Anyone using (new) Edge C (GA) & or testing the Edge Insider beta Channels, comments (bad AND good), tips, info to share, observations, suggestions/requests, issues/problems, curiosities, questions, you name it... The floor is yours...

Myself, I have run all available Insider Builds since April.  And, now, running Edge C GA, as well; swapped from HTML Jan. 15th.

I am/have been very impressed with the performance.  Been a bit fun adapting to some things/methods/locations/layouts/structure.  Some NTML features seem missing, BUT, heaps more stuff is coming very soon.  Some 'new' & different items are quite cool.  It has been interesting as an Insider.  And it will be interesting for people using & discovering THIS Edge.  It is, well, IMHO, will be THE outstanding browser.  I, strongly urge & encourage Folks to adopt it. Be prepared, though... it's very fast ��

Let's see what more detail & specifics y'all may have, will have to add here...

Anxious for your remarks, look forward to the input that can be share to everyone's benefit, of course.

The floor is yours...

Cheers,

Drew

    You asked (me) about ad blockers. Having 1 does no harm nor is a bad idea, still, a good idea.  How needed, now, is hard to say...  I did try running without one for quite a while once we had Strict Tracking Prevention, as an experiment and things stayed very clean, no noticeable difference.  BUT, they are 2 different things, filling 2 different roles/tasks. So, as I suggested, still, a place for an ad blocker.

    Speaking of flags:

    Reading view, aka immersive reader, will not have its full compliment of options without this flag; in other words, this flag needs to be enabled.  > edge://flags, type in Grammar

    👌, well, that's interesting... now, you, really, are taking the, actual, non-beta, GA, "Stable" version.  Now, (new) Chromium-based Edge will replace Edge HTML that you had.  Should be quite seamless, enjoy👍👍 It will automatically take its place as the OS Default web browser, btw.

    Cheers,

    You're welcome, Kim.  It was  GA (not, GS).  And, oops, it's a Microsoft term meaning General Availability, it is what Chromium Edge calls "Stable"... basically means the 'real' thing not, beta versions.

    Sounds like you were running the Edge Beta Channel along side your embedded Edge HTML browser.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    Hi Drew,

    Perhaps "upgraded" isn't the appropriate term(?) I selected an option to use MS Edge Beta instead of Edge. 

    Yes, I am running Beta as my default browser but I should probably check my settings.

    And I don't know what GS is but if I click the link you provided I guess I will find out.

    Thank you for your help!

    Kim
