Microsoft's Edge Browser Coming to iPhone With 'Continue on PC' Feature

[SigEp265]

If it adds ad-block as well ... I am all for it.

I would like for someone to explain why Edge is bad. I use it on Windows 10 and I like it a lot better than the slow and memory hog Chrome has become. Edge, in comparison, is quick and has all the features I want easily accessible. It renders the sites I visit just fine and I can load it with tabs and not have a problem on my slower i3 laptop.

I enabled the dark mode, set my default search engine to google, installed Adblock and honestly - I’m really happy with it. In fact, I wish Edge would come to macOS.

Wouldn’t touch edge on Windows 10 why would I want it on my phone ?

Edge. The worst browser since IE. Truly, truly awful!

Those two people who use Edge are going to be happy though

If two people are using Edge, then only one is using Safari. lol

It's typical fanboys bashing at MS automatically without using one.

This would be useful at work, I can bring something up on my PC then transfer to my iPhone when I go into a meeting or something. Except Edge doesn't work on my PC, a Windows update a while back broke it, I spent 30mins trying to fix it, but then just decided to go back to Firefox.

Eww who wants a Microsoft browser on a non windows machine?

However it's pretty interesting to see a Microsoft browser in an Apple device again.

There are a gazillion browsers for iOS. I don't care.

I need a browser on the watch, like Opera Mini was on my RAZR twelve years ago.

What's that old saying? "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

I know we're going for the easy "likes" here, folks, but please don't embarrass yourselves. Microsoft Edge is to Windows as Apple's Safari is to Mac. If you prefer Firefox, you download it, but many of us are quite content with the default Safari/Edge browsers and their integration with the OS. (And that don't make us sheep, neither!)

Don't fall too hard off your high horses.

The difference of course being that Safari is far, far more powerful, especially for developers, runs faster, and uses less battery than Edge. It also has a far larger selection of extensions.

I am writing this from Edge on Windows 10 at work. I hate it.

Microsoft stated recently that over 300m people use Edge. Hardly just two people.

That's true. Also 300m people use bing!

- Open Edge
- goto bing
- type download chrome

Chrome is used from now on!

Technically they have used it! Statistics are great

It's not. It's useless.

In my enviroment where I work, over half the websites we need to use either do not function correctly or even load with Edge. 90% work with IE and all except about 2 sites with Chrome.

Edge - Garbage
IE - Junk

To replace junk with garbage, there will always be issues!

Did I say I was an Edge fan? No. Have I used it? Yes. (Disclaimer: I use Safari on a Mac.) Please read my original post more carefully, and don't ascribe words to other people that they never said. It either means one cannot parse the English language properly, or one is intentionally trying to misrepresent what someone else is saying. Neither option speaks well of the user.

I am much more concerned with the popular spirit of derision I observe people often cop toward things, people and places that they've never used, met or visited [than I am about a particular web-browser]. I don't give a rat's behind if you use Edge, Safari, Firefox, Netscape, IE or the Encyclopedia Britannica. But it bothers me, on an ethical and philosophical level, that people vouchsafe opinions online, and in the real-world, that they have no business doing.

You find a bunch of people who simply enjoy making smart-ass remarks with nothing to back them up. As a cultural phenomena, that needs to stop.

I don’t mind Edge, it’s the default browser on our laptops at work and we can’t change it, but there’s many work sites it doesn’t work well with so they’ve set up redirect to internet explorer... why they won’t let us just set IE as the default I don’t know

They said over 300m monthly active users. So, no.

haha

It takes about a month to go to the site you want.

- Open Edge
- goto bing
- type download chrome ...error

(i'll try tomorrow)

- Open Edge
- goto bing
- type download chrome ...error ... not again

(repeat!)
