    The only problem with extensions in Edge I have noticed, is, more than two, slows it waaaaay down*Sad
    So I decided on my 2 most important, and now I'm happy enough.
    I have never used only one browser.
    I have one for each browsing "task".

    I only use one extension on my browsers and it's the one we can't discuss. Generally speaking I keep all of my PC stock and I don't go around fiddling with it so I guess that's why I don't have any issues and my PC is rock stable as well.

    And I use two browsers but when I get one thing figured out for my sleep timer bat program I think I can drop FF and just use Edge. Now that would be nice I think. Not having to use a third party browser.

    I had to choose between the Translate add-on(which uses the most resourses) and the Office one(which I don't really need as I have Office365 and can quickly go to the bookmarked online Office too).
    I decided to keep the translate*Smile

    The back story on this is I love to use my PC for a radio and I have streaming Sirius and when I go to sleep I set up a sleep timer to shut my FF browser down after 90 minutes. What I want to do is run Sirius on Edge so I only need one browser.

    I use Firefox and Vivaldi. Edge is no alternative for me.

    Right Edge opens to ready state in 1 sec here without any bookmarks and favorites ,thus far Edge in 14915 refuses to import any of those from Chrome along with the other longstanding Edge instability and lack of normal and reliable browser features you would expect coming from a much better browser like Chrome of Fire Fox vs 2 seconds for Chrome to ready state on this new PC in my specs . IOW I'm willing to accept the 1 sec. compromise *really

    Keeping in mind With Chrome I have who knows well over a thousand favorites/bookmarks and counting that been following me around me around for a decade and my 4K HDR Sony Google Andoid TV and my Roku and who knows what else synced to Chrome with tons of You Tube playlists and the Google store for the TV and in general and Google services all in my browser profile and nothing in the MS Edge browser .

    I haven't rolled Firefox into this test mule-driver yet on this clean 14915 install on it's own SSD apart from the OEM metal with AU I rolled in on it. . .

    I expect Firefox will be fine in all respects like always ,it never opened or worked slow in the 6 yr old old PC this one in my spec replaced since I rolled 8 GB of ram and a 6 core AMD CPU in it that all can't touch this Haswell Core i5 OEM box but it wasn't bad at all even by today's standards for a daily driver until it fried the mainboard 2 weeks ago to the day *really

    what .bat file ? ........... I get Sirius or something like that on D*TV I can also get on a web browser and I can put on the TV or PC and 5.1 or not (maybe on a software wake timer in my PC ? ) or for sure on the Sony Andoid TV & just have the TV do all that without Windows PC overhead which is maybe way extreme for simple a DBS radio anyway but I wake up with the crows and turn on the business cable channels to get the opening and overnight trades and the markets and don't need all that.

    I have a Shciit audio stack in here for the phones for critical and casual listening at audiophile/studio quality or the music game room with the THX PM3 certified tunes HDWE and speakers in there... music should be played on a decent playback chain from a decent lossless source and only from Tidal HiFI in a chrome web broser if you use a browser not mpeg compressed DBS radio IMO........ 0fc YMMV . *Smile

    OTOH I wasn't aware ya all were having a private (.bat file ) dialog here .....sorry for the interruption *really

  15. Clever website in your sig. Windows stuff is cool , but all that other programming /coding stuff is way above my PC pay grade I just like to think I'm an expert enthusiast or just been doing all this too long since DOS and Win. 3.0 and too cheap to pay anybody for PC doctoring ,upgrading or building before I got lazy in my dotage buying ready made HP CTO boxes and maybe doing simple upgrades and fooling around with these winbetas *Smile
