Edge is the only browser that can encrypt @ 1024 bits. I'm lonely.
TheHuskyIsNotACitizen
Yay Surface Book! I love mine
TheJimCramer
The more plug-ins on Chrome the more bloated it gets... I use it day in day out and its pretty resource intensive.

As an Edge user, this is funny. People are just addicted to Chrome. But Edge is sometimes a bit better in tab previews and reading mode.
BuktoofGappy
I actually switched from chrome to edge, it's faster on my laptop, and chrome is really buggy as well, at least for me.
stormhunter5
This is actually true, edge is more responsive and less cpu intensive
zma123456
I used chrome when it came out as a beta version, but I stopped using it last year and made the switch to Firefox. Never been more happy.
LordStanleu
Please. Opera for the win

(AKA re-skinned Chrome)

"up to" 33%. Much wow.
SpikeSpiegeil
chrome = regret

Edge is on par with Firefox as a browser, but as a PDF reader, it's the best one I have found for large files and loading time.
derTorbs
lol bitching about microsoft while typing from a Microsoft Surface Book.
TheresAGermanWordForThat
Nice that Internet Explorer is trying to find a niche. Fast or convenient didn't work, so they're going third party.
DaSilvarillion
Firefox ftw
superbilliAm
Brandon?
proegel
Edge is nice performance wise. Also it's Javascript support is on par or better than the other browsers. But I still don't trust MS.
yazwho
Its still so far behind in terms of standards. https://html5test.com/compare/browser/chrome-52/edge-14/edge/firefox.html
JosephMcCovery
Yet, you trust Google more?
SirFormidio
Chrome isn't worth it, if you're pressed for battery life, built in browser is the best.
Begotten
chrome is freaking awful. haven't used it in ages.
CatBreadFace
Chrome will use less in December.
ruferto
its true tho

OP fails. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3087338/browsers/which-browser-is-best-on-battery-we-test-edge-vs-chrome-vs-opera-vs-firefox.html

First of all congrats on your Surface book! It is super awesome. Secondly Edge is *actually* nice.
devilinthepal3moonlight
I did a Windows update on win 10 and now chrome is totally not working, edge works fine though.
FastF0x
Is that legit?!
ChloeRed
Yes.
BrantRecon
I have nothing against Edge, really. But I also have a desktop with 32gb of RAM, so Chrome is just fine and Windows 10 doesn't complain.
gaaaaalavant
Looks like a Surface Book? Nice, I love mine.
gallifreyanengineer
I agree, mines amazing.
eerongal
Same here! IMO its the perfect blend of tablet and laptop! i love it, cant see every going back to a regular laptop.
iupvotebadcomments
Long Live Firefox!
blakeice
You are 35+ amiright?
Pontation
Stopped using ff because it crashed too often
LongboardLemon
as a web developer, firefox is nothing but a thorn in my side
zma123456
All hail Firefox.
SavageRancor
Never seen the benifit to Firefox
Alfadorfox
Tree Style Tab
JusticarAlaric
Unlike chrome Firefox can actually continue downloads after a long period of time
SavageRancor
Never had this problem
Marine23
Im going to be honest. I dont like firefox or opera, and actually perfer chrome. I have 128 gigs of ram. I think ill live
alrightokayohsure
I use Opera. It has a built in VPN, which is a nice feature.
PieWillMakeYouDie
Ayyy same
alrightokayohsure
I'm quite surprised with the speed of it when the VPN is on.
PieWillMakeYouDie
As am I, impressed nonetheless
bluesun68
Anyone else tired of an operating system trying to sell you stuff? And forcing updates? And hiding any way to turn this shit off?
uzerok
Give Linux Mint a try some time. Still far from being on par, but they're improving.

My laptop runs very slow since Win 10.
Katalliaan
You missed "breaking anything that uses the video card driver due to a forced update"
InsufferableNinja
I use Fedora and don't have this problem at all. Just lots of other problems (shitty ATI drivers, game compatibility, etc)
o11c
Just switch to Linux. Just not Ubuntu, they're just as bad about selling you stuff :(
samIamm93
reactOS?
TheBlackVan
That's a good point, but did you know java.script.install need your permission to continue?
AwesomeName
Not me, I left that ship long ago. Mint FTW!
HeyDontBeADick
Mint?

confusedsquirrel
But can it play games or must I dual-boot?
Mirawatts
Some companies have started to release on Linux as well, but the majority of games will require a windows emulator, like Wine.
AwesomeName
Steam has over 2.500 games for Linux now. I haven't dual-booted in months.
Blamblam101
Upgrade to Windows 10 Or you will never escape this message. Ever.
fluffycake25
This is why i didn't do the upgrade
bizon1829
This is why I didn't either. And then it automatically did it and froze my comouter
fluffycake25
No it didn't dk it with mine. It would ask me every day but i resisted
UnslicedBreadisCoolToo
There was a point where it would start a timer, saying you can choose not to within X time. MS got in trouble for it.
Atomic2
Not sure if you realize microsoft edge is built into windows and is free.
CoderWithoutCaffeine
Hmmm all browsers are free though.
HappyJello
Nothing is free
BlandSnow
but windows is not free
BenSnow97
It's about control, they want to force an objectively inferior browser on you just because it's theirs.
bluesun68
I do. But there are ads on the start page, Cortana keeps popping up (edit registry to turn off) and I can't find many other settings.
Katalliaan
Settings->Personalization->"Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen" to off
SkellingtonBones
I personally like those. I never get any ads, only fun facts about the scenery that shows as the background.
Atomic2
Ah that does suck. Never used edge myself. You sure the ads are from MS and not built into the PC you're using?
Katalliaan
It's part of the OS. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3039827/windows/7-ways-windows-10-pushes-ads-at-you-and-how-to-stop-them.html
l33t1c4r1u5
I'm not sure what ads they are talking about. There are news stories... Never seen ads myself...
Mirawatts
While OEM machines often have ads built-in, the "upgrade" to Win10 also installed ads for other Microsoft Products, like Office.
