So I think Edge might finally be a good browser.

Hey, if I have to explain a joke... ... I probably should have written it better in the first place :(

Until Edge has a full-screen mode, I won't bother revisiting it.
Slogans aren't solutions.
So it won't work with windows 8? Damn!

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.
Slogans aren't solutions.
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 never asked you to believe me. I just said this wasn't a productive discussion if you haven't tried the thing we are talking about. You don't have to try it, and I didn't ask you to try it...I just said that this is a pointless discussion until you've tried it.

This site is very anti-Microsoft. So, if you say you like anything Microsoft then you must be a fanboi and you must be working for Microsoft. That is the intellectual level of most that will respond. :^)

It's funny you say that because this site is primarily a Microsoft-centered site.

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.

What do you mean? You can pin it and persist it. Just not on the side you're used to, sure, but that's actually pretty close to what you're looking for, isn't it? Or am I missing something?

I mean that's nice but no banana. I want it on the left. It would be trivial for MS to allow that and, until they do, I will stay with Chrome. On top of which, it does not persist across sessions. If I close Edge the tab is hidden when I next open it. Oh, and I was being a tad sarcastic. :sigh:

This lappy I'm using right now is 8.1 -- but you wouldn't recognise it as being so. I used a subtle method known as "hacking the living cr@p out of the registry" to make it useable.

I think that's the problem. We all meet so many good things that MS don't shout about at all - Visual Studio springs to mind, as does SQL Server - that when we meet (or worse have to work with) the total stinkers that they push, push, push as the best thing since sliced bread - Vista, Win8, Win10, Edge, and Word all leap to the foreground - we get all cynical and think "F 'em!" because we know how right they can get it when they try. And we also know how stubborn MS can be, even in the face of near universal distaste. Since most users don't meet the real gems, they assume the dross is the best it can get, and we know different.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Haha, well, I tried it on my computer and it stays open if I close and re-open Edge s o :~ Did you actually try it after the Creator's Edition update?
