On MacOS it requires admin privilege to install. I am done with that after all the crap that previous software with admin rights installed. I cleaned it up and swore I would not install anything that required admin rights again - for my own security and peace of mind. What does it need admin rights for?
Maybe to install an autoupdater?

I can notice bad kerning, that's not what I thought we're talking about. We're just talking about the distortion difference between these renderers we have, not arbitrarily terrible distortion. And awful kerning is not the kind of distortion a renderer like Chrome's has.
Are they really not noticeable to you? The one on the right has clear jagged edges to me.

But then you add Microsoft tracking which is even worse. Why not just use Chromium and have no tracking?
Why is Microsoft tracking "even worse" than Google tracking? I'm pretty sure Google has infected more of the Internet than Microsoft.
Without specifics is hard to know what the message you replied to meant but one thing where I find MS tracking worse than anything Google can do on the Internet right now is that MS tracks and reports my local OS use (what applications I install/run, how long I run them, what files I have) while an Internet tracker can only get access to what the browser allows which generally limits sharing the type of information I listed.
EDIT: And pretty much all browsers have an Incognito mode or you can use TorBrowser which goes beyond that but I cannot similarly defend myself against my own local OS privacy invasion.
Aaaaand the EULA and menu buttons are in Italian when I download from the en-us version of the site. I knew there would be 90 languages, but I didn't know I'd need to learn all of them to use Edge!
Just another shit bare bones so called browser.
Its crazy to think that literately 20 fucking years ago, there existed browsers (like MyIE2 Trident Engine based (ie IE)) that had more features and customisation options than the fucking shite that is released to public now.
I’m sure much has changed internally but still, who would have imagined that KDE and Apple would be the ones to produce the dominant core browser architecture for the whole world?

Yeah, I threw a sizeable PDF (800MB textbook) at it and it's choking pretty hard compared to old Edge to the point where it's barely usable. Not a deal breaker for me because I don't have a touch screen and use an external PDF reader (sumatraPDF), but if I was using edge for heavy PDFs I would be rather disappointed Seems fine for PDFs that are a bit less extreme, but nowhere near as smooth as old edge.
800MB textbook??? What kind of textbook is that and how many pages does it have? Or page dimension/image resolution??? That is a very very large size for a pdf.
Originally it was completely uncroped, and OCRing it seems to have grown it even larger.
Not too familiar with details with PDFs but I suspect it's just a huge DPI render (maybe designed to go towards being printed) that could probably be reduced significantly if it was designed for normal consumption.
All things considered it's amazing it works at all, but old Edge handled it a lot smoother.

I have published some of my extensions for the new Edge browser on their store [1], the submission experience was straightforward and pleasant, and the extensions were published in a couple of days after manual review. Updates were also reviewed and published in a timely manner. More importantly, during extension submissions and reviews I did not feel abused as a developer, something which I cannot say about the Chro…
Phrasing it as a dichotomy like that is pretty dishonest, especially how Firefox is twice as popular than Edge [1] and is free open source software that doesn't spy on you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Su...
