The web can be overwhelming.
... and apparently, so can this browser.
So far, from what I've seen of it, Microsoft is once again trying too hard -- Of course this project is still only in the development stages, so what I'm seeing here is most likely a writing FFA from anyone invited or otherwise assigned to write for the project and that these developers are just showing off their skills ... skills that probably won't be included in the final build.
Secondly -- When are these guys going to admit that the fox guarding the hen house when it comes to your own data and privacy is never going to end well for the end user?
Google does this too -- All of the other guys are bad, but we are good. Both Microsoft and Google sound strikingly like Rick Moranis in the movie Spaceballs when Dark Helmet tells LoneStar what's good and what's bad. Laughable might be a good term to use in this sense, because, after all, who doesn't just love Spaceballs? ... Microsoft, somehow seems to think that by using an open source solution to collect your data is better and safer than their proprietary solution was of the by-gone days. Using fancy frilly little gizmos to push a product is pretty old school for Redmond .. They do it well, and it distracts greatly from addressing the core problem of capturing personal data, to be sold at a later date, to the highest bidders. ... I'm a Linux guy, and I'm not looking to see Edge appearing anytime soon in the repo's, but if by chance Microsoft does write for Linux, I probably wouldn't use Edge for all of the same reasons that I don't use Chrome today.
It's a gorgeous browser, spinny, twinkly, and shiny new --- But all of the huff and fluff means nothing if you are unable to control the what's, when's, and where's as it relates to Microsoft collecting and selling your personal data.
