After reading these forums , about Edge, the more convinced I am to wait ( skip ?) the update to new Edge !
MS has still a very long way to go ..........this "new" Edge is not yet finished and the word "stable " seems to be an understatement ........

It honestly depends on what people are doing and level of expectations (extremely subjective). I personally have no issues with Edge Chromium because I'm not one to stick a thousand add-ons on it . In fact I can't tell you what add-ons I have because I don't install any (other than what gets installed with the app).

Anyway I now find I much prefer to use Edge Chromium over Edge.

For me...

• It plays all my online multimedia fine
• Has no issues in accessing any of my financial institutions
• Is fast performing (though I've timed it in nano seconds)
• Goes where I want to go without issue or worry.
• Doesn't crash on me.

No add-ons get installed with the app. That's why they're called add-ons. (Or extensions even.)

Perhaps one should learn to actually read before posting....

Thank you.

That you learned how to read? Cool

For some reason my virus protection, PC Matic, won't allow the new Edge to open. If I pause PC Matic the new edge opens fine.
I uninstalled the new Edge & tried the older Edge & it opened without an issue. Any idea how to fix this?
