Usual collection of luddites check in. Ability to prevent web sites from auto play of videos makes Edge a winner.
Yep, pretty predictable.
> Ability to prevent web sites from auto play of videos makes Edge a winner.
Auto-Play on removable media was one of the worse ideas Microsoft foisted on computer users. It goes back to Windows 98 (we Luddites had been using real computers for 20 years by then) and it has been a major vector for viruses and other malware for two decades since. It should never have been done.
Arguably a worse mistake was in that same timeframe, when Microsoft discovered email (again, we Luddites had been using it for over a decade), they thought, "Hey we could let people attach an executable program to an email message, and it would open up and run on the recipient's computer. Cool!"
Microsoft has a long history of preferring convenience over safety, and coolness over security. So the fact that in 2018 they finally allowed their users to turn off video autoplay is admirable, but my comment is, "About bloody time."
