Windows 10 1809: Now arriving on a desktop near you (if you want it)

Re: Edge in 1809

As of 1803, Edge became "usable" and continues to improve. And for those who check, perhaps it improves more noticeably than other browsers, as it was so comparatively barebones when it arrived in 2015.

Regardless of how many people do or do not use it, some folks do. Worldwide it's millions. I use it sometimes (the times I find myself on Windows 10 machines), and I've grown to like it as it keeps getting better. I'd probably use it all the time, but the long term branch version of Windows I employ doesn't have it.

Moreover, many people are looking for ABC/Google alternatives e.g. I use Firefox on my main drivers, I've signed up for Minds and Bitchute (and actually visit from time to time), often deliberately use search that's Bing based, and have a whole host of Google's tracking domains deadsunk in a hosts file.

So I have no issue with my original post.

Edge in 1809

Some people have found Edge will not load websites if IPv6 is not enabled on their system after installing 1809. The current fix being to enable IPv6.
