I liked it and they decided to kill it... ^^¡
I think the new one can do it (in fact is like Chrome with everything placed where Microsoft would put it) with a couple of good additions...
The day they replaced the graphical representation of the form controls (only visible thing that I could notice) the browser started to become slower.
Who knows if they will make it better once it goes out of beta...

Beta to release is usually when they work on performance
And they have lots of test suite available...
And they better perform if they want to gain traction!

Maybe you're time tracker should count up the number of seconds it takes to load, so you can see how much time you've lost at the end of a year.

How do Chrome and Firefox compare?
Maybe Edge will become faster once it's out of beta?

Seems like Win 10 updates are a risk these days. Amyone updating? Or should I wait?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

To be fair, it's a minority of my systems that run into these sorts of problems.
OTOH, it's still a little disconcerting when my Server 2019 VM started exhibiting update problems so soon after that was still a recent, full, and clean install...running on their own hypervisor, so the physical hardware is abstracted away...

Tobe honest - with a week experience of W10, updates seem to me the smallest problem...

I'm not aware of any "large font" problem. That's a user choice.
I have a 4K display, and refuse to rescale the UI "because I have the pixels to spare". No, I want to run it at its native resolution, otherwise I'm just wasting screen real-estate (using up to twice as many pixels to render the same amount of data). Across 40", the text is actually smaller than it is on the 27" 1080p monitor I have sitting next to it.
Or are you talking about something else altogether?

I have weak eyes and with those high resolution monitors the normal font size is way too small... So I use 125%...
And if you Google for Windows 10 DPI you will see what I have here...
One of the fascinating things, that if I create a brand new WinForm application (using latest VS2019) it looks perfect in the designer (assuming I have configured VS compatibility mode correctly) but blurred when running... So I either have to set the exe's compatibility or change the form's properties in VS...
An other one is that IIS manager seems to be immune to any configuration I threw at it...

So how is this font sizing thing not a problem with previous versions of Windows?
As far as I can tell, you had some options in 7, but it's only in recent versions that MS has made significantly more efforts to present additional options.
Bottom line...what I'm trying to say is that by default, 10's fonts aren't any larger or smaller than previous versions, but at least 10 presents plenty of options to do anything about it.

100%, 150%, and 200% work on W10
125% exists as an option but is broken, a similar effect can be reached by taking off your glasses (if you need them) or looking through fog. It used to work on 7 (maybe?) and 8 (definitely), and that old way of "actually working" can be resurrected with some weird 3rd party program that applies a registry setting at boot (Windows really likes to un-apply the setting).

Microsoft introduced (with W8) a new method to work with DPI - they call it High DPI. It targets high resolution monitors and became the default method in W10...
So older software - and that includes software from Microsoft - will display blurred fonts (fonts only not any other graphics) when picking larger font size... And now you have to tell to Windows about each and every software not to use the new method, but fall back to the original...
As one use W10 for work only I have no gain from this High DPI method - which should be spectacular fro games and video - but I can't turn it off only software-by-software...

Well...all I can say is that I'm not using any custom resizing or fiddle with per-app settings, and use each of my monitors' native resolution...and everything looks fine on all of them. Although I do keep hearing about some of the things you mention. If I had to guess, I'd say it all starts to surface once you start customizing things.

For some reason, the last one that got pushed at work turned off my numlock on start. It's confusing, and mildly infuriating.

Warning: Another Windows Update rant.
I've had a Windows Server 2019 VM refuse to install updates for quite a while now. Since today's patch Tuesday, figured I'd try to dig a little more into it since I'm going to be looking at that machine again sooner or later.
MS has made it clear for a while now that, with Cumulative Updates, you can take a brand new OS install, and immediately bring everything up to date just by installing the latest available Cumulative Update. Since this particular VM refuses to install the latest CU for Server 2019 (KB4522355, which came out October 24th) directly from my WSUS server, I figured I'd download the offline installer, and run that locally (more often than not this solves this type of problem).
Nope, "this update is not applicable to your computer". Tried many things, no change.
On a hunch, I tracked down the CU prior to that one--from October 8th (KB4519338). That one didn't complain, and is now in the process of being installed (as I'm writing this).
If these CUs are truly "cumulative", why does the newer one insist it's not applicable...? Windows Update itself insisted I needed it...

Yes...
I'm sure there's a policy somewhere that dictates that behavior...but as with all policies...the trick part is finding it...
