    Until Edge has a full-screen mode, I won't bother revisiting it.

    I never noticed it was missing, probably because I rarely ever use it, but it does indeed appear to be missing. Just curious - what do you use it for?

      Um, you just said you haven't tried it in CE so I'm not sure what we are discussing. My post specifically indicated that I disliked it before and this is the first version I think might actually be good, so let's resume this discussion after you actually try it and have something more concrete other than "doo doos" to talk about, haha :)

      I'm not going to try it, or at least not by preference. Microsoft can shout about how good it is until they are blue in the face - but I remember that they shouted really loudly all over the TV that it was wonderful for the first one and that was a total lie, as you well know. The only good thing about that one was "you could use it to download Chrome"! So why should I believe a random person who - as far as I know - could well be working for the MS marketing department? :laugh:

        Web-based VDI sessions mostly, but I also like to go full screen for some other things as my eyesight isn't overly brilliant and if I'm going to be on a tab for any length of time, the more screen estate I can get, the less eye-strain I suffer.

                        Yeah, a bit of a strange omission I must say. Doesn't affect me much but I do find it odd that it's missing.

                                    I have been trying out Edge after most major updates since Windows 10 came out and always ended up hating it and going back to Chrome, but I think that has changed after this Creator's Update. Chrome seems to me like it has been getting slower and slower. Scrolling performance leaves a lot to be desired these days, and the latest update has tabs regularly freezing up for 5 seconds at a time on all my computers (1 mac laptop and 2 PCs). The one thing I really like about Edge is that it certainly feels a lot more responsive and the scrolling is buttery smooth. The only thing I'm kind of on the fence about is Edge's font rendering. Chrome has much smoother looking fonts, whereas Edge gives text a bit more contrast but it seems to come at the expense of smoothness. I don't think that will continue to be an issue after upgrading to a high DPI ultrawide in the near future, but it's a bit of an issue on my plebian 96 DPI monitor at the moment (although I do like the 30" of glorious real-estate). I removed my Chrome taskbar shortcuts and completely made the switch a few days ago and I gotta say I think I enjoy Edge more overall now. Anyone else try to make the transition after Creator's Update? What were your thoughts?

                                    Until I can pin the favorites sidebar to the left and persist that across sessions, I have no interest. It would probably be a trivial change for the Edge team to make.

                                      You can pin it to the right and persist it across sessions. That's pretty close I think, haha.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun
