I use it a lot. I started using it when I first got my Windows 10 computer. Of course now it can be used on Windows 7 and 8 & 8.1 too.

My default browser is still Firefox but I use EDGE quite often and I like it a lot. It is fast for sure,doesn't have the large number of extensions available like other browsers but then I don't use very many anyway. The one I use on all my browsers, AdBlockPlus IS available for Edge and works great.

I also have used Edge since I installed W 10 and really like it. And there are times I use Fire Fox..

This is just one of many sites I've checked.

Since I truly do not like Chrome or Bing at all if I am forced to take this new version it is likely I will stop using it.

This is a very good article about the new Edge www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsofts-new-edge-browser-released-what-you-need-to-know/
For anyone not wanting it to auto download there is a blocking tool from Microsoft included.
I already have new Edge on my iphone and iPad. I will be putting it on my computer as well.
Firefox is currently my main pc browser with the old Edge second. I shall decide which to go with when I have used the new Edge for a while.
