I think that's the problem.
We all meet so many good things that MS don't shout about at all - Visual Studio springs to mind, as does SQL Server - that when we meet (or worse have to work with) the total stinkers that they push, push, push as the best thing since sliced bread - Vista, Win8, Win10, Edge, and Word all leap to the foreground - we get all cynical and think "F 'em!" because we know how right they can get it when they try.
And we also know how stubborn MS can be, even in the face of near universal distaste.
Since most users don't meet the real gems, they assume the dross is the best it can get, and we know different.

Spot on.
The problem is that VS is designed and made by developers for developers, and everything else is designed and made by developers who have to do what marketing morons tell them to do.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Don't tell me how to live my life!!!

They are not telling you how to live your life, only which web browser to use, but in today's world it's practically the same thing

Hey, if I have to explain a joke...
... I probably should have written it better in the first place

That would be the same as explaining it -- and besides, I see that as an "I'm happy" emoji.

If microsoft hears that sort of thing they will only break it again.

Until Edge has a full-screen mode, I won't bother revisiting it.
Slogans aren't solutions.

I never noticed it was missing, probably because I rarely ever use it, but it does indeed appear to be missing. Just curious - what do you use it for?
|
|
|
|
|
Web-based VDI sessions mostly, but I also like to go full screen for some other things as my eyesight isn't overly brilliant and if I'm going to be on a tab for any length of time, the more screen estate I can get, the less eye-strain I suffer.

Yeah, a bit of a strange omission I must say. Doesn't affect me much but I do find it odd that it's missing.

So it won't work with windows 8?
Damn!

Are you saying that you're still on Windows 8? Oh man, I feel sorry for ya.

This lappy I'm using right now is 8.1 -- but you wouldn't recognise it as being so.
I used a subtle method known as "hacking the living cr@p out of the registry" to make it useable.

Until I can pin the favorites sidebar to the left and persist that across sessions, I have no interest. It would probably be a trivial change for the Edge team to make.
|
|

You can pin it to the right and persist it across sessions. That's pretty close I think, haha.
