Props to the Edge team :)

Only complaint I have about Edge is how Windows pushes it down your throat. You get while setting a different browser and even AFTER setting a default browser

TBH way less annoying than Googles constant pop up to download Chrome when using Gmail or other Gapps on IOS every time you click a link. The don't bother me setting also seems to magically reset itself periodically.

Microsoft can't seem to make something people want, so they have to shove it down your throat.

Apple built a walled garden to lure people in.

Microsoft is building a walled prison to trap people.

There's also no ability to uninstall Edge, the current way of doing it appears to be to delete all of the binaries in a specific folder.

That's a fairly normal thing though, generally every operating system ensures there is a browser that can always be used for internal functions. Android has chrome (previously webview I think).

Have they provided a way to search history? Last time I checked it was not possible from the browser itself, except visually searching.

On the other hand, seem to have introduced some tab management features.

More important to me is restoring tabs.
