New Edge Browser

I have just moved to Chromium Edge.

Certainly a vast improvement, well worth changing.

It seems ok although i use Vivaldi, i can't see a reason why someone would use Google Chrome these days, i guess they don't know better.

I still can't use Edge on Android it is missing a proper speed dial.

Re: New Edge Browser

I have edge at work but don't use it as I need the bookmarks side bar.

So use trusty Internet Explorer

You should give Vivaldi a go that has a bookmarks sidebar.

Settings->General->Show the Favourites Bar

Bring up the favourites sidebar and there is a "pin this pane" icon at the top right.

It's Internet Explorer users which are holding the internet back, and causing Web Developers like myself headaches, due to the outdated and pure crappyness that it is.

I believe it has another 2-3 years of support before it gets killed off!

Microsoft doesn't seem to think so.

Quote:

Internet Explorer is a component of the Windows operating system and the most current version will continue to follow the specific support lifecycle policy for the operating system on which it is installed. Internet Explorer 11 will be supported for the life of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

It's ridiculous to keep it running that long on Windows 10, Windows 7 support ended in Feb 2020.

Oh well, if people still use Internet Explorer of any kind they're asking for trouble. :)

They are if i built the websites :p:

Clients don't have the budget to support Internet Explorer and the dedicated work it requires to work the same as other browsers... So I simply put a full screen unsupported message up pointing users to use a modern browser which follows modern standards, rather than a browser which has only received security updates for the last few years.

Not really mate.... Hardily anyone is programming for IE6 for example now so I just dont use those sites if they dont render well enough to use it......

Whats sad is when they change something THAT IS FINE AND WORKS FOR ALL BROWSERS to something that only works good on NEWER BROWSERS...... Why change it if it works fine on newer browsers anyway??

Its sad not all browsers can recognise the same things.......

Re: New Edge Browser

Because programming is becoming more efficient and you can do a lot more now with each language than you could when IE6 was released. If no one advanced any further with programming then we'd still be on crappy sites with every aspect in iframes.
