    Just read that MS is canning Edge for a chromium developed browser. Thoughts?

    I think im in the minority, I like how w10 looks. It needs some polish but the overall look of the OS as a whole is great. I do not like how some sites are molasses slow on edge, or do not work at all, and I also am not fond of the little glitches in 10. Like everytime I wake from sleep, I have to disconnect and reconnect my wireless. Tablet mode is a JOKE at the moment. They need to port in windows 8.1 to tablet mode and be done with it.

    What build are you on? Redstone 4 had lots of issues reconnecting to the WiFi but Redstone 5 fixed that.

    Starlight5 Yes, I'm a cat. What else is there to say, really?

    That's just sad! Having Firefox with privacy&security add-ons for personal stuff, and one of my jobs requiring Chrome, I don't use it - but otherwise I'd definitely choose it over Chrome, Edge being faster and easier on battery.
