    I like the customisation, the security and smoothness of the experience. I found the whole affair a little over-whelming, and it is easy to get bogged down with all the settings.

    Edge is much better than IE, and it's nice to see Microsoft getting with the times, however, it seems a bit late in the game.

    The speed dial is essential to me. And it respect my privacy. A true BROWSER, who care about your experience of browsing. Although the startup speed is a bit slow, still somethings to improve. Overall, Vivaldi is the best.
