It is a great browser, however I just hate that input box for URL address doesn't appear when edge is first opened. It is extremely annoying to have to click to get the input. Not sure what was the UX team thinking.

Yeah, I like Edge also, but it is annoying and you can hardly tell if you're typing the URL in or what is going on. Quite a confusing interface.

Got that on IE and Edge too.

You don't say.........but they are pretty crap implementations (haven't dug deep into Edge yet, however)

Not in my experience, they've got everything that Chrome has.
But hey, go ahead and ignore reality and spout stuff based on your biases rather than experience and reality.

I have merely spouted my opinion based on my experience of using IE and Chrome dev tools, I did make it clear I haven't dug deep into Edge yet.
Maybe have to one day (if I ever find the time) update my article to reflect changes in newer versions: Beginner Guide to Page and Script Debugging with Chrome[^]
How can I be ignoring reality? How can it be bias? It is purely MY opinion.....
sheesh.....must have touched a nerve somewhere......
Have a nice day now.

Sorry, I guess I'm getting sick of people in general being over-influenced by over-hyped opinions of others and also giving negative past experiences too much weight and not giving new versions a real chance.

I hate to say it, but I think Edge's tools are possibly better (at least in some ways) than Chrome. Chrome's good, but I find Edge's emulation nicer than Chrome (through Chrome seems to have upped the ante a little in that department, too).

I'll have to take it for a spin next time i'm digging into something and see how it gets on.
I had a brief look at it last night, but regardless of functionality, it isn't very pretty.....imho

Browser preference is purely subjective. Use whatever works best for you.

The "problem" comes when you're a web dev and want/need to support multiple browsers with bugs... **sigh**

If I were a drinking man, then I suppose so. But then I suppose not much would get done either...

That's true, but I've got the impression that the subjective part on this is very biased and still affected by a lot of prejudice from the past. I claim that a lot of people only use Chrome because it's just was everybody else around is using and claiming is better (the same goes for Firefox some years ago, with the difference that Firefox undoubtedly was better at the time) no matter how much that's based on actual facts. On the other hand, most of those people never thought about giving IE a second chance, no matter how much it improved after IE9. Preference is purely subjective, but especially in this case it's not free from outside influences.
Now maybe Edge's problem could be as simple as its icon. It clearly reminds of IE, and people recognize the blue E as being IE and not a completely different browser. Hence they ignore it.

Well, my personal preference is Firefox. For me it has superior usability and features. The subjective part is the weight others attach to what I deem to be usability and features. I use quite a few extensions. The extensions ecosystem and capabilities are greater in Firefox. But many don't care for extensions, so then other considerations may come into play. That's why I say it's subjective.
I do typically have four browsers installed on my home and work desktops. The other three being IE, Chrome and Firefox. So I like to think I'm aware of what other browsers have to offer but, thus far, I still prefer Firefox.
At work I mostly debug from Visual Studio into Chrome, mainly because that's what most people use. It's dev tools are also pretty good (although I rarely need to use them in current dev project). But I mostly browse with Firefox.

Research shows that a number of top-level domains are almost exclusively used for malicious purposes. I hear those .com sites have a lot of nasty stuff in them

Yeah and you should see em!

I'm shocked, shocked, to discover the most recent round of .com killers have been as big a failure as every other round before them were. .biz or .info anyone?

The disconnect between software developers and IT security teams has lead to widespread application vulnerabilities. Yes, it's your fault that Bob in accounting clicked that link in the email from "The Bank"

Blame PMs, blame Agile!
I have seen a few problems that lead to a disconnect between teams that lead to vulurabilities. Firstly, our security team seems to be focused only on the network and have no idea about user authentication. For example, on a legacy Intranet site we have, it is authenticates users with Windows Authentication. Well he didn't know what that was and I said, it is just a domain account. Also, security, infrastructure, database, and application groups don't design an architecture together to thwart attacks; they tend to stay in their little silos. And lastly, I'm going to blame Agile. Agile ignores the architecture, database, and security design disciplines that more iterative processes stress and instead pushes forward before a strong architecture is designed and ready to develop on.

If it's all Agile's fault, how come so many issues come from older software (OpenSSL springs to mind) created before Agile took off).
