Windows 10 users - using edge? :)

You were bitching about Edge. And you were pushing Chrome. (I personally dislike Chrome) Wrong. Go back and read what I said. Aside, I use Firefox. My wife has Win10 so I put FF on it. Edge was messing with URLs I put on her desktop. I detest Chrome -- it lasted about two minutes when I did try it and I blew it off. Comprende? I agree with you and we are doing the same thing. If these people have problems with Windows 10 they should go to Windows Community for their problems and stop complaining here. In fact, nothing I wrote in this thread mentioned Chrome on my part. I was the first one to mention I used Chrome. Edge does not work for me with email so it is useless. Never tried Firefox so I cannot comment on it. I tried Chrome, liked it, just kept using it. Seems you and others did not have my luck with it. I use three computers on a regular basis, plus and Android phone. I like the fact that I have compatibility, saved passwords and calendar no matter where I am. What I don't like about Edge is that it does not switch to a new tab when I open it. I couldn't find anything in the settings to change the behavior of tabs. ヽ(ヅ)ノ [8~{} Uncle Tabbed Monster |

You can set your browser to whatever you want. Just because Edge comes with W-10 doesn't mean it can't be disabled. You misunderstood what I wrote. if a program has html instead of it's own actual executable code to render the graphical user interface, EDGE will render it for the program, without identifying itself as edge. It won't look like a web browser to you at all. It'll look like the programs authors intended for their GUI to look, instead. Windows 10, despite your efforts to 'disable' it also uses Edge to render some of the screens you see when you actually use the OS itself. It's one of the reasons you can't actually remove it. Windows 10 itself, uses it. You can elect not to surf the web with it, but, you can't really stop Windows 10 and some apps from using it to render their own GUIs. Just like win9x, etc etc etc used IE to render some of it's own screens, without appearing to look anything like IE while doing so. Am I explaining what I meant better? I just ran into an example of what Diesel is talking about. I went to print out a PDF file on a Win 10 system and it brought up a screen that I've seen before, hated, thought was difficult to use, but I never paid that much attention to it. This time, I realized it is in fact Edge, that it uses to view/print PDF files. I figured out how to change it, so that now it used Adobe Acrobat instead. But it is an example of how with the default settings, Edge is being used for things you would not expect. And it really sucks, because on the version of Edge that it brings up to view PDF, you can't even easily find where to print. So, that's an example of where I'm not using Edge for a browser, yet Win 10 default is to use it to view PDF. |

As I told another poster, I'm not here to mislead anyone or 'brag' about the things I know. As one individual once told me, "it's not bragging if you can back it up" Many people these days can 'build' a computer, load Windows, even load drivers without much/any hand holding. However...Not many people actually understand the inner workings, or the relationships between various pieces of code as it relates to other pieces of code, or the hardware they just assembled. IOW, There's 'techs' and then theres Techs... -- I would like to apologize for not having offended you yet. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. |
