It opens web pages very fast, there's that. But, alas, everything else just feels sluggish. In my crazy high-end system, it takes a second for the menu to show up after right clicking the address bar.
What I want is IE's rendering speed with Chrome's UI and Firefox's extensibility (the good old system, not the new one).
- cwyers 10y agoYeah, the rendering engine is pretty good (although you can still sometimes hit corner cases where it doesn't work very well). Honestly, I think a lot of the problem isn't Edge, it's the whole Universal Windows Platform. It just feels like it's not fully cooked yet for apps that are as sophisticated as a modern web browser.
- nxc18 10y agoIt's not fully cooked in general. Try killing explorer.exe and resizing a UWP app; Something that should have nothing to do with app windows is fiddling with app frames. General nonsense in how the UWP system works is responsible for a lot of lagginess and the generally immature feel of the system. I would love to love Edge, but it really is crippled by the artifacts of its UWP implementation.
- wolf550e 10y agoChrome's extension model is required for security, that's why firefox and edge adopted it and abandoned their old extension/plugin models.
