Microsoft Edge provides no support for VML, VB Script, Toolbars, BHOs, or ActiveX. The need for such extensions is significantly reduced by the rich capabilities of HTML5, and using HTML5 results in sites that are interoperable across browsers.I had to blink a few times and be sure I was still on Microsoft's site.
If, in fact there is no support for ActiveX and VB script, and it stays that way past the 'beta' period, I'll start taking them a little more seriously as far as browser security is concerned.
I hate BHO.
