Just glad I dumped IE11
So happy with Edge knowing it is not going to freeze or crash
Also funny no one has tried to do to Edge what they are doing to IE11

Internet Explorer is no longer the default Windows browser, and with Windows 10, Microsoft not only made this huge change to its operating system but it also took the first step towards introducing a universal browser working on PCs and smartphones alike.
Microsoft Edge is the name of the new kid on the block, but Internet Explorer continues to be available in Windows 10 as a backup just in case your company apps or a specific service isn’t working the way it should in the new operating system.
But this doesn’t change anything in terms of security, and far as Internet Explorer is concerned, the old browser continues to be one of the most attacked apps currently available.

I myself think Microsoft are going to do all they can so that Edge is more protected, as it is their baby now and IE 11 is as far as thing go an adult or elderly and nearing the end of its life span.
IE has been going since I think windows 95 that is when I first came across it.

For more information about this update, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3104519.
Edge is still to new. As it becomes more popular it will become a larger target for attackers.
I've actually gone back to using IE over Edge. Simple extension support isn't there, tabbed previews in the taskbar kind of kill the experience for me, and also IE has less window chrome than Edge. It's kind of disappointing to say the least. Edge was supposed to be the saving grace of Microsoft's browser front and all they've done is delay needed features, lacks certain advanced features, and just overall has been buggy to use.
Edge definitely needs more work. I think MS should have waited before they released it to the public.
