Edge Browser

[RonH]

Anyone yet preferring W10 Edge browser over Chrome as their default?
I am using Chrome which I find very good but I have taken another look at Edge just to be sure. Can't see any operational advantages. Am I missing something?

Edge is not a bad browser, but it's not yet ready for prime time in my opinion.
- It's way less customizable than Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
- Support for add-ons/plugins is still very limited.
- Last time I tried to use it intensively, in December 2016, it crashed a lot.

Thanks Hans.
Setting up Favourites across the top bar is also a pain. And if you open a top folder (within which are sub folders) then to open a sub folder you have to click on it. This then opens in a side bar. Think I will stick with Chrome ... so easy to open sub folders with mouse.

With Windows fall creators update Edge has finally come of age and then some!(IMHO)
F11 full screen now works, it's fast and I've yet to see it crash, you can make notes on pages...the only downside I see is the fact, compared to Internet Explorer, you can't drag items from history to a folder. Any workaround?

[HansV]

How do you do that? In Internet Explorer, I cannot drag items from History to anywhere else. Nothing happens.

Thanks, I hadn't expanded the site (I never use History).

This seems to be a limitation of Edge, I haven't been able to find a workaround. It's up to you to decide whether that is a show-stopper or not...
