just fine.

  Microsoft tried to make a browser that had an edge, and they just decided fuck it and gave it the name Edge.
