MissyQ Also I'll paste this message with every time you renew this page since you guys don't care.
Now Edge has released officially and I'm still waiting for:
- Ask users if they want to close all tabs when they close a browser window (Like in Firefox, IE and many others)
- Middle Mouse Clicks to open new tabs when clicked on the tabs bar (Like in Firefox)
- Move the opened tabs to the bookmarks toolbar by just dragging them with the mouse (Like in Firefox)
- Built-in Ad-Blocker (Like in Opera)
- Built-in VPN (Like in Opera)
- Importing from Firefox (Which doesn't exists on 90% of the machines I've tried) which is a MAJOR bug!! It's basically the first step I'm going to do "when" I move to Edge !!
So I'm not moving to Edge until these are added/fixed.. and trust me I want to move to Edge because I use almost all Microsoft products including Windows Defender,OneDrive, Office 356 and more! And everything is synced into my Microsoft account! And Edge is great so far and I want it to be synced too! But not perfect since these things and more are missing!
They should be very very simple to add since they exists in Firefox like a decade and half ago... (Except for Ad-Blocker & VPN which exists in the useless Opera for years!)
But looks like Edge still have years to be "near" perfect since you guys don't care much, and until then I see 0 reasons to use it and 0 reasons to change Firefox.

- Firefox Import works. Both Microsoft and Mozilla have added support for each others' browsers, and not only stable, but also experimental channels. I have successfully Imported from Firefox 74/75 to Edge Canary 81/82.
- Edge has adblocker, in fact it's better than adblocker, it's a malware-blocker, miner-blocker, fingerprinting-blocker and more. edge://settings/privacy

- Ask users if they want to close all tabs when they close a browser window
- Opera VPN is lame when the network is using DPI and other stronger anti-censorship technique, personally tested. also the speed is too low. TOR is better and more secure.
- Also you might wanna read this article, it'll change your view on VPNs...

- 1- No it doesn't work, I tested it on like 20 machines that has different Windows and different editions of Edge and it's just not in the import list.
2/3- No it doesn't work at all, all ads are there, this is not an ad-blocker.
4- Yeah I commented there, they are acting like it's not important at all....
5/6- Then we need a strong and efficient one, I don't mean that we need one exactly like Opera's ! Opera is **bleep** anyway.- Spoiler

5/6- Then we need a strong and efficient one, I don't mean that we need one exactly like Opera's ! Opera is **bleep** anyway.1. Which Firefox versions did you try on? which Edge versions? need to be more specific
2. it does, set it to strict. it doesn't obviously block ads on YouTube video and things like that, that's the job of extensions like ublock origin. Opera doesn't do that either.
4. many of us commented as well, if they don't reply to each comment one by one it doesn't mean they don't care.
5. there is already a stronger one. use TOR, use this extension to use TOR network on Chromium based browsers.
- 1- I sent all the info to them before, I'm trying since last year with tons of versions of Firefox latest and ESR with Edge Canary, Dev, Beta & Stable and it's all the same. I've tried like 30 different versions in the past year, and as I said I tried this with about 20 different machines with different Windows.
2- It doesn't hide ads, and of course I need it to hide all kind of ads including YouTube ads ! Other than that it's useless ! Opera does this with it's built-in ad-blocker.
4- They don't care because it took them a long time and they still didn't add it yet although it's very simple option to add !
5- What do you think I'm doing?? I'm already using an extension for ad-blocking and for VPN and "HTTPS Everywhere" and more ! but with Opera I don't have to !! Why should Opera be better in all this ??
Of course I won't use TOR ! It's totally different browser !
