Re: Improved JavaScript and WebAssembly performance in EdgeHTML 17
#2I've never seen a person using Edge. Does anyone here use it? Do you work at Microsoft or have a big technical investment in their technology? Do you find the lack of cross-platform support annoying, or do you primarily use a single OS?
These changes all look like they apply to ChakraCore, which is open source and available outside of Windows. I'd be curious to hear what kinds of use-cases people have for using Node Chakra over Node V8.

A webinar video was very popular, the MS guy tried to use Edge, the site wasn't working, and he shifted chrome in order to show what he need to show.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall the presenter (a Microsoft employee) running a development/debug version of Edge which was misbehaving, and that was why he chose to use a stock browser instead.

I use Edge as primary browser at home. I like it, and I like the synchronisation between devices. I also like gestures and therefore better touch support on my Surface tablet compared to Firefox.
At work I use Firefox, primarily because it offers containers (useful for testing with different accounts), and the developer tools offer more features and are much more stable.

I use it for Netflix, because for a while I had the problem that in FF/Chrome it would just hang on loading a video or stop in the middle and not being able to restart.
That's the only use I have for it so far.

Edge is the most resource efficient and respects modern Windows conventions, therefore it has the best, pen, touchscreen, tablet (including share button and stuff) and precision trackpad support. And since it's WinRT/UWP, it can suspends its tab processes, and also itself when minimized or automatically during tablet mode in the background, and during fullscreen it also automatically unhides the taskbar when you hover over it, for better multi-tasking.
It also has nice features such as the set tabs aside session manager that even retains history and session cookies, and it a nice PDF and ePub reader with support for notes and highlighting with the pen, and Cortana integration. Before Edge, I primarily used Firefox and dabbled with Chrome and Vivaldi.
Edge is on both iOS and Android, and no I don't work for MS, I just value proper modern OS integration and battery efficiency, so that I can use my device as intended.

I use it for watching videos, and if a site doesn't work in my browser of choice (Firefox) Edge is usually what I try it in first since I tend to have it open pointing at Twitch or Youtube. When I open stuff in it, it's usually pretty slick - it just has weird stability issues (randomly hanging, etc) that stop me from using it more often. I do value having my Firefox profile everywhere (mac, windows machines, android phone) and I can't get that out of Edge, but that's not really a factor in why I don't use it much.

Yes, I use it as my primary daily driver. I use it because I have a 2-1 laptop and the touch support is superior to all other browsers when using Windows 10 in tablet mode.
When doing any kind of web development I do switch to Chrome.
