Microsoft Launches First Chromium Edge Builds (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft today released the first Edge builds based on Google's Chromium open source project, the same browser that Google's Chrome is based on. Microsoft is even adopting the same naming scheme that Google uses for Chrome development: It is debuting Canary (preview builds that will be updated daily) and Developer builds (preview builds that will be updated weekly) today. They can both be installed alongside the old Edge as well as each other. You can download these builds now from the Microsoft Edge Insider site.
Hello! I wish to register a complaint about a bird I bought in this very boutique not an hour ago!
What differentiates this from regular Chrome?
... when I can just install Chrome? ;)
With all the leaks ot Edge that occurred it is obvious that they are letting people have it officially after the cat was let out of the bag. If it wasn't for the leaks they would probably wait until //Build/ to release them. My opinion is the Edge isn't for Slashdottters who use Firefox or it's clones, it is for the people who still think the Blue E is the internet. Giving them a half decent browser is better than letting them still use Internet Explorer which hasn't had engine updates for over six years now. With Windows 7 looking to be widely in use after the official end of support date, having Edge available instead of of IE eases the pain of web developers. Getting Internet Explorer off the public internet and only being used in enterprise intranets should be a priority for the web.
So basically the same browser, only the telemetry is sent to Microsoft and Bing is the default search engine?
Oh boy, where do I sign up?

Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
It appears if you login with your microsoft account, it will sync your windows, microsoft, chrome, (maybe firefox) accounts, syncing your passwords, payment info, addresses to your microsoft account if you login in.
Mine loaded my chrome profile, then offered to "sync" it with my microsoft account.
I'm laughing at you. APK is laughing at you after his repost to run you DRY of your "downmodpoints" you abuse https://slashdot.org/comments....
...and how this will not?

Why would you want THIS https://www.bleepingcomputer.c... ?
* Browsers & even OS are being subverted to turn them into ADVERTISING/TRACKING machines...
Which I further expounded on here https://idle.slashdot.org/comm... & here as well https://idle.slashdot.org/comm...
As "evidences thereof" (just SOME examples, not complete).
(NO THANKS)
@ LEAST FIREFOX DOESN'T DO THAT & IF IT DOES YOU CAN TURN IT OFF EASILY per my 2 latter links!
APK
P.S.=> It's such bullshit - slowing you down, TRACKING & INFECTING YOU TOO via ads? Please... apk
No thank you. I stopped using Microsoft browsers years ago. The main reason was pages would continue to load after I clicked the stop button, and repeatedly clicked the stop button. Another reason around that time was they added the ability to change the colors of the scroll bars. The vendor my company used for an application changed the scroll bar colors so they blended into the page. The security issues were a minor issue.
Working for a vendor, I also was in a position where one of my jobs was to resolve issues with software Microsoft felt was good enough to ship. The problem was the software was not quite good enough to use. It was job security, but sometimes you just want the crap to work.
So no thank you Microsoft, what else you got?
.
Hahahahahahaha https://slashdot.org/comments.... APK runs you DRY of your abused downmodpoints.
I'm laughing @ you! So is all /. after my repost (again) to nullify your puny attempt @ censoring away my post https://slashdot.org/comments.... w/ your "downmodpoints" I'll exhaust you of your ABUSED "downmodpoints" as usual, inevitably, lol!

P.S.=> You ARE "smoking MY pole" chump, lol... apk
or you don't know what Chrome is and just click the icon on your desktop that goes to the Internet.
As for why you'd want what is basically a pre-release build? You're a web dev and need to test your application.

Does Edge still have proprietary software in it?
Go apologize to Cederic for demanding he post his name and address, and for directing implied threats of violence toward him. He did nothing to you to warrant that type of behavior. Nothing at all. He wasn't talking to you at all, then you threatened him.
Your obsession with consuming people's "downmodpoints" proves that you are, indeed, obsessed with Slashdot. You have no life beyond this site. You're 54 years old and live a sad, pathetic existence all alone in your $1 house.
At least show you have an ounce of decency by apologizing to Cederic. It's the least you could do.
Stop reposting your fucking horribly formatted spam, asshole. Are you seriously that much of a loser that you feel the need to repost your spam repeatedly until it doesn't get modded to -1? You have no job. You have no friends. All you have is this site, and you're obsessed with it. Go seek professional help for your narcissistic personality disorder. Then go fuck yourself.
I use Edge to play Netflix 4K videos. I wonder if this change breaks that capability.
You demanded Cederic post his name and address when he wasn't even talking to you or about you. You made implied threats of violence. Now you're spamming again relentlessly. You should demonstrate a tiny bit of decency and apologize to Cederic for being a total 100% asshole to him for no reason at all.
You are APK. These posts demonstrate you have multiple personality disorder in addition to your narcissistic personality disorder. Seek professional help before you actually become violent, like you implied you would do with Cederic.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP
Hohoho APK and /. laughs at your failing abused downmodpoint censorship and APK's repost https://slashdot.org/comments.... ran you DRY of your abused downmodpoints.
The exact same functionality as Chrome, only with the telemetry and security holes of IE.
You prove once again just how obsessed you are with Slashdot. Have you left the basement of your $1 house yet, today?
So you don't like APK and all /. laughing at you as APK ran you dry of downmodpoints abused for censorship https://slashdot.org/comments.... ? Hahahaha.
Too much of a chickenshit to sign your posts, APK? Have you apologized to Cederic yet, you asshole?
APK proves he and all /. laugh @ you as APK ran you DRY of your downmodpoints you abuse for censorship https://slashdot.org/comments....

Chalk up another release of a Chrome clone. Don't get to excited folks Microsoft won't be delivering anything special here. In fact the abandonment of EdgeHTML engine for the browser means Microsoft cares way less about the browser built into Windows. Sure, they want to provide a good default browser for Windows users. But its now become less of a burden for Microsoft to develop it. I suppose for many having the stability of Chrome without the Google stuff may be attractive for some. At least Microsoft is hoping so.

The comments you linked to are of Cederic discussing his difficulties managing his weight. They don't justify you demanding he post his real name and address. You clearly are stalking Cederic, proving just how deranged you are. There is no justifiable reason why Cederic should post his name and address because a loser internet tough guy (you) demands it. You have serious mental health problems and should be placed in a mental health institution.

Cederic's difficulties managing his weight don't justify your abusive behavior. This shows once again that you've been stalking Cederic and that you're deranged. You're a danger to yourself and others. And yes, your comment does contain an implied threat.

Go get cured of your narcissistic personality disorder, multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, and your other mental illnesses. Until then, you're a hypocrite to criticize Cederic. At least he's trying to manage his health issues. You, however, refuse to admit your blatantly obvious mental health issues.

Sensitive Cederic the fat retard plays victim again? Hohohoho!
Microsoft is embracing Chrome so much that they're even adopting their user agent string. The market share for IE/Edge will jump from 6.1% to 69.7% overnight!
I would call Microsoft a lot. But none of those words would ever be "trustworthy".
They'd win a sell-your-mother-for-dime contest with Goldman Sachs. Not on speed of sale, but in nastiness of client.
Google is the new Microsofr in that aspect. For some "strange" reason, Chrome always has these little changes that by pure chance always happen to break everything, and those changes fluctuate so fast, that nobody but them can keep up.
And of course if you obey the standards (which mutate like crazy too), it breaks in Chrome. Whoops. Totally not deliberate.
Only Google's own employees admitting to it, before being pressured back in line, and Opera, Mozilla and MS complaining about it.
Man am I happy that I abandoned "the web" as a development platform. ... inside a shitty VM ... inside a browser ... inside a OS ... inside hardware, the I can aswell just treat it as such and write real programs in the first place. Only will I write them for proper OSes, and have some legacy compatibility layer run it on what I now call the legacy WWW OS (HTML5).
If it wants to be a shitty OS
I, for one, welcome our new Microsoft Chromium Edgelords!
Breakfast served all day!
u r antisemitc !!!
I have been using the Edge based on Chromium for a since yesterday morning.
Edge now allows you to import your bookmarks and cookies from Chrome.
Transitioning to the new version of Edge is easy.
Functionally, the two browsers seem similar.
When I searched for a method to change the default search engine, several web sites mentioned that it was not possible with the current Edge developer build as of yesterday morning.
I just searched for and found some instructions for changing the default search engine, that I may try tomorrow.
The Edge Chromium browser does appear to work with Gmail and other Google apps.
The only difference I noticed was that for the Developer build of Edge Chromium, the color scheme is very bland without much contrast.
I only just installed it, but the new browser seems to be missing all the features that made Edge my default browser. No inking support. No tab groups. No translate button in the address bar. No built-in reading mode.
Sigh. I hope this gets better.
