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

    On a sour note, I installed the new MS Edge Chromium last week however there is an issue with Loading from cold boot

    After clicking on the edge icon it takes 28 seconds for edge to populate and then 7 seconds to go to home page (google).

    Comparing with previous edge (last week) it took 10 seconds from cold boot to load home page.

    I have done a plethora of tweaks,

    1. Uninstalled network adapter driver and rebooted no improvement

    2.Disabled proxy settings no improvement

    1. Disabled extensions no improvement
    2. Ran trouble shooter no improvement
    3. Cleared browser cache

    6 disabled start up programs

    1. Disabled Norton 360
    2. Safe mode with networking no improvement in loading.

    My conclusion is very buggy.

    '

    I have uninstalled MS Edge Chromium and reverted back to MS Edge, from cold boot to home page as was last week 10 seconds to load home page from cold boot.

    As a side not google chrome loads from cold boot in 12 seconds to home page.

    Any thoughts from anyone on how to improve this issue

    I Found it!... Thanks Drew, and your right, this is a Very nice feature. Not sure why they left it as a  hidden feature in the flags settings. 😄

    You need to Enable the flag & hit Restart At the bottom-right of the flag page.  Then or now when you go to RV the Grammar tools will be at the top-right.  You may need to 'poke' your cursor at the top edge to make or have the RV toolbar appear.  No need to "play with it a while".  It will look like this.

    Cheers,

    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

    Cheers,

    Drew

    I Just now enabled the "Grammar Tools In Reading View" Flag, but don't see any changes yet. Maybe after I play with it awhile. ?

    Yes, you're right there is more info, the text is not complete.  When one clicks it, it expands, like this ⬇.  Why is it not for you seems odd.  I hit the link, here in your note (to which, I am replying, now), page loaded, I clicked on this one & showed the full text; in other words, worked fine for me. Try it from here --> I have put the path to Tips below the picture.  Oh & some of them have wee scroll bars to see the rest of their text.
