    Found this new browser.

    ITs stable, loads cached data faster, uses less memory compared to chrome (for my windows 10 OS 16 gb ram and i7)

    It has cool features as well. For example:

    You can split the tabs in half and show two tabs at once without having to seperate the tab from browser and have second window. (Great if you dual screen as you can manage everything as one window with two screens).

    Has a side tab for Shortcuts to Email, downloads, bookmarks ETC and you can hide it anytime.

    Its called vivaldi. I like it better than firefox and chrome so far. But I don't know if its as customizable.

    Microsoft edge is possibly the best browser you can get

    It's fast, does not use as much RAM as other browsers and you can get support from microsoft constantly unlike google, and having an adblock is not that a big deal. The browser has been out for only a month, give it a time to improve. 60% of the softwares I had won't run on my windows 10 but does it make a bad version for windows?

    Chrome is fast too and i'd rather have adblock than lower RAM usage. Support? Never had problems with chrome so I don't really need that.

    Yea. I'm using this new browser for things like YouTube, this forum and other things that could benefit from the speed of this browser but I still use chrome for websites I go through during Google searches and torrent sites to prevent the countless popups.

    I enjoyed edge but its not something I would over glorify yet. Its feels like a redesigned IE

    waterfox for me...i dunno why people still using chrome? is it really that fast? or just because you have good connection? it eats up RAM, and on places with not that good connection, its useless unlike firefox, even the primitive internet connection in southeast asia, firefox still delivers while chrome, uhm useless

    My connection is fast enough and I don't really see a big difference between chrome and other browsers. RAM usage isn't that important either, ofc its better when its lower but it doesn't really matter for me. Not to mention all the add-ons I can get on chrome.

    Edge started lagging up like crazy for me if it was to load more than a few embedded items on the same page, a scenario which Chrome handles just fine.

    MS Edge is still new. Saw/read a benchmark vs Opera, Chrome and Firefox, it barely came on top of any of them in most of the tests. I think the one it definitely blew the rest outta the water in is start up lmao. However, being bound to windows 10 is one of the downfalls of it but whatever. Hopefully in the future it can get better.

    Also.... I'm getting that Vivaldi. I'm a sucker for benching new software.

    Vivaldi could look promising. But considering it's based on Opera, I'm not so sure if any security flaws of Opera will affect Vivaldi as well.

    You must feel very edgy, don't you?
    Personally, I get cancer everytime someone recommends Win10 OR Microsoft Edge.

    First, while a little offtopic, addressing some issues of Win10:
    • phones home aka SPIES ON YOU (botnet properties ftw)
    • no information about Win10 updates and no ability to turn updates off
      • which may break your OS if they fuck up (which they most likely will)
    • may break your hardware after upgrading (multiple reports, just google)
    • no control over OS features
    • no service packs means it's always in a buggy beta-phase
      • kinda similar to this private server in a way, ironic
      • #rekt
    • ugly inconsistent UI
    • Windows 2000 looked literally better than Windows 10 15 years later
    • uses your internet connection to update other Win10 users without your consent
    • WiFi sense, which enables others access to your WiFi as long as you have them as a contact
    I guess these points make it a bad OS. Everything being fast is because you don't have bloatware installed yet. It's the same Spiel with every new installation of Windows. The same can be said about MS Edge as it is fairly new and doesn't have extensions bloating it up. It's naturally faster. Give it some hotfixes and it will become obsolete.

    It handles saved cache way better than many browsers.

    I was alittle out of ease as well when windows 10 came out. I do admit, I had some issues with it when I installed it for first time. (My computer still thought it was win 7 so it was using windows 7 settings so it was causing issues with drivers and the registry). After a clean install, it is easily going to be better than Windows 7. Its like a mix between Windows 7 and 8 without the annoying bugs and features windows 8 had.

    The UI doesn't really bother me and of course it has no Service packs yet as it is still new.

    The Internet Features you explained don't bother me since I have no Contacts connected to my Windows 10 account. (I created a seperate account for it) I don't have to worry about unauthorized users.

    Edge is not too bad, much better than IE and looks like it is in the right path of success.

    Windows XP will always be my favorite OS of all time and Windows 7 is still my current favoriate Modern OS but I can see windows 10 being my favorite after a few patches.

    All I need a product key lol. I still have an unactivated windows version and I don't want to wipe my computer to install a cracked version.
