    Bob_j5 I completely agree. I loved the clean, no-nonsense appearance of old Edge. I'm loving the work to date on Edge C , but there's nothing about it that says to me that I'm using Microsoft Edge. I obviously wouldn't sacrifice functionality and stability for appearance (otherwise I would have continued with old Edge), but old Edge had a strong sense of identity that was markedly different from the generic chromium (i.e. rounded) look of Firefox and Google Chrome.

     

    I assume that it wouldn't be a problem to have the old Edge look on Edge C by the time it comes out testing Elliot Kirk ?

      Yes, Pete & another part, maybe a small example is, sure, one may add extensions, but, we prefer OUR stuff, such as Mouse Gestures.  We like what OUR store offers.

      If we liked & wanted Chrome & Google we'd, already, be using them. 

      Many of us like panels or flyouts such that we are still or stay immersed in & able to see the page or site in use, prefer that approach not, changing to a different page.

      Yes, there are Edge Features that must be kept (Set aside, Add notes, Share, Pin to taskbar, et al) but, it's, also, a matter of approach (to things), the MO & style needing to be respected, as well.

      Cheers,
      Drew

        I went to FF and Chrome until Edge came along. When Edge arrived, I switched to it and have stayed with it, except for the sites that didn't support Edge's standards and couldn't be displayed properly. I really hope that Elliot Kirk and his team take this seriously--that Edge users want Edge that is compatible with the Web, and NOT Chrome renamed Edge.
