Seriously, though, why is Microsoft unable to make a simple fucking browser?

Seriously, though, why is Microsoft unable to make a simple fucking browser?

works on my machine

>egde
>not simple

that shit can do nothing but browse, does it even have a html editor?

>tries to make industry grade browser
>only compatible with one OS

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.

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

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

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.

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.

No it doesn't.

It's not even designed to work.

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.

>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.

does it play wembs yet?

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

Nope my dude even the default browser fonts are bad.

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.

Sup Forums, please...
Why Windows in 2017?

> build new pc
> complete fresh install of windows no other software installed yet.
>boot up
> open Microsoft edge
> not responding

Internet Explorer is the best browser for Windows.

Who still using Windows deserves this browser

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

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

>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.

>implying they give a shit about macOS or your flavor of autistic linux distro

We're shilling edge now, gupta. 100 rupees deducted

>"I am good with computer"
>only knows how to use a browser

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

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.

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

Come back after you've installed gentoo

must be a pile of trash you built then

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

>"I am good with computer. I even know how to insert a bootable USB stick with an auto-run installer"

>Don't know why the fuck it's W10-only though

uh because it's a MDL2 app?

>2016+1
>using scripts

app support

>b-but u can just use WINE

lol

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.

But but... what about Microsoft

I think you're confusing macs for windows.

>IE11 is great

>thinks apt isn't a script

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

apt or pacman; doesn't make a difference.

yup

>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.

>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.

>I N S T A L L I N G

>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.

You can change it to reset zoom per tab.

>We're shilling edge now, gupta. 100 rupees deducted

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

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

But I prefer it that way

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

yes it does since the anniversary update

I have to test this when I get home. I want to be Edge-y

Three words: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

because they fired their entire QA department in favor of having home users beta test for them

if it will be availble for debian for sure Ill try it

>Microsoft
because POO IN THE LOO

Literally all of my college work that's online has been forced to use this shit. I fucking hate it

sucks with touch tablets

>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.

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

Where is WebM support, for fucking sake

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

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

No, it doesn't. Give me some proof

YOU HAVE TO GO BACK

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

>not using Edge on linux
its like you dont even want to rice out your machine

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

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.

...

>simple
>browser

retarded op

Still waiting for IE11/Edge to adhere to CSS3 standards

It's only been like five years though no hurry

i use ie... and it work for what i'm doing.

>launch IE
>check my e-mail
>see nobody send me a e-mail
>go back to Sup Forums and cry a lot because i realize that my life sucks.

They did it better than firecocks
