Hi Eleanor & Welcome,

This wee project 😉 is looking, feeling, really good so far and overall behaving well, too. You mention "one that uses less memory"; I know that is what we want to achieve.  You should be aware many have been saying they are seeing high RAM levels.

It's fun being involved with this endeavour, it's early & there is heaps to do.  But, once all the (assumed) features (now, in Edge) are in Edge C., it seems destined to be one fine browser, indeed!

One thing I am anxious to see is to have ellipsis items access via fly-out panels, as Edge has now; NOT going to (other) full pages.  The > a full page approach is horrible for a few good reasons.

Cheers,
Drew

    Hi Drew1903! Thank you so much for the welcome! It is a lot of fun to be here - thank you for sharing your thoughts. 

     

    This is great feedback! Can you share more about this: " The > a full page approach is horrible for a few good reasons" - I'd love more about those reasons. Thanks!

      Oh, I am terribly late in noticing this request, oops❗😣

      Anyway, > ( some other, different) full page is dumb, illogical, counter-productive, inefficient, distracting and wastes time.  It is all of the above because one is no longer viewing, visually & mentally connected to & immersed with the site or page that has, make that had, one's interest, concern or attention.  They just left what they were doing, for no good reason... I say, no good reason since, obviously, there isn't any, just look at Edge for proof.  There is no good reason to change that or take a different approach; the status quo is brilliant❗ We are looking a site or page, working on something however important, concentrated, rapt, focused, but, with the silly swap page approach, one is suddenly, no longer 'on' what had their thoughts (or eyes)... it is bad compared to staying where you are AND NOT losing sight of it... what was wanted in ellipsis goes with where one is, at that moment... leaving (sight of) it is not sensible.

      Moral: Don't make a silk purse into a sows ear.  <-- No that is not mis-worded 😊

      Are you sorry you asked, Eleanor? 😁LOL  Just had to give you more than, it's dumb 😉 

       

      On a positive note, the panel approach is smart. And we like smart.  Ok, smart wins ✔

      And, the Edge C Team is smart.  Did I mention how we feel about smart?

      Cheers,
