OK so I let the Collective update my PC to 1903 yesterday (see the other thread) and deciding that resistance was still futile, I installed the New Edge as well. I did a bit of Googling (ironic) on it first and learnt that Microsoft had abandoned their HTML engine for the Chrome open source engine and that this was going to make the New Edge look and behave a bit like Chrome.
Now I like Chrome for many reasons I also liked the old Edge but this would not run ADS-B Exchange. The New Edge does run it.
The new Edge is very much like Chrome and I am thinking why bother with it and not switch to Chrome for all my browsing needs? I will continue to run both browsers for a while and see which one I prefer, before I make a decision to go with one or the other, or even stay with both.
