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

Piss poor performance and web rendering plus shitty handling of web "standards"

t.Windows user

Also there would be no point in posting if you run windows in a vm since linux handles the browsing really well. Just thought I would add that though I really needn't.

pushing for css grid is brilliant
keeping edge updates gated behind os ones isn't

that's the biggest problem with edge right now

devtools are basically the same slow shit from IE11

opening the settings gives me claustrophobia because everything is cramped into a tiny sidebar

Ad nayseum and ublock

the fucking Sup Forums webms dude, the webms

No WebM support. M. Edge shits on bed loading Youtube too

NIIIIIIIIIIIIPMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

meme
and ub is already a thing

Hirogookie a shit. We will never get VP9 support on Sup Forums

DELED DIS!!! DELED DIS NAO!!!

no v8 webm and https

Can't play Sup Forums webms.

>Internet Explorer 2
Hahahahahahahaha. winfags will defend anything.

It doesn't have TreeStyleTabs.
Like honestly that should be the easiest shit for MS implement since they already have all the native controls...

>we will never get better standards
>we will never get bigger sizes
>nipmoot has all the time in the world to implement more malware ads
those bombs weren't enough

only north korea can stop him.

they really don't even need to do much to add them but guess we won't be seeing them added

never thought i'd leave firefox but yeah-

been running edge for a while now

very surprising to me

It cannot change the character encoding. Quite inconvenient when it confuses EUC with ShiftJIS.

>too slow
>took too long to support extensions
>still no WebM support
>UI is too spaced out

>keeping edge updates gated behind os ones isn't
>that's the biggest problem with edge right now
This sums up a lot of it. It only gets updated 2 times a year because of that.

Mindless pajeet.

Because Microsoft edge is only superior to Internet explorer, which is a dumpster fire to begin with. Even chrome and Firefox are superior browsers

Right, while other browsers aren't bound to OS updates they can freely implement things as they desire. You want edge to support some new standard? At earliest you have to wait until next milestone update.
Plus, when they actually decouple Edge from the OS, that effectively means there's no excuse to keeping alternate browsers from the windows store.
It's a win-win and something they should be focusing on immensely but I feel none of that is going to come to fruition until 2019 when market data/OEMs shows people want another windows version or whatever.

I am currently using Edge on Insider preview.
WebM on Sup Forums supported 3 month ago.
No problem so far.
And it eat less CPU than firefox when watching twitch.

...

A few months ago there were talks of Edge being separated from W10 in the upcoming Fall Update.
I wonder if Microsoft is going to follow through with those plans or if they're to wait at least 6 more months.
Either way it needs to happen soon or Edge is going to keep losing relevance.

>he doesn't use dwm

I don't like its looks and feels.

dwb
polite sage for misspelling

all I know is they're updating edgeHTML to ver 16 this coming fall update, so they probably shelved that idea for the time being
shame too because to me it seems these major updates are getting slimmer and slimmer

Wrong

Just look at how scrolling with two fingers works vs chrome, chrome and any other browser in Windows for that matter doesn't have the built in scrolling engine and is laggy shit

How's that webm support coming along? Still never happening?

doesn't work on enterprise LTSB

it needs the windows store to update

do you mean vp8 webms of jerome fucking pregnant white women on /gif/?

Clicking in the address bar moves the text, so you can't put the cursor where you clicked.

So, no webm support? Got it.

I use Chrome and it works just fine, so why would I switch?

...

"because it looks pretty and modern"
That's their only argument. And it doesn't even look all that great

>Piss poor performance
the fuck? was ms lying to me the entire time?

fabricated benchmarks, pajeet

Cause I use IE...
(For work purposes / legacy reasons)

>when IE has more functionality and usability than Edge
This is why Edge will forever be a meme browser.

fuck everyone in this thread
