I just got a computer with Edge. Icon is similar so I thought it was Explorer at first. I had to set it to display clear page. Otherwise it loads with pages and pages (and pages) of photo stories and ads.
Also, I’m seriously missing adBlock. Webpage ads are placed so close to the right (what DO you call that up/down bar thing?) that it’s hard to keep the cursor on an extended scroll down without clicking an ad. There’s an adBlock Plus coming for Win 10 but the first release has weird issues.
So, other than quick or travel use, this user-unfriendly “Edge browser” computer will probably collect dust for a while.
I use (slightly edited) Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File - MVPS HOSTS file
