Windows 10: View Poll Results: Do you use Edge as your primary browser??

I bet in time when chrome extension developers get around to it they'll port them over to Edge. MS has provided tools to simplify the process.

 

Link only works in Edge, and opens up the Store app: Edge Extension Toolkit

 

Edge and Chrome are notorious for hogging up RAM. That's why I use Firefox and even IE instead.

 

Right now with 10 tabs in use Edge is only using around 27 MB of RAM.

 

Wish mine only used that amount
With 1 tab, only showing my top sites i have this

 

I switch between Edge and FF, mainly because of Roboform. I can have the Roboform toolbar in FF, tried it in Chrome but could only have the Icon showing in the right corner which took extra clicks to get to my log ins.

The other problem I had, although that seems to be getting better in FF, there are a couple of games I play in Facebook, Bubble Witch Saga, Candy Crush Soda etc. trying to play them in FF or Chrome was nigh on impossible, clicking on a box and the lag was terrible it was all so slow and jerky but they all ran smooth and fast in Edge.

If they get the ability to have my Roboform toolbar extension I'd probably stick with Edge. Oh and another thing, I'm usually a decent speller and when in forums via Edge if I do spell something wrong it will highlight it and a right click gives me the choice to pick the correct word. When doing the same in FF even though I have it ticked to check the spelling as I type it doesn't and words I know are wrong don't give the chance to change them or does it tell me they are wrong so if I'm in doubt I have to copy the word and paste it into Wordweb to find the correct spelling. *Confused

 

Here's a screen shot.. with 10 tabs open..

 

You have nothing for Edge further down, under background tasks?

 

I do.. never mind. *Wink

 

lol, I was getting ready to try and do a reset of Edge, try and improve it *Smile

 

I'll bet one of those background processes, is one of the new ones I find great.
The notifications turned on in Edge settings. I can have Windows Ten Forums open and reduce Edge to the taskbar(not closed) and do something else on my PC, and I'll get a toast pop-up when someone post on one of my subscribed threads.

 

I only use Edge for testing when I'm running my Insider Build. Pale Moon is still my main browser.

 

LOL. Right now it's occupying almost 500MB with only 2 tabs (Yahoo Mail and this site).

 

The Edge Back button is inadequate for me.

Some websites go forward 2 pages after one click. (Click link on page 1 and it loads page 2 which immediately loads page 3.).
If I'm on page 3, a simple Back button doesn't work because going back to page 2 immediately bounces me to page 3 again.

I need the ability to go back several pages at once- like in FF, IE, and I presume Chrome by holding down the Back button and seeing the sequence history.

Unless Edge offers this (and I admit I've not looked hard at the AU version yet), it can't be my main browser.

 

Right click on back arrow...
