Great video! I knew a few of these but the Collections and Tools were real game changers for me. Thanks!

[steff_ff]

So many good tips I didn't even know, I have to share this with my clients. I know many of them will love this, thanks!

I love using edge for profiles. All my work accounts are Microsoft, plus test accounts etc. Having it dynamically open page links in the right profile, sooo good.

Really enjoy your knowledge transfer presentation. No fluff.

Nice video Jonathan. Since 2020, I have been using Edge without looking back. All the features you mentioned alongside it being a less of a memory hog make me stick with it. My favourite feature is the workspaces. Different workspace, for different tasks, alongside mouse gestures, have made by browsing experience much smoother.

I started using edge when it switched to chromium and very quickly it became my go to browser. Don’t even have chrome installed anymore.

Thanks Jonathan! already a long time Edge user, but learned a lot today! Thanks!

I use split screen all day at work..love it

[mateuszmostowski]

I use Edge on a daily basis and am quite happy about it. Never heard about some of those features though! I have to try them

[jayjay-gepd]

Thank you, I'm an edge user but was toying on the idea to change back to chrome. But you reminded me how good it is. keep the videos coming .

[shemmac]

ive started using it more and more ... seems to work really well

God knows why people love Chrome over Edge when it lacks even basic bookmark management features. Not talking about Collections in Edge.
1. Recently deleted so you can recover accidentally deleted bookmark
2. Duplicate finder for bookmarks
3. Find bookmarks is not possible from the top down menu in Chrome. You got to open the bookmark manager.

I love your content … I’m using all the Microsoft Office products and I will give Edge a try !!!

I've started using Edge Profiles to log into my client's M365 tenants (Admin centre etc). Everything I do in that profile is under my client's user context. Switch client, switch profile. It's a pain having to set things up multiple times e.g. extensions, but overall, it's a time saver. I never thought I'd say this after moving to Chrome, but Edge it is becoming appealing again! Doesn't hang as much as Chrome these days either ... shock/horror!

I'm using Brave, as of right now. But, Edge was my home browser, until I found Brave of its privacy. But, I still use it at work. I still respect Edge.

Edit: Btw, Awesome video!

Thank you for your video, it's great.

My only gripe with Edge is that it fails at large data sets rendered into HTML SELECT elements.
Create a local HTML file with a SELECT element that has anything over 7000 rows in it. Open that in Edge and you'll be waiting 7 or more seconds for the page to fully load. Open it in any other browser, or even Edge but in Internet Explorer compatibility mode, and it'll load near instantly.

[johnbufton]

You didn't mention vertical tabs which make navigating between many open pages far easier

As a Linux user, managing Windows users Edge has been invaluable the web-apps function is also great for those users that only need 4 web pages and may be a bit lacking on the tech side. Web-app pin to taskbar off they go. Be good to see a video on the Edge setting you can set in Enterprise I saw the option but I havn't gone into yet, if it's what I think it is could be an amazing resource for sys-admins.
