Introducing Microsoft Edge Beta: Be one of the first to try it now

I understand what you mean about personal preferences, but I keep an open mind too. Can you say how the new Edge runs smoother? Does it switch tabs or open menus more quickly than FF did for you?


Being able to use the Chrome store extensions will make all the difference.

For me the difference is mostly on heavy sites, for example on reddit. I can scroll down very smoothly and all videos
play and images show instantly with no lag time. Same site on firefox has short pauses during scroll for images to
appear and videos also start to play after few seconds etc.. But to be honest as I said ,what got me really excited
was the fact that MS gave up on wanting to impose their own browser and chose a more customizable and versatile
browser. I always had 3 browsers installed: MS default, firefox as my main browser and chrome for being able to
cast to TV and the translation etc. Now one browser is doing it all for me! I still don't know about this new browser
when it comes to privacy.
Btw ccleaner dose not support this browser

I'll be SO glad when ( hopefully ) they get around to developing a android version.

You mean this? I use it and it is OK.

If it could only bring itself to sync with my desktop bookmarks.

Had to back away from Edge Beta. Sites are slow to load and sometimes it flashes a screen that there is no internet then loads the page. Back on Firefox for now and all is fine, but will check Edge Beta from time to time.
