(New) Edge C - Step Right Up & Discuss

Ok , Kevin, I'll toss in my 2 cents, FWIW.

I not going to say what's the cause but, it is NOT because, Edge C is "buggy", it is not.  When I 1st read your 1st note, 2 thoughts came to mind...

1. Uninstall Edge C and re-install it from scratch including with a fresh, new Download.

and

2. Drop unnecessary Norton!  I have, always, discouraged the use of Norton & 10 doesn't need any such 3rd party item, anyway.  I, still, say this whether it is the cause of your present issue or not.

You could, also, create a test User Profile/Account, grab Edge C there & see what behavior there is in that.

Edge C should be as fast or faster than Edge HTML.  My own, not much time to blink whilst loading & then fun keeping up with it 😉

I would suggest start over.  Edge C is far from "buggy" & sure as heck not slow, loading or after that!

It sounds, to me, rightly or wrongly, that the install you had suffered a wee bit of corruption so to speak.  Please, try it all over, again or make a dummy User account  & try it there.

Check that 1909 is fully up date, too.

Edge C Download is HERE

Hi _____,

I'll go as far to suggest it is, also, superior to other browsers, besides Edge HTML.

Yes, I have had Dark in the OS 'forever'.  It is more pleasant the bright white (I'm old, too, but, have never been a fan of harsh brightness.)  It's great to have consistency (in appearance), as well, across the OS including, the web pages.

Quite expect Dark to not need its flag, soon due to its popularity & the amount to which, it has been requested.  I'm, also, a Bing Insider.  Dark for it has been implemented for Mobile and will start rolling out sometime in the near future.  For PCs et al, it's coming someday, too.

A feature I feel is note-worthy is Strict Tracking Prevention.  And there is a good chance, once people have Collections they will end up liking & using that a lot.  But, at least, GA has Share... we went a while as Insiders without that.

And one handy/helpful extension I do use is Scroll button(s). (Have tried various extensions, yet, actually, use VERY few )

Great to see this thread catching some notice 👍👍

Cheers,

Drew

Hi Drew,

           I agree  with you totally. The New Edge Chromium Browser is Superior over its predecessor. I particularity  Like the speed and stability, It's Very fast. I have been a beta tester for the Browser for some time now also and really enjoy everything about it. I see by your image in your reply that you are also using the Flag to set your browser to force "All Web Sites to dark". This is one of my favorite Features. It sure helps my old eyes 😎

Hi Drew,

This is a great idea! However, so that you can get the responses you are looking to achieve, maybe you could re-word your question heading, eg ...... instead of Step Right Up, how about User Feedback Here Plz?

As for me, I love the new LOGO. As an Aussie, where the culture has a lot to do with surfing, since we are an island nation and there's great surfing on some of our beaches, to me the logo looks like a sea wave and, to me, represents Surfing the Web. Whoever designed it is very clued in and clever.

TIPS -- I have already provided feedback via the Edge browser that this item on its own webpage is still incomplete. By that I mean that one clicks onto a Tip, and all there is is a lovely graphic, which, here again, are beautifully designed, but there is no Tip! LOL. I'm sure they'll do something about putting information behind each graphic eventually, I hope!

Yes, there are still a lot of missing bits, especially those things we have come to rely on and use frequently, such as the Reading List in Favorites and the Set Tabs Aside feature in the address bar. I hope they will be restored. However, I also use my Windows phone (using Edge Legacy) and Samsung Galaxy using the Microsoft Launcher, and I notice that the Reading List is available on both those devices. I mainly use the Reading List via my Lumia950 and will not upgrade to the new Edge until such time as that feature is reinstalled.

One other bit of feedback I've provided has to do with going to the new Edge Downloads page, and where it says Try it!, there should also be a comment telling you that this new Edge will override the old one, and not sit beside the Legacy version. At least this will help you decide whether or not you are willing to try it! Otherwise, maybe, someone could do something about creating the Legacy version that installs at the same time as one downloads the new Edge. Much like when one upgrades to a new version of Windows.

Also, is there a new Edge UserVoice forum, for feature suggestions?

Otherwise, I'm loving it! Thanks Microsoft engineers. You rock!

The idea in these threads is to "View", read, but, also, to contribute, write a note, "Reply"... input is, always, welcomed & encouraged.

Cheers,
