Edge is my new default browser
-
...and it's kinda weirding me out. I mean: it's a good browser: I've seen no problems, no crashes, no rendering issues. I'm still getting used to the Search box being the default input (though if you put in a URL it acts just like an address bar) but this, at least, reflects how it's actually being used. However it's IE. OK, it's not, but it has the blue "e" and it's from Microsoft and I've signed the IE must die petition and everything, yet here I am using, and enjoying using, a browser by Microsoft starting with "e". It makes me nervous. It's my default browser because as a web developer I need to ensure the stuff I write will work on the platforms most used, and Windows 10 will be big. So I've made Edge my default browser, and I thought it would bug me, and...it's not. I'm liking Windows 10. A lot. In spite of my deep fears. Fears that have been honed from decades of frustration and disappointment with overhyped underdelivery. So far so good.

I find the karmic implications of your post... disturbing. You are asking for a Murphy strike from orbit, just to be sure.

From what I heard/read, Microsoft could not make a decent browser anymore based on the old framework of IE, Edge allowed them to do something totally different, with a different model. Hopefully, the browser continues to do well. I also hope that Windows 10 does well, both for us the consumer/user, and for Microsoft, as a company. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm loving Windows 10, and Edge when I use it now and again.

to the Search box being the default input
You mean, like in Chrome, there is only one bar - honest question, I have never seen Edge ? I have never understood why the navigation bar and the search bar should be different. I cannot report one single occurrence in which having only one bar was a trouble since ever they came up with teh feature in Chrome (that means several years ago). I even installed the FF add-on Omnibar at work (we're compelled to Firefox) to get the feature as well there.

The one problem I have with the Omnibox is that it leaks information. It leaks info about previously visited sites - this would be acceptable if I was typing in an address, but when I'm doing a search it really isn't on. Info leaks into a Incognito mode session, though I doubt it leaks back out. I like the feature, but was left red-faced by it just last week. :doh:

But this is also the case for the separate navigation and search bar, ain't it ?

That's how I have IE 11; why have two boxes that do the same thing?
