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

    Thank-you Drew for the post and Link. That sounds really impressive, and I feel that the new Edge is already "Screaming Fast". Can you imagine it Even Faster Than Now.  Wow...

    This is one thing...

    In Edge GA this will be seen when it goes from 80 to 81 which, should be quite soon. A performance boost will come following GA updating to 81.x..xxx.xx from its current 80.x.xxx.xx. This has, already, existed in 81 series (beta Channels) for a while, now.  It is quite significant (see article) & should be readily noticeable.

    You can read about this HERE

     Also:

    Expecting... Collections, Share icon on the toolbar, a toggle for Default browser, built-in ad blocker and more.

    Cheers,

    It is exciting that this discussion has nearly 300 Views.  Now, here is MY view from the Edge; and it's a long way down 👀.  <-- it's a pun

    Being an Edge Insider, I must preface what I'm about to say with this... there are some VERY cool Features coming that are currently in the beta Channels... anyway, that not withstanding, on to my view on Edge:

    Holy browser, Batman**, this thing is good❗** It solidly, legitimately deserves 👍👍 and a big 👌 and maybe a couple of ⭐s or 4 or 5 of them.  And to think, the performance well be, even, better with its forthcoming Update. 🔥

    Cheers,

    Drew******PS: Still, impressed with everything so 'clean' with no (added) ad blocker extension.  Accomplished w/ Edge's Strict Tracking Prevention & Edge's own, native, ad blocking turned On.
