1- MS really needs to pay attention to the uproar over their privacy practices. You can turn almost all
of that stuff off except for aggregate technical telemetry data-gathering.

2- Edge crashes all the time on me. It does need addons and extensions too.

3- They need to give detailed verbiage when they do updates. This minimal cryptic style sucks.

I'm not agreeing with all of that thread, just providing it for discussion.
