This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I've been working with a vendor on and off to replace functionality in our software that works perfectly (thanks client). For the last two months, I've been using their website API demo to test my work. Every time I send the JSON, the result comes out horribly wrong. I send a note to the vendor. Every time we have a call, the promise its been fixed and tested. Then I repeat test and send them the results.
Today, a different engineer for the vendor gets back to me and says my JSON has variables in the wrong place and move them in a very cryptic email. Once I move things around from the format they originally sent to the new one, it magically starts working.
Its hard to even express my frustration at the vendor. I've decided not to list the things I would like to do to the original engineer for now bothering to review what I sent for the last two months. This project could have been done if they had attention to details.

I once worked with a client who wanted to send out faxes.
Luckily they had some third party tool that did all the heavy lifting.
All I had to do was send an email with a PDF attachment to some inbox.
No prob.
Except that the fax never got sent.
The tool they used had no documentation, I could not access the inbox, nor the server where they installed the software.
All I knew was "it isn't working."
So I called their sysadmin and he checked the logs and the server and the inbox, but he couldn't find anything and he'd call me back.
I called him a couple of times over a two week period, but he never had an answer and he never called me.
Then, months later, I got a call that I had to fix the faxing issue NOW!
So I told this guy I really didn't know anything, he said "hold on, I'll check" and not five minutes later he told me what was wrong and I was able to fix it 
Amazing how long a single guy can stall progress

As much as I had written MS off of the browser battles years ago, when I kicked the tires on Edge I was really impressed with some of the feature set and thinking that were put into their updated offering. The notating, sharing and collaboration concepts really are to me welcomed additions to the user experience then the frustrating crashes came!!! But to my amazement when I started the browser back up it remembered where I was almost always which was 'almost' worth partial forgiveness.
I had used Chrome till it became run down and jumped ship to FF, back to Chrome again and then again to the Fox... with forays into several other along the way just to see what else was out there. I've kept checking back at Edge just because I liked the feature set and hoped that MS would fix its burgeoning child browser and it might just mature into something that would be useful.
That has proven to show a gradual improvement but I am frustrated with how slow that improvement is evolving. Hang-ups and dropouts still persist on this browser far more than I would consider reasonable but despite that I really wish that MS would get it's act together and fix this browser because I would love to adopt Edge as my primary browser.
What about y'all?

I used it, once. I downloaded Chrome, and haven't used Edge since, except to check bugs on sites to make sure it's not a Chrome artifact.

I think adblock and extensions are available in latest versions of Edge.

They are - in the '...' menu at the top right of the Edge window, there's an Extensions option. It looks like there are several different ad blockers available for Edge now.

There are several extensions for edge, and adblock and adblock plus have been available[^] since may 2016 or so.

Couldn't give a hoot about Edge.
0) At work I'm thankfully staying with Windows 7 for the foreseeable future. No Edge.
1) At home I primarily use a Mac (No Edge) and VERY intermittently Linux (No Edge).
2) My smartphone is an iPhone (No Edge).
3) My tablet is an iPad (No Edge).
I use Chrome across the whole gamut for consistency and dead simple synced bookmarks.

You know what I wish? That MS would stop f***ing about with things where they clearly have no idea what they are doing and get back to what they are actually good at: operating systems that users like, office suites that users like, and development environments that developers like...
