CodeProject forums definitely look better in Edge. The higher contrast I was referring to really shines on fonts that don't have jaggy issues. But look at these examples:
Edge vs Chrome
Chrome's rendering always looks good, just sometimes with a bit less contrast. Edge's always has more contrast with harder edges but as a result it sometimes like like ass with much more aliasing. It's extremely noticeable in places where it happens, like the Facebook example above. The Edge rendering is extremely harsh.

Now that you point out that example (and having looked at a few more websites too), I totally agree. Oh well, that's two strikes against Edge for me now - Chrome it is (for now, at least!)...

Chrome is still my go to browser for web development. However, there's no denying that it is very resource hungry. It's smooth, it's nice, it's elegant but after couple of different windows with multiple tabs, it tends to slow down my computer! 
Which is why, I only use it for development only. My go to browser for all the other cases is the new Opera dev (with vpn) or FireFox dev. I use edge occasionally for office use only. Haven't yet tried the Creator's Update. Looking forward to it after your comment.

I can never seem to get into Opera but last time I tried it was probably a couple years ago. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime soon.

The new Opera is actually built on chromium so the effect is like Chrome however, the performance is fast. Plus, it also offers free vpn service in its developer edition, if you're interested.

i think vpn is built in to all (new) versions now. clicky in the address bar.

Even if it really is, their dirty "safer than chrome" ads aren't building any confidence in me.
|
|

Yeah definitely playing dirty a bit in their marketing. Google should launch a counter-campaign with a screenshot of the MS ad next to the results from the last Pwn2Own competition

Yes I do think so too. With features like restore tabs, it's becoming better and it was more responsive since it came out. But still it supports less extensions than chrome and debugging web apps still needs work. So, it will be some time till I make the switch

Until there's an ad-blocker available for Edge it's useless to me.
|
|
|
|
|
There are ad blockers for Edge. Try searching "Ad Block" on Windows Store.
|
|
|
|
|
Hmm... I don't use the Windows Store, and don't imagine I ever will but here is an Open Source ad-blocker
https://www.edgeadblock.com/
I may give Edge another try. I liked it back when I first tried it but back then there was no ad-blocker and I just can't surf the web without an ad-blocker.

I uninstalled all UWP apps myself, other than Windows Store. It allowed me to install Edge extensions, and buy movies in few clicks.

I have FireFox, Chrome, and Opera on my laptop.
FireFox is a resource hog, easily taking more than 500MB RAM even though I only open one or two tabs.
Chrome may seem to be using a few resource on the surface, but it spawns tonnes of child processes in the background.
These browsers also become clunkier and clunkier with each update.
I ended up using Opera for now. It has built in ads block, and it has free proxy to bypass blockade.
Edge's scrolling is much more responsive and fast compared to all three, but it's still lacking in feature for now.

If seagulls lived by the bay would we call them bagels?

If people named them as such, would they be gullibles?

And if they lived on mountains, we'd call them eagles.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That would confuse the terns, they wouldn't know which way to go.
...and then what would you call them?

I was thinking interns or externs - depending on if their feet were wet. (how else to tell them apart?)

Cominterns if they are like Marx.
