    I've decided to run Edge as my main Browser.. because Chrome is playing nasty again they scan all your files on your PC with there nasty chrome clean up tool, and they send everything back to Google even if you opt-out (I think)

    Doesn't the Chrome Clean Up Tool have to be downloaded and activated ?

    Nope, they have built it in into Chrome.. and they scan your documents, settings, processes of your pc and other things twice a week.. the scan takes 2-10 minutes to complete.. :/ but i dont trust it, this is a new way for Google to collect your data, and they will benefit from it.. so Google can make big moneys again .... i dont trust it

    Hi there
    the only thing I use Edge for is that it has a built in ADOBE pdf reader and that's all I use it for.

    I use Firefox or IE 11 the rest of the time -- IE11 for SKY GO etc and I prefer menus -- why do people insist on making new apps all menu less and looking more and more like mobile phone apps --if you have a few decent size screens running desktop type applications concurrently you don't want applications that look and behave as if they are mainly designed for running on a 6 inch mobile phone screen !!!

    Cheers
