An anonymous reader writes: At its Build 2015 developer conference today, Microsoft announced Project Spartan will be called Microsoft Edge. Joe Belfiore, Microsoft's corporate vice president of the operating systems group, announced the news on stage, adding that Edge will have support for extensions. Edge is Microsoft's new browser shipping on all Windows 10 devices (PCs, tablets, smartphones, and so on). Belfiore explained the name as referring to "being on the edge of consuming and creating."

Well, these last days our Windows support has made Google inaccessible (peer disconnected all the time). Maybe they think they're protecting our privacy. How sweet!
No other search site worked,except one... guess which was the only search still working?
Yes, Bing. Which I then used to search for other search pages.
You can say whatever about Google, and it will probably be true; but I'll take loss of privacy any day over being manipulated like sheep, thank you.
