Welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insiders community
What have you done to the UI? Are you planning on actually implementing any fluent elements? One of the best parts of Edge was the UI and you have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Currently it is a slightly slower, slightly more confusing chrome and I see no reason to actually use it over chrome.
Mace242 Yes it should get Fluent design elements with XAML Islands but that is completely my speculation... We don't know yet since this is an preview mostly for devs to test their sites to see if they work better but we should see some new consumer features soon.
Mace242 I have to disagree with you on the speed. I'm finding sites are loading faster in Edge Dev than in chrome. Even Google sites like gmail are faster and smoother.
"Even Google sites like gmail are faster and smoother. "
That's really because you're essentially using Chrome and those sites are optimised for it. If you do a totally clean install of Chrome with no extensions - as I suspect you are running new Edge - then I bet Chrome will be the same. With the new Edge what we're seeing is not Edge with a new engine. It's jsut a rebuild of the chromium source. Compare it with something that is the same - such as Brave - and you'll see that new Edge simply isn't unique - or even new.
