A Curiosity Poll - Participation Welcomed!

I reckon a wee survey will be interesting & a bit of fun to see the results.  Maybe y'all will find it intriguing & enlightening. Keep the following in mind while answering:

>> NEW Edge is in early stages
>> Currently, NEW Edge is sans some Edge items. Allegedly, they are coming.

Poll:

A. I like NEW Edge
B. I do not like NEW edge
C. Will go from Edge to New Edge.
D. I am going to NEW Edge from ______ browser
E. I will stick with _______ browser

Respond with the letter(s) applicable to you.  For example, my answer would be A & C.  IF you pick D or E, please, also, state what OS would go in the blank.

I will try to keep a running tally (for y'all) over & after a few days.  That is, if, there is enough enthusiasm & participation

Personal sub-note... I like it, except, for ellipsis items going full page. πŸ™ing we stay with fly-out panels like Edge 🀞🀞🀞🀞🀞

Cheers,
Drew

    It would be "A". I like the new Edge a lot. I have already switched from old Edge to Canary Edge. I had originally used IE as my default and solo browser since version 1.0 into switching to old Edge in 2016. New Edge (even though in the alpha/beta stages) will be my default browser. Canary Chrome will be my occasional secondary browser. I do not like or use Firefox or Opera.  I like that Microsoft (like Google Chrome and Firefox Nightly) allows us to use the beta versions to test new features and give input. Hopefully (like Google and Firefox) the Edge Canary, Development, and Beta versions will remain as usable options to continue to test future pre-updates/pre-changes after the stable release of new Edge.

     

    I've recently side by side compared new Edge to Google Chrome Canary and Firefox Dev & Nightly, and even in it's early stages of development the new Edge is a superior browser in my opinion.

    A- I like the new Edge.

    As for me it seems Fast and very responsive to so far anything I try to do in it/with it...

     

    C- Will go from Edge to New Edge.

    Hoping that the final release is very customizable.  I am loving a lot of the "edge://flags" they are currently experimenting with and so far I only have 14 of them enabled.  What they allow us to choose in regards to what we want turned on/off and how many options they allow us to customize will determine just how great this browser will be.  And with that being said, I'd probably stay with whatever they give us (fully trusting MS Fan) as there are other browsers out there that folks can choose, though Chrome being one of them, would never be a choice I'd make......

     

    anyway here's poll response A&C

      I'd like to clarify something in regard to 'B'.  That is saying, "I use Edge now & will use NEW Edge".  In that scenario, I suggest, it is not the same as switching from some other browser to NEW Edge; those, still, exist & one will, always, have choice.  But, NEW Edge will replace Edge, thus, there will be no choice to NOT switch from 'old' to 'NEW' Edge.  And, after release, new Win10 installs & or machines will have NEW Edge & not Edge (available), as well, not both.

      Cheers,
      Drew
