Comments and Reviews
Actually REALLY good since they changed to the Chromium engine. It's very fast, supports all the same extensions that chrome dose. Also the Android version is excellent. It syncs with the desktop app, has ad block built in (it's off by default though, just go into settings and toggle it on), integrates with Windows 10 nicely. You can easily tap a button and have the same site come up on your PC etc. Been my default browser since they switched to Chromium.
The amount of ads, tracking, and other unwanted junk that is enabled in Microsoft Edge by default is absolutely intolerable. I don't want my browser to fill the new tab page with tabloid news, show me coupons while spying on my shopping habits, or cram other Microsoft products into the browser interface. The huge non-removable "B" button for Bing services in the browser bar is an eyesore. Firefox doesn't do this crap, and even Chromium is better than what Microsoft Edge is doing now.
Pros:
Contras:
Cluttered and busy, Edge really, really wants you to sign into a Microsoft account. Once you turn off as many Microsoft specials as possible, it feels usable again -- but then, it's just another Chromium skin.
Can't recommend Edge for a simple reason no browser shall do by their own without their user consent: Reverting the user-defined Search-Engine. Every time I set it to StartPage, every now and then Edge sends me a notification they reverted it "because seems I didn't do it on my own" so there's that.
If you use all the Microsoft ecosystem, within Bing Search-Engine, maybe this browser is just your go-to, I mean is already preinstalled on your Windows.
Does a fairly good job of text-to-speech from pdfs. However, I am obliged to say that it's frustrating that if often pauses, or halts, during readings, and there is no obvious way of restarting it at the same point. Additionally, when it is reading English texts with embedded French words and phrases the pronunciations are truly execrable
Pros:
Cons:
"Missing the option to automatically open bookmarks" use Workspaces
