Some 3rd party stuff are pissing me off recently with their behavior, so I switched over to Edge for now.

There has been several things I noticed about Edge:

- you can't even copy download link or copy picture link, there no such option in context menu
… really now? I have to use Internet Explorer to do that. doh.gif If someone knew some extension that fix this problem lemme know pls.

- adsurb amount of memory (RAM) consumption
… I don't really care, but if I running other memory intensive application such as 3D rendering, opening Edge might be a bad idea

- large amount of temp files (?) been stored, I just realize this after checking out what the heck is eating my puny C drive
… see this pic : https://imgur.com/AyMuQ93 those stuff are weeks old, what's the point of storing those streaming data?
… as you can see it got NINE GIGS of temp file. Really? Clearing Cache data do not clear these files... had to remove manually.
… and these are even marked as protected system files, so you gotta untick that option in Folder Option to see these stuff in Explorer.

On the different perspective,

- improved pin to taskbar & pin to start, now makes the browser a lot more usable, instead of limited by the limited amount of tiles on the tab page.

- the Translator for Edge is possibly the best translator extension out there, it's quick and simply, no gimmick.

Edge still have that "Beta" software feeling to it. But it'll get better. It's not gonna beat Chrome or Firefox yet. But it'll get there. My gripe is on memory consumption too. It feel so freaking slow even previous IE feels better. The others well.. just gonna live with it for now. Use Chrome if you want peace of mind or Firefox if you like Extensions (NoScript = Awesome) .
