To solve these nine problems, Microsoft Edge may become an artifact (1)

Internet Explorer has gone through 20 years, but it has not gotten better yet. Instead, it has become one of the most negative-feedback browsers, So Microsoft has chosen to give up, re-develop a browser named Microsoft Edge built into Windows 10 and serves as the default browser, hoping to compete with competitors Chrome and Firefox to prevent further erosion of its browser market share.

This is not an easy task. Microsoft not only needs to convert hundreds of millions of Internet Explorer users into Edge users, but also solves the problem of millions of enterprises relying on Internet Explorer, most users expect faster, simpler, safer, and more powerful browsers. How can Microsoft do this?

Below we will briefly list nine items where the customer spoke about Edge as "waste", but Microsoft has not improved Edge at present.

1. Random crash

This first improvement should be what Microsoft can do, as long as the browser is stable and normal.

For the moment,Even the Build 10525 and 10532 versions are abnormal in some situations and crash occurs.This is a blow to users who are pursuing faster and more convenient browser experience. Therefore, Microsoft needs to ensure that the most basic functions can be used normally.

2. Restore the status before the crash

Although the crash may not be guaranteed by every browser, the most unpleasant thing for users is the crash of the browser. After restarting the browser, all previously opened tabs are gone, which is annoying.

Now many browsers, including Google Chrome, have taken this into consideration. When the browser crashes, it will automatically restore the previous tab or provide the option to re-open the page closed due to unexpected crashes, it is quite practical.

We hope Microsoft can also consider this feature on the Edge, which helps narrow the functional gap with its competitors. Edge can now enable the browser to automatically open the browser page when it is closed, but this is not a well-known option,By default, you also need to select "front page" for "open mode" in the settings menu ".

At the same time,Edge does not have a button to undo the page by mistake, although there is a shortcut key "Ctrl + Shift + T"But Microsoft does not provide a detailed description.

3. the shortcut is not clear enough

As mentioned above, even if you use the Edge browser, You do not necessarily know that "Ctrl + Shift + T" is the shortcut key for revocation. In fact, all the shortcut keys are not clear at all. Microsoft's setting is to directly move about 30 shortcut keys on IE to the Edge, but there is no prompt, there is no place to view the shortcut keys, and the default Shortcut Keys cannot be modified.

Basically, if you are familiar with IE, you can operate with your memory. You can only try your luck. Therefore, we hope that Edge can provide a complete list of shortcut keys and customize Modifications like other browsers.

4. Why is there no "help "?

What if you don't know how to use Edge? No way. You can only search for results online by yourself. In Windows, F1 can activate the help information of related applications, including the help information of the browser, or provide a Help button directly in the application, however, if you cannot find these on Edge, pressing F1 does not work. All you can find in the menu is the terms of use and privacy.

In fact, Microsoft has provided Edge browser help on the official page, but has not provided any guidance. Microsoft's basic experience design is ridiculous. You don't know what the browser is different from other browsers, but you don't know how to understand and use it.
