More pushing of Win10 & Edge by MS ..... now VM's to play with.
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:14:18 PM »
Latest item from the Register.

Microsoft pushes us closer to the Edge: Test new web browser now in free Windows 10 VMs

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/17/windows_10_edge/

What is the opinion of Edge ?
Personally I use firefox because of the addons & prefer the UI to Chrome.

opinion is its junk.

They have copied chrome's UI.  Its a modern app.

The issue I have with it mainly is the fact its so feature bare. 

All these features e.g. are in IE11 but not in edge.

Security zones
Cookie control
Encryption control
Cache control
GPU acceleration control
HTTP protocol control
Fonts control. notably accessibility options.
Built in ad/tracker filtering which is extremely good performance.
Certificate revocation control
Ability to control plugin security.
Multimedia control
and more I cannot be bothered to list now.

Edge is an extremely basic bare bones browser, that seems optimised more for touch.
