New Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 18836 (20H1) -Feb. 14 Insider

Hello,

Hi there

@slicenfice

Switch to Firefox

menus available, built in pdf reader, bookmark manager sensible, highly customiseable, language choice, imports bookmarks from IE etc.

I hate Edge but FF seems perfectly acceptable if you use a lot of bookmarks, like menus and want automatic translation of websites and a whole slew of other things. One niggle when installed Language is US English but just switch languages.

In what way is Edge a disaster? How much have you tested, used it? Tried a day or two, then given up?

Edge is without a doubt the best browser I have ever used, having been used it uniterrupted as my main browser since October 2014. I only use other browsers to keep myself continously signed in to multiple Azure AD and MS accounts, Edge always being signed in to the primary accounts.

One problem I have is that Edge will not work on some of the sites I use to do online bill paying. I also have experienced the problem magilla posted.

Hi there
Each to their own -- personally I HATE any application that doesn't have a decent set of menus --with a couple of very large monitors I don't want my computers to behave just like glorified mobile phones with large screens.

@CountMike you might like this feature too in FF.

I really do like the FF feature though of being able to translate websites automatically (you can disable it too if you want)

For instance from German Rail site (Deutsche Bahn) -- translation is fine -- I understand German too so just a test. (German Rail pass 10% reduction)

NO !!

Bad news again on VMWare front

VM's hang when you try and connect usb drives - whether usb2 or usb 3 - even if you ensure VM is set fror running in version 15.X of VMWare. Doesn't matter if it's a Windows or Linux VM running from this build as HOST.

Although you can get back into windows you can't close the VM without a re-boot. (not quite true actually -- you can kill it with Task manager via ctrl-alt-del and then go into task manager that way but it's probably safer to re-boot anyway).

Same problem also if you run on a Linux Host and have this build on a VM. With Linux though you can by using the PID get rid of the VM but it's safer to re-boot anyway.

so again I'm afraid this build is still a NO NO.




C'mon Ms and VMWare -- we've had this problem now for at least the last 4 or 5 builds !!!!!!! Forget about making more themes etc -- get USEFUL stuff working PLEEEEEEEEEASE.

Of lesser importance IE11 hangs randomly - especially if you right mouse click on settings and change a few things like add status bar etc.
