or not cleanly if I have to....

It really sucks how MS removed the Mica effect/Acrylic.

It was good when it first released, but overwriting your settings because it's syncs without consent, must be edge. Thousand pop ups and banners, must be edge. Overloaded menus, must be edge. Thousand functions a browser doesn't need, must be edge.

Edge is a convoluted and overcomplex mess, and I wonder how it came to this state to work so hard against the user instead the other way around. Edge is the "f2p" mobile game of browsers.

Didn't like it. Felt like internet explorer underwent a bizarre mutations. Switched to brave browser six months ago ane have not looked back. The adblock is glorious.

I don't go to MSN as they sucker me into that clickbait at the bottom of every page, the "You wont believe what such and such looks like now!" etc and Bing gives links to shady sites when you search for a bit of software from within explorer but wow has MS installed a coupon plugin?

Why is Microsoft being so intrusive lately? Just had Edge Install AND OPEN itself without my consent on a Laptop that was in power saving mode.

Got woken up at 1 am because suddenly my screen was bright and was Greeted with "Edge the new Browser" which I couldnt close without going through some stupid introduction. I had to force close it in Taskmanager in 3 different places before it let me close the app and shutdown.

Im sure Edge has some wonderfull features, but stuff like this makes me search for easy Linux Installs tomorow, after Ive made up the lost sleep thanks to this...

Win 10 Installed without my consent too, Same with Cortana, Baking stuff people Dont want into the System only makes them more suspicious with it being so pushy.

I turn off auto updates on windows because they're an annoying pain in the ass. So today I wanted to use docker, which requires a newer version of windows than I have. So I updated. After a million restarts, Edge installs and opens up my chrome session tabs which it obviously stole from chrome. This is a blatant abuse of my privacy. Screw you microsoft for proving you haven't changed. Its not ok to take customers data without their permission.

I'm not going to mention the 7+ things that you can prevent/disable by going into settings for notifications/location/shopping/pinterest/Microsoft Rewards/whatever else. I was enjoying edge for the most part because by default, there weren't many settings to setup as blocked/opt-out of.

Now just because Edge is increasing in market-share, doesn't mean I appreciate being forced to have these stupid "features" loaded onto the browser. I shouldn't have to go into settings every week to remove/disable a stupid feature Microsoft wants to implement for its users.

1. I don't want immersive reader, because F11 does the job.

2. I don't want a QR code for every page.

3. I don't want to send this page to any thing. I already removed the share function, why are you putting this garbage in my face that is now UNMODIFIABLE?

4. I don't want to install an app for any website.

There's so many little things like this that make using this browser even more annoying every single week. Again, none of this was a problem maybe a year or so ago, because Edge was the growing new thing as an alternative web browser. Just because there's a larger market share using the product now,doesn't mean users will continue to use a product that shoves useless and excessive functions onto its users by default.

That's the main thing. If all of this wasn't set by default, then I wouldn't be typing this. Except, just like every other month, there's a new stupid feature I never asked for automatically assigned in my address bar or toolbar or new tab screen. Not even the "--disable-features=msEdgeSendTabToSelf" function works to workaround this absolutely stupid design.

Firefox > Microsoft Edge. This is why people are attracted to Linux and Tor and alternatives. They don't actively go out of their way to disrespect the users attention and time.

Why would Microsoft edge doesn’t make their ui more simple like google? It’s hurting my eyes seeing it even if i just accidentally opened it

edge is the TRASH , istg its the worst thing ever seen ,

Microsoft Edge behaves like Chrome Browser 8 years ago. One badly programmed website in single tab can stop or crash the whole browser. They should invest more money in basic browser features then useless add-ons.

Get that abomination out of Edge https://imgur.com/gallery/JzNQrMB

it honestly feels like a 15 percent chance of a crash whenever i open a new link what is this spaghetti code dog shit isn't microsoft a billion dollar company

Is there a dev channel I can reach? Any time I have more than ~11 tabs the close tab button disappears from all of my inactive tabs. This is real infuriating and should be easy to fix.
