I know!
How can the word "skunk" be used without everyone automatically thinking of politicians?

Skunk is one of the odours that doesn't really bother me.

I have been trying out Edge after most major updates since Windows 10 came out and always ended up hating it and going back to Chrome, but I think that has changed after this Creator's Update.
Chrome seems to me like it has been getting slower and slower. Scrolling performance leaves a lot to be desired these days, and the latest update has tabs regularly freezing up for 5 seconds at a time on all my computers (1 mac laptop and 2 PCs). The one thing I really like about Edge is that it certainly feels a lot more responsive and the scrolling is buttery smooth.
The only thing I'm kind of on the fence about is Edge's font rendering. Chrome has much smoother looking fonts, whereas Edge gives text a bit more contrast but it seems to come at the expense of smoothness. I don't think that will continue to be an issue after upgrading to a high DPI ultrawide in the near future, but it's a bit of an issue on my plebian 96 DPI monitor at the moment (although I do like the 30" of glorious real-estate).
I removed my Chrome taskbar shortcuts and completely made the switch a few days ago and I gotta say I think I enjoy Edge more overall now. Anyone else try to make the transition after Creator's Update? What were your thoughts?

Chrome works fine for me - no freezing, no slow scroll, no problems at all - on my PC, the WookieTab, and Android devices I get no problems.
Edge, on the other hand is an unmitigated pile of doggy do-dos - on Anniversary, admittedly but I doubt I'll use it when CE arrives here.

Well as I said, I didn't like it on Anniversary either.
Chrome scroll performance isn't "slow", but after you use Edge for a bit you will definitely feel the difference. It's like going from a 60hz TV to a 120hz TV. The 60hz TV isn't "slow", it's fine, but then you look at a 120Hz TV and it's like "woah, that's really smooth."
The tab issue on Chrome seems to happen randomly maybe once out of every 10 or 20 times I open a link in a new tab, but I do that all the time so it gets a little bit annoying. It's only been happening for a few days so I'm sure they will fix whatever is causing it soon, but it was more of a reason to give Edge a real go for the time being.

Edge is a pile of doggy do-dos: I have to use it very occasionally for a few specific sites and it never ceases to annoy me. I'm glad you like it, but then - the chimpanzees they had throw the original version together were also probably very happy with what they produced ... doesn't mean it was a worthwhile browser.
And chrome just hasn't given me any problems, recently or not.

Um, you just said you haven't tried it in CE so I'm not sure what we are discussing. My post specifically indicated that I disliked it before and this is the first version I think might actually be good, so let's resume this discussion after you actually try it and have something more concrete other than "doo doos" to talk about, haha

I'm not going to try it, or at least not by preference. Microsoft can shout about how good it is until they are blue in the face - but I remember that they shouted really loudly all over the TV that it was wonderful for the first one and that was a total lie, as you well know. The only good thing about that one was "you could use it to download Chrome"!
So why should I believe a random person who - as far as I know - could well be working for the MS marketing department?

I never asked you to believe me. I just said this wasn't a productive discussion if you haven't tried the thing we are talking about. You don't have to try it, and I didn't ask you to try it...I just said that this is a pointless discussion until you've tried it.

This site is very anti-Microsoft. So, if you say you like anything Microsoft then you must be a fanboi and you must be working for Microsoft. That is the intellectual level of most that will respond.

It's funny you say that because this site is primarily a Microsoft-centered site.

It is surprising. Bite the hand that feeds you comes to mind.

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.
