Edge Browser.

Morning....has anyone tried the new Beta version of the Edge browser? Have been having a look at it for a week or so now and it appears to be much faster, cleaner and less laggy then the original. Page loads are really fast, and now I have sorted out my "settings" I an ready to make it my default browser. Worth a look if you are using Edge.

Given that it's based on google's Chromium engine, it should be better than it was, but if you're using a Chromium-based browser, you might as well use the original: Chrome.

Prefer the Bing search facility Chair. Hate google with a passion. Chrome is only there as a fall back browser. Would love to get rid of it altogether. The Beta version is based on the "open source Chromium project" that makes source code for developers.

>>> Prefer the Bing search facility

All modern browsers let you change the default search engine. Here's how to do it in Chrome:

As TC says, the latest version of Edge is based upon Chromium, as are many other browsers (notably Opera and Vivaldi). So there are other browsers available which might meet your needs just as well, or better, than Edge. (I quite like Vivaldi as a reserve browser but I'll be sticking to Firefox as my first choice)

So why don't you? If you want to have a 'reserve' browser available, install Vivaldi if want one based on Chromium or Firefox if you'd rather have one which uses a different source code - or opt for a 'tri-core' browser, such as Avant (which is also on my desktop).

I take that as a no then......You haven't had a look at the Edge Beta browser. Does your system allow it?

Nope!

- but I wouldn't be rushing to try anything from Microsoft anyway!

Haha. You know what to do.
