Name Change
1 TopicName suggestion for the new Edge insider browser
I've seen a lot of people asking for a name change and logo change for the new Edge insider browser. I know it's simply a request and the ultimate decision should be made by Microsoft and they have to consider many things before doing it. Microsoft has already rebranded their Security suit and now calls it Microsoft Defender (previously known as Windows Defender), they started this name change when they released that security suit for MAC OSX, they removed the word Windows from it so that it becomes a universal software and not OS depended. I think it would be a good thing if Microsoft did the same change to the Edge browser, by calling it something like Microsoft browser, that would be a clean slate, no attachments to the previous browser, no good/bad history. a new journey to begin, hopefully a very good one. For the logo, you can use the 4 colors from the Microsoft logo (red,blue,green,yellow) and mix them up and possibly replace E with an M. (Feel free to suggest anything else you've got in mind) also it makes more sense now more than ever because there were never any browsers from Microsoft available for any other OS than Windows. neither the Internet explorer, not the old Edge were available for other platforms. but now this new Edge insider browser is officially supported on MAC, older versions of Microsoft Windows and maybe soon available for Linux too. if all of that are not good enough, then what about this. when someone has a problem or question about Google chrome, they can search for it using search engines and all of the results are pretty much related to what they searched for, because there is only one Google chrome browser. When Microsoft Edge insider goes into stable phase and replaces the built-in Edge browser, it will be hard for everyone to search about it in search engines like (Bing, Google etc), whether it's a problem, question about a specific feature or anything, because the search results will be mixed and misleading. half of the search results will be about the old built-in Edge and the other half will be about the new Edge browser. and since both the old and new Edge have the same name and even same logo (as seen from the leaked stable version on Microsoft Servers), that's gonna be very problematic for the end user. it's already obvious that the end game is to replace the built-in Edge with the least changes in appearance. we all want the best for Microsoft Edge.
