I don’t understand this article but I HATE EDGE and I WILL NOT use it.
Earlier than that. I guess you blocked Windows ME
from your memory...
Forgot to add this, if one wants to know the transformation of a communist to a libertarian read Orwell’s “Letters from Catalonia.” In reality this was actually an intellectual preface to his great novel 1984. Orwell gained much wisdom in Spain. In Spain he saw the belly of the beast. It changed him.
The Edge engine had nothing to do with why I didn’t use it. I had no knowledge, even, of the relative quality of the Edge engine. The reason I avoided it is the same reason i avoided Safari, even though may principal platform is MacOS: Portability across multiple operating environments.
You’re right about ME being a bad one. I think the difference is that ME was intentionally broken — it was purposely made terrible to convince Win95 and Win98 users to switch to Win2000 and later to WinXP.
Whereas Vista and Win8 were supposed to be good, and failed at that.
I never use Edge but it seems that Chrome has so weird issue that I sometimes cannot reach the Citrix server to do some work at home. Edge always works, weird.
I don’t think Yes had Microsoft in mind when they did ‘Close To The Edge’..
But then why they thought it would be great to replace a real pos Internet Exploder with an even crappier pos Edge - there has to be something in the water in Redmond..
Don’t push me ‘cause I’m close to the Edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
To quote the actor Sal Basiglio, acting as an Indian in the movie “The Frisco Kid”, when he looked at a Jewish rabbi’s torah, “I’ve read every word and didn’t understand a thing”.
Same for much of this article. It was informative but I don’t have the computer knowledge to translate it.
I liked Windows 7, have 8 and it sucks, will probably get 10 with a new computer.
I like Internet Explorer. It works. Remember Netscape. It worked. Got some old 5-1/2 floppy disks right next to my foot. They once worked (no port any more).
However, since I’m stuck with Microsoft whatever, how does the Chromium engine effect my every day typing - nothing fancy, just articles, tables, and emails, and should I care?
Thanks from out in computer left field.
Lots and lots of soy, onesie pajamas, and cocoa mugs in Redmond.
The Edge > Bono
If Microsoft was going to surrender on the browser engine, then they should have done it a long time ago and kept the Internet Explorer name. Now they’ve lost the browser business.... probably permanently... to Google.
I'd like to know the same about Win 10. I have been using it on five computers since it came out and haven't had a moment's trouble with it.
Edge sucks. Chrome takes up too much space. I like IE.
I only use Chrome for utilizing Farcebook and Twitter, that's it. I use Palemoon for everything else, including my finances. I only use IE11 for when I have to do something that will only work on that browser.
I’ll just stick with “Duck Duck Go”, thanks anyway...I’ve had excellent results with it.
