Edge container tabs
TrafGib I have also heard that contains is something chromium simply can not do. This, admittedly, made me a bit disenchanted with the chromium project as a whole.
I hope microsoft would change chromium in a fundamental way and make functionalities which were not possible earlier an option, containers being one example.
That, or [VERY LONG TERM] plan a brand new engine written from scratch and migrate users to it once majority of market has been recaptured.
cheeseleader Clearly the "new engine" thing isn't going to happen (that's what the first Edge was).
I'm mostly hoping that Edge picks up market share from Chrome ("Same great compatibility, less spying!"), and that Microsoft can provide some counterbalance against Googles desire to ignore the standards processes and do what they want.
The irony of Microsoft being our best hope against Chrome becoming the new IE is ... well, ironic.
blairmacintyre no way Chromium won't become bloated over time and it is better to start from the very beginning sometimes. Also saw the news that DOJ may force google to sell chrome. From my perspective, Google was able to pull this insidious thing in the first place because it was open source and free. Opera took the bait and then Microsoft.
Come to think of it : DOJ can't force a company to sell their proprietary software that is deeply integrated into OS. Also a reason why Microsoft doesn't make EdgeHTML public because that will mean making part of win 10 public.
Shared advantages is not how competition works. Look at gaming consoles, they have strong incentive. If, in the future, mozilla gives in you'll see how all market becomes lukewarm and stagnant.
blairmacintyre - "Same great compatibility, less spying!"
The more Microsoft can key in on this distinction as being legit, the better. A couple of years ago, I abandoned all things Google for that very reason. So far, with the native Edge settings, and a few privacy extensions installed, I have been very pleased with Edge privacy.

For sure! Like me, you must have been a web developer back in those wonderful days! Pain in the butt.
