...and it's kinda weirding me out.

I mean: it's a good browser: I've seen no problems, no crashes, no rendering issues. I'm still getting used to the Search box being the default input (though if you put in a URL it acts just like an address bar) but this, at least, reflects how it's actually being used. However it's IE. OK, it's not, but it has the blue "e" and it's from Microsoft and I've signed the IE must die petition and everything, yet here I am using, and enjoying using, a browser by Microsoft starting with "e".

It makes me nervous.

It's my default browser because as a web developer I need to ensure the stuff I write will work on the platforms most used, and Windows 10 will be big. So I've made Edge my default browser, and I thought it would bug me, and...it's not.

I'm liking Windows 10. A lot. In spite of my deep fears. Fears that have been honed from decades of frustration and disappointment with overhyped underdelivery.

So far so good.
cheers

Chris Maunder
