Windows 10: Only 2 Percent of Windows 10 Consumers Using Microsoft Edge Browser

Edge is almost more of a app than it is a browser plus it is early in development, not even supporting extensions yet.

Using developer editon 33 of Opera browser, best looking, extension using of the bunch in my opinon.

I do like Edge but the two big things I'm waiting on: extension support (more specifically, WOT) and the ability to change users like in Chrome. While the latter isn't as big a deal, I rely on WOT to ensure I don't go to a site that looks legit but is not.

 

Don't want to be forced to use Bing search. Cannot get it to change to something else. I am sticking to firefox.

 

It's not surprising that only 2 percent are using Edge. It's not fully cooked yet.

 

It will be usable once they get some extensions that you can add.

 

You don't have to use the BING search, Sarah. I changed mine to Google. Just check the Tutorial section.

After 3 weeks on Windows10, I'm finding myself using EDGE more than IE11. Edge is much better at reducing the annoying advertisements that pop-up, or auto-play on many websites. It's much more enjoyable to use in that regard. Dark theme is nice too.

Don't like the lack of built-in browser control however. No way to add sites to various security/privacy zones, stop the "mixed content" pop-up, etc.. You can change settings in the Internet Options in the legacy version of the "Control Panel", but that only affects IE11 (or whatever IE browser you use)...not EDGE, as far as I can tell.

 

I've just checked the TF site stats.

Chrome 60%
Firefox 16%
IE 8%
Safari 6%
Edge 4%
Opera 1%
Others

 

That's interesting.. I'm part of that 4%.

Thanks for posting.

 

As the title says, does a disk cleanup remove Edge temporary internet files?

 

The article says that it's 2% of "the market," not 2% of Windows 10 users. That's a huge difference.

Might want to correct that, OP.

 

Good eye..

 

For me, Edge works decent when you turn off Adobe Flash. Which, I really appreciate that feature. However, if you turn it back on the browser tends to lag, hang etc. I blame the websites more than Microsoft. It really shines a light on how much adobe flash coding has really gotten out of hand.

 

About:config (in Edge) has allow localhost loopback (this might put your device at risk) on by default, why ?

 

I use Edge 70% of the time, the rest is done on Firefox due to extension reason (I know, it will come to Edge later on) and currently we cannot change the default temporary/cache location for Edge which is not healthy for Solid State Drives especially when you do a lot of media streaming, it's currently not following custom Windows cache and temporary folder location unlike Chrome and Firefox.

 

Well done, that is a huge difference, I think one of the moderators might look at changing the headline, very misleading.
