Spoiler alert, it sucks aids infected prison dick. Anyone else give it a try and have any success..at all?

I tried to post things and get long spelling error alerts below whole sentences and paragraphs. Posting pictures was a bitch, and it kept locking up and crashing web pages.

Anyone else got any recommendations on the other "new" browsers.

I found it fast and responsive, but it lacks a lot of features that I like. I'll stick with Chrome.

Chrome or Firefox.

Das it.

Their market share has them squarely between Safari and Opera

Opera actually works for me.

I have tried Sea Monkey, Vivaldi, Water Fox, Torch, even Palemoon. Most are iffy performance wise. Anyone else try them and getting any good results.

I use and like it, after I updated to Win 10 firefox decided to troll me. Have chrome installed but rarely use it.

I use a Razer Blade(yes,yes that is a real laptop) so anything will run very well lol

Both my computers sux azz so that may be my problem...but like I said Firefox and Opera work when I do not have 140 open windows. Edge chokes on a single window is .........fairly..............slow..........to.........respond........it........might......be......a......latency issue but all my other stuff work better with multiple windows open.

Edit...I just googled Razzor...I hate you......I really hate you.

But serious no 10 key pad?

youtube does not work well with edge. I have to refresh the page a few times before the video plays.

besides that, edge works good enough.

It works fine for me although I don't visit or use any type of multimedia or streaming heavy sites like GD's Porno Pirate brigade. I suspect it's not as well-behaved under that kind of use as Chrome. Works great for VSphere Web Client and other UI's that occupy a lot of my time these days.

Edge hates the shit out of Breitbart and it has got no love for Arfcom either.

I'd use it if they had extensions but... they don't.

Things I look for in a web browser:

1. Does it religiously adhere to published standards?
2. Does the page it's rendering rigorously adhere to those standards, referenced in #1? If not (and this is likely), how does it render them as a failsafe?
3. What kinds of plugins/add-ons are available?
4. Related to #3, how easy are they to develop?
5. Related to #4, how secure are they when the developer is a bit sloppy?
