This SI Board ... Back in February I downloaded and installed Microsoft's New Chromium Edge browser noting that I planned to use it as a secondary browser instead of IE with Mozilla's Firefox as my default. While it is not yet as robust or as customizable as Firefox (or Google's Chrome) it is very promising and likely to remain my secondary browser permanently and I'll probably get considerably more usage out of than my prior secondary browser or any other I've tried in recent years. It does have several features I like including 'Collections' and the capability to load several frequently used sites I use or follow on Edge startup including my LastPass Vault, AdBlock Plus and SI and Silicon Investor. Initially I used the New Edge very sparingly only loading a single extension (LastPass). In the last several weeks I've imported my Firefox bookmarks, added some other extensions I use in Firefox as well as some new ones and started to customize it to my taste. I'm a highly satisfied long time user of Firefox as well as Thunderbird and SeaMonkey and the MozBackup utility. I started using Firefox 16 years ago this month while it was still in Beta at v0.9x and it became my primary browser replacing IE 6.x a month later. I founded the SI Firefox subject board in October 2004 while it was still in Beta and a month later on November 09, 2004 Firefox 1.0 32-bit was formally released. It is currently at v 78.0.1 (64-bit) with a comparable 32-bit version also available. My next post to this board will provide a brief overview of Firefox history and current usage stats. I'll post here occasionally and hope others will do so and share there positive or negative experiences with it as well as providing troubleshooting assistance to any users that experience Edge issues or that have questions about Edge. If any individual already firmly committed to Edge would like to assume responsibility for moderating this board they can PM me and I will arrange with SI Ron or SI Dimity to transfer responsibility. In the interim I'll likely make some comparisons of Edge to Firefox, post links to Edge articles, reviews or content. Best to all, - Eric L. -
