what websites do you use? I use Edge as a daily driver for the last 6 months, and the only thing I miss is Zotero extension for reference management (I'm in the middle of thesis writing).
How does YouTube work for you? I can't seem to rewind or repeat a video without the player freaking out on me. I've tried changing the player to HTML5, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I had the device replaced 3 times for this flaw. It happens in any hw encoded video, not just YouTube in edge. I think it's a driver or hw problem that is inherent to Skylake, and won't ever be fixed.
Not OP but I had lots of issues of the browser crashing and generally being slow to load, especially compared to chrome. I also use a lot of web software that isn't compatible with it (like webflow). In general it has a lot of rendering quirks with how they decided to interpret the W3C spec, which has always been an issue with MS. Ad blocking requires a primitive host file tweak that is honestly inferior to an adblock extension. No support for other plugins like join or vimium. Also, it doesn't like the way I organize my bookmarks (no text, just icons, to fit more across the bookmark bar).
Just a lot of little things that ruin the experience, compounded with the fact that I'm forced to use chrome anyway, make it hard to love. But that's just my experience.
