Windows 10 S is only for cheap computers and people who can't afford a computer that can run a real version of Windows. It's the same as Chrome so why wouldn't I use the real deal? Ultimately the new Edge won't make a difference. Apple hoards the excellent Siri on iPhones and Cortana is no more as a personal assistant. Instead, now we have the decidedly mediocre (compared to Cortana and Siri) Google Assistant on Android. The irony is that if Microsoft had allowed Google as an OPTION for Cortana users Microsoft may very well have prevented the rise of Google Assistant. But, Cortana was used to shove Bing down our throats. Now that Microsoft has simply given up and become a Google clone it will no longer be able to become "better than" Google. Microsoft's incompetence in 2015 allowed Google too much freedom to become the dominant browser. They may be able to regain some market share but the train has left the station. Why would I use Edge which is nothing more than a clone of Chrome? Chrome is too well integrated with the Google ecosystem. I'm too invested in the Google ecosystem. The 'new' Edge seems snappier and has all the commands in the right place (at least in my five minutes of browsing).
It was a slow, painful browser with a mediocre interface.
Thus, I showed Microsoft the middle finger and never used Edge or Cortana.ģ. Microsoft used Edge and Cortana to shove Bing down our throats. In solidarity with my habit I never used Edge. It's possible to COMPLETELY obliterate Bing as a search engine. Guess what? 30 minutes later after realized that I wasted half an hour of my life on the latest click-bait "news" I would become frustrated and launch Chrome.Ģ. The moment you opened up the old Edge (and even the new Edge if you don't disable it) you were presented with click-bait advertising masquerading as news. I never used Edge because I found it was little more than a low quality click-bait "news" app. Sadly this isn't the default situation but at least it's possible now. Microsoft made the HIGHLY OBNOXIOUS news feed 100% optional and made it possible to hide it without having the possibility of having it accidentally re-appear if you click on the wrong link. It's as if Microsoft paid close attention to all my posts here on Windows Central a few years ago (yeah, right but a guy can dream)! That said, will the changes be enough to bring people (including me) back to Edge? Will Edge still only ever be that application people are forced to use to download Chrome?ġ. Every single substantive complaint I had about Edge has been addressed. I just tried out the 'new' Edge and I've got to say I'm impressed.
