![]() ![]() This was eventually resolved, but at the time, no matter how many times I'd change the setting, it would still be changed back on a new PC. I had an issue once with Edge where every time I signed in, it switched the browser to light mode, and I'd have to change it to the system setting. Oh, and that amount of time doesn't include the 10-second animation you have to go through just to open Edge for the first time.Īlso, sometimes there are bugs in syncing. When I set up a new PC, I can open Edge, download Vivaldi, sign in to Vivaldi, and have all of my passwords and favorites sync in Vivaldi long before any of them appear in Microsoft Edge. And aside from the year or so that I used it as a default browser before I couldn't take it anymore, one of the first things I do on a new PC is use Edge to download a new browser.

The thing is, even if the content was relevant, I wouldn't want to see any of that. There are also ads with headlines like, "Is a Recession Coming? 5 Things To Do ASAP", and frankly, it blends right in with the quality of content I'm seeing natively. Labeled as "My Feed", it's a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't care about in a million years, such as headlines about Rihanna's child, what Britney Spears posted on Instagram, football news, and more. ![]() Below that is what basically feels like spam. ![]()
