Microsoft Edge

When Microsoft released Windows 10, they did a desperate attempt to save some of their browser market by introducing the world to "Microsoft Edge". Their new generation browser that would serve as an replacement for "Internet Explorer". It has had a.... Rough start to say the least. It suffered from many issues, but the one that I think it was wrongly accused for is the; "it is just the new IE, lawl" idea. Microsoft Edge is not a bad browser, and since it's launch, it has gained a great deal of support, in the form of extensions and new features that few browsers can match to this very date. Now I am not talking about subjective things such as design (despite the fact that I personally adore Edge's design), no I am more referring to things that Edge just does better.

Throughout my testing of different browsers the past 2-3 months, I have notice one thing that Edge seems to do better. Stability. The thing runs like butter from start to finish, even at heavy use it barely slows down. Compared to Opera, Chrome or Firefox whom all suffer from slow-down after a week of use, I'd say that is pretty remarkable. (Considering the fact that I don't run any other extensions on either browser, they all just run uOrigin.) In terms of what Edge can be used for, then it is a lot. It is a share center, a PDF reader that is unchallenged and several other things. It's bookmark management shits on most other browsers as it, to quote the all famous Todd Howard; "It just works".

My point is, Edge doesn't deserve half, or any of the shit it is getting. Yet people are still giving it shit because "it is just IE" despite the fact that it isn't. That is why I suggest, that if you are using Opera, Firefox or Chrome and want a new feel of a browser. Try to download a adblock extension to Edge and start it up. Try to use it as your daily driver for a month or two and see that it is very worthy of challenging Chrome, Opera and Firefox on a even playing field, despite what people would have you think.
