using 3rd party applications to customize windows is the beauty of windows.
i run it on a ryzen5 and surface pro 8 and it’s been great
Edge itself, as a browser, might only be equally annoying as Chrome, but my point is about Microsoft forcing you to use it.
Using third-party applications to restore functionality is not something we should consider acceptable.
I am using Windows 11 on a Microsoft Surface Go 3 and the UI is big issue at the moment. Some of the issues have been around a while now and are not entirely related to the Surface Go 3:
- Using 125% DPI scaling causes the right-click menu to be incorrectly sized, showing a scrollbar. If you scroll down, explorer crashes. [1]
- Rotating the Surfaces changes screen brightness. Also happens when attaching the type cover. [2]
- If you open too many applications to the point where the taskbar overflows, you cannot access overflowed elements. This easily happens when using the Surface in portrait mode, while having pinned a hand full of applications.
