Experience with Edge Browser

Thanks to Firefox 57 (and that chaos caused by Plugin incompatibilities) I decided to give a try to Microsoft Edge browser (version 40.15063.674.0 - See Settings -> About App).

Quick Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• it just works
• can View EPUB files (yes!)

Cons:

• can not disable Video Autoplay (at least officially) - probably most stupid feature of HTML5 (there are many comments on Internet on this - most of them can't be spoken in public)
• No Save As HTML function (just Print). There is a rumor that on some pages you can right-click on page and select Save As in context menu. But I have no such luck.

Adding bookmarks to Favorites Bar

Just drag address Line to Favorites Bar, right? Wrong! Even, when you have empty Favorites Bar there are clever instructions that you should Drag your Bookmark from Hub to Favorites Bar - but they don't work this way :-)

So what is the right way:

1. Ensure that you have Favorites Bar visible:
   • click on menu (3 dots ...)
   • click on Settings
   • turn on Show the Favorites Bar
2. For new bookmark - when you click on Add (Star icon) ensure that you selected Favorites Bar in Save in Drop Down. This adds bookmark to Favorites Bar automatically
3. To move existing bookmark to Favorites Bar use following:
   • click on Hub icon
   • select Favorites tab
   • drag your bookmark to Folder named Favorites Bar. Don't attempt to drag to real Favorites Bar bar :-)

Yeah, good puzzle.

Cleaning cookies on Browser Close

• click on menu (that 3 dots ...)
• click on Settings
• click on Choose What to Clear
• keep just Cookies and Saved website data
• toggle Always clear this when I close browser to on.

WARNING! I did not verify that this setting really clears cookies on browser close (hopefully it just does what is says).
