As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

This has been an ie "feature" since forever, glad to see it lives on

haha, glad to see i'm not the only one. what a piece of poo poo

also when IE/Edge opens it just kind of freezes for a few seconds while it's trying to load the homepage. love a browser that forces me to sit and watch while others can just start typing after a few milliseconds.

does anyone at microsoft ever actually test the software?

if it ever becomes necessary to support Edge over standard-compliant browsers, Microsoft has burned ten million man hours

seeing how it is fewer clicks to install adblock in edge than to install chrome *and* install adblock in chrome there is literally no reason to not run edge on w10 for that reason alone

yeah, you should definitely use an adblocker that not only doens't block ads but makes you vote on which ads you like

I wouldn't recommend that, but luckily edge has both adblock and adblock plus, neither of which fail to block ads or make you vote on them.

skipping the acceptable ads thing is precisely one more click, so you come out ahead anyway

i rather like the acceptable ads program though, it would be neat if ad blockers could be a bit of a force punishing really annoying ads to a greater extent than ads in general. likely a lot of aspects to that thought i haven't thought through well enough however

I get reports from users about how this one particular thing doesn't work with Edge, every couple of weeks there's some dick whining, and my awesome job privilege is to tell them that we don't support Edge, and to use Chrome or Firefox or Safari, all of which work great.

Edge is 6% of our users right now.

Do you think Edge can wedge itself back into our loving support queue? because jesus christ if it does

this could be the most tragic post, trying to deal with an obviously horrible job by trying to find a feeling of power in telling people that you are actually powerless to do something that was likely largely irrelevant to them anyway

I tried using Edge because Chrome and FF are both resource hogs and Edge is supposed to be better

but it doesn't seem finished to me. Webm support isn't great, extensions won't work in private browsing mode, and I use FF's multi-search-engine all-purpose search-box thing so often that I really could not adjust to living without it. I'll circle back around to Edge in a year and see if it feels like a finished product by then.
