Windows 10: Microsoft: Windows 10 Users Should Say No to Chrome and Firefox

Same that is good news so now we know cant wait

 

If Edge had all the features and functionality that Firefox does, I'd use it.

 

I tend to agree that if Edge was closer to FF I would just use that as my sole browser. But for me I still use 3.. Edge, FF and Chrome.

 

.What's next? Thank you for using Windows. Unfortunately, only for 2 - 3 hours a day. That's defenitiv not enough. Is this the price of a free operating system? The life of a Windows user can be quite hard! *sarc

 

I'll continue to use the browser I want to use, which is currently Firefox. Microsoft's opinion about what I should or shouldn't use means absolutely nothing to me.

 

I agree with @larc919 I'm not having some giant corporation telling me what I can and can't use.

 

MS has no business telling users what Browser to use or any other software product. I don't use Chrome, never have and never will but I do use Firefox and will continue to do so.

 

What I HATE about Edge, is, you go somewhere likeGizmodo or Softpedia, that have a bunch of ads(not bad or iritating ones, but still a lot on the left & right sides) and you get there quickly, but, you can't scroll down(or scrolling is temporatily jerky) until every damn Google ad is loaded. Other browsers, either load in the background and use place holders till they're loaded, allowing you to scroll, or wait to switch until the page is rendered. I would rather look at and move around on the old page a moment longer, then frustratingly try to scroll...

 

Until Edge gets add-ons so I can use Robo-form, I'll pass. Not worth having to remember all my passwords.

 

No thanks, Microsoft. I will not choose your vastly inferior browser over Chrome.

 

To me chrome is s֍֍t tried it twice vowed never to use it again

 

Chrome rules, extensions make the case:

my extensions:

weather
gmail checker
ad block
to-do list
google news/trends
search for (custom) all
fvd downloader
last pass

until Edge can run every single one of these I will never even look at it!

 

Note that Microsoft didn't say:

"Windows 10 Users Should Say No to Chrome and Firefox Because Edge Is Better"

That (and the rest of the paragraph) is what Softpedia chose to say. The popup simply says:

"Give Microsoft Edge a shot before you switch defaults...etc.."

I don't find that offensive, but I don't find it convincing either. The current unique capabilities of the Edge browser are not nearly as important as extension/plugin support so we can use password managers and add many other security and usability features. I feel it's unfortunate that they chose to release Edge in such a limited state.

 

Unbelievable that Microsoft would devote time to composing "begging" letters, instead of focusing on making Edge better. This is 2015. Build a better mousetrap Microsoft, and everyone will know about it in a matter of hours, thanks to communications technology.

Every day I run into something I need to do online that can't be done with Edge. Today, it was the inability to print a text excerpt from a web page. Had to use Firefox, using the "Print Highlighted Text" option. Every browser can do this, BUT Edge. The list of Edge "cant's" is longer than the list of "can's", and growing larger every day.

 

I like the look of Edge but it is slower than firefox and it has no add ons. This makes it compleyely unusable for me. Microsoft have announced that they will not be adding extensions until next year now so Edge will be consigned to the dustbin (i.e. nowhere near my start menu) until they make it a real browser.
