#6  My problem with IE was always its proprietary DOM. I've avoided Edge so far, being an exclusively Linux user. Edge users will have to let me know when the problems start showing up, since I don't test on it.

#4  I'm guessing 'slicker' is in relation to IE, not Chrome

Edge is somewhat just Chrome reskinned for MS. It uses the same Blink web engine as Chrome and all other Chromium-based browsers.

it will be nice to have MS bundling a modern browser that has rolling updates like every other browser in existence.

I'll stick with TOR and etc., for better privacy and security.

Edge & Chrome want way too much system / file access and control for me to get a Warm and Fuzzy.

#2  Edge is actually fantastically fast. Like opera used to be. Firefox has become a bloated nuisance.
