1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,919
for a long time Microsoft's veneer excuse me venerable Internet Explorer

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,040
was a lot like the cheeseburger on the menu at your local Chinese joint it was

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,839
always just kind of there even though nearly everyone opted for Chrome Firefox

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,760
or kungpow chicken instead and could you really blame them most popular

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,359
alternatives to iie offered faster performance better compatibility and

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:30,439
security and more useful features that left Internet Explorer in the dust so

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:34,280
after seeing ie's usage share drw po off

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,640
for 12 straight years Microsoft decided

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,280
it was time to abandon ship and build an entirely different browser called Edge

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:46,440
and even though the edge logo is suspiciously similar to that Infamous e

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Microsoft has promised a faster browsing experience behind the scenes that plays

12
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:56,480
nicely with modern websites but talk is cheap how is Microsoft going to deliver

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:01,440
on its assurances of a better browser well similarly to how a game uses a

14
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,400
rendering engine to make pretty pictures appear on your screen browsers use their

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:10,040
own rendering engines to show you coherent web pages instead of a wall of

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,080
garbled junk and Microsoft has developed an allnew engine called Edge HTML which

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:20,600
was originally developed from ie's Trident engine but has the old IE code

18
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:25,960
removed which Microsoft says will make modern web pages load faster and more

19
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:31,520
accurately and speaking of making things faster Edge also no longer supports

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:36,399
ActiveX or brows helper objects those old Internet Explorer plugins that were

21
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:41,720
notorious for being super susceptible to malware that could slow down your PC

22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:47,320
direct you to malicious websites or worse but not all the improvements are

23
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,479
just behind the scenes stuff Edge also

24
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:55,680
has a new user interface that promises to be less clunky than IE for starters

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Microsoft has finally decided it's not a

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,560
good idea to crowd together browser tabs and the address bar on the same line and

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,200
has reserved the entire top of the screen for tabs like other modern

28
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:11,959
browsers Edge has also moved to a single menu scheme for changing options instead

29
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:16,640
of the messy internet options box that has been with us since freaking Windows

30
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:21,400
95 and I guess well that's all finding Dandy Linus hold on a second it sounds

31
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,640
like Edge is purely playing catchup with the other browsers here does it actually

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:31,239
offer anything that I won't get with chrome or Firefox as a matter of fact

33
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,000
yes Edge is trying to set itself apart

34
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:37,200
from its competitors by offering additional functionality without the

35
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:42,360
need for thirdparty browser extensions something that let's face it most

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,040
non-power users are not really using so

37
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,360
namely you can annotate and mark up web pages just by clicking a button at the

38
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:52,360
top of the screen then you can share them or save them to one note pretty

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,640
cool stuff and additionally Edge features integration with Cortana the

40
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,599
new Windows 10 personal assistant making it easy to quickly look up information

41
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:06,640
about any topic you see on a web page uh use voice controls or even get things

42
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:11,080
like driving directions or dinner reservations but despite all these

43
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,280
improvements is Edge really ready for Prime Time although the new rendering

44
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,680
engine should certainly deliver better performance our tests have shown it

45
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:24,120
still legs behind Chrome and Firefox in a number of benchmarks and it still

46
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,879
isn't as compliant with newer web standards like HTML 5 as the competition

47
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:35,000
and although a simpler UI will be a welcome change for many power users may

48
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,439
find themselves frustrated at the rather lean options in the settings menu I mean

49
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:44,680
even something as simple as the default download directory cannot be changed

50
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,080
without a registry tweak so let us know in the comments can you live without

51
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:53,480
right click paste and go and give Edge a chance as long as it means IE is finally

52
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,920
going the way of clippy or are you just going to stick with the other thirdparty

53
00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,640
browsers that you already know and love

54
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,200
