MissyQ: "Opening a new tab is too slow"
It would be faster if users could actually choose what a new tab loads when opened. I'd rather either a blank tab, or a custom URL, such as my homepage. I don't see why it's not possible to choose where a new tab goes, other than by having to install an extension. Even Internet Explorer used to let you choose what a new tab loads!
"Update does not always work reliably"
Quite-often you can just hit refresh after an error-message and the update does then go-through successfully. But no-other browser I use seems to ever have an issue updating, only Edge. And my device is running 20H2, so it's not like I have an option to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall as it's treated as a built-in Windows component from 20H2 onwards, so DISM and SFC are your only options to attempt any kind of repair (assuming either does actually service the Edge component?)
