I had some hope for Edge, thought they would at least copy Firefox or something lol. Yeah Edge was laggin this longer youtube video I was watching, was ridiculous. Im on 50 meg connection and decent enough computer, and didnt have the problem in Firefox on the same video, so thats pritty lame on Microsofts part. Seriously is it that hard to build a decent browser lol.

On to Windows 10, I LOVE IT. I play this game, Mechwarrior Online. On Windows 7 I would notice micro-lags for a split second where I would drop fps to the low teens, and would make the game studder a couple times in a match. Windows 10 has solved that problem, completely getting rid of the drops in performance, steadily maintaining 35-45 fps. Windows 10 boots up so fast thats its not even worth getting an ssd, and im not sure many people realize that our new SATA III 2-4tb drives are running faster than the old 10,000rpm Raptors.

I did have one problem with the drivers and windows update. It would keep downloading a botched sound driver, I ended up having to download that new Tool where u can hide updates to get rid of it. Easy fix, and im giving Windows 10 two thumbs up.
 
Edge is a nice browser, but even IE11 in Windows 10 is improved. Edge still has a way to go though.
 
They should have made IE11 the default in Windows 10 and made Edge optional since it just ain't ready for prime-time yet. It has quite a ways to go to make it really useful by comparison with IE11 which has had many years to mature.

I get what they're aiming for but, unfortunately, they missed the mark by a wide margin IMO.
 
I will give a meaningful fuck about Edge once addon support is functional.

And it doesn't cap at 60 fps on my 120hz monitor...
 
The biggest problem I've had with Edge which was obvious in the Insider builds is its CPU usage over time. Invariably after a while it starts to consume more and more CPU and the problem is obvious on my Surface Pro 3 because the fans would spin up and become very audible especially during the early builds. It's seems to have gotten better over time and it looks to have been addressed very well in yesterdays patch. Since yesterday it's almost gone away. There's still some sites that after while will start to eat the CPU, just noticed YouTube doing it and as soon as I closed that tab the CPU spun down.

But as far as performance and video playback it's been nearly flawless on all of my devices, even my HP Stream 7. I which it had a full screen mode and navigation swipes like modern IE 11, that in combination with extension support would make it the best touch browser on the market.
 
BTW, nothing to do with Edge but for YouTube check out Hyper for YouTube. Very nice for both desktops and tablets.
 
Edge works just fine for YT on my Dell Venue 11 Pro... Maybe OP needs better hardware? :p
 
Edge is fine except for addon support. Was a shock to surf the web without adblock and noscript running. You want speed - turn the damn ads off! :D

Other than that one glaring omission - I kind of like it. With proper add on support I might actually consider making it the default.
 
Works fine for me on my laptop. Still haven't got around to installing it at home, pita.
