Trying out Microsoft Edge browser

Hey stop throwing stuff at me. I just did it because I read somewhere that it has native 1080p resolution or something for streaming while all the other browsers don't, so I thought I'd give it a run. Really I'm not all that resolution savvy on the technical side, so I don't know if it's true or a relevant spec or am able to really tell the difference or anything. I just thought I'd try it. Only opening up streaming pages for the most part, from Netflix to Hulu to Youtube, and on.

Across Hulu and Netflix, this browser hits a number of duds regularly when trying to load pages and then videos. Plays them fine the way through, but getting into it is weirdly difficult.

Just funny that Microsoft exploits your $200 software to advertise the browser in an update, like:

And really the first sign of trouble is pretty much why everybody gets a third party browser.

Linux and ReactOS for the win. As far as I'm concerned, Bill Gates and everyone at Megalosoft can get spit roasted by demons for all eternity.
