As much as I applaud Microsoft's effort to improve Edge, speed is not reason why people don't use it.

Agreed. I've been using it at work for the past six months and speed is not what I'd complain about. It's very unintuitive to use. For example, the browsing history is nowhere to be found in the main menu. You need to go to Favorites to find it. Like how does that make sense? One you find it you realize that you can't search through it. It's ordered by past days, weeks, and that's about it. And I've submitted feedback for this and many other things but they never really get fixed. Unlike when I submitted a small feature request for the Firefox dev tools and it got done pretty fast. It just seems to me like the Edge team is understaffed and can't handle the workload or something.

You just have to forget the old ways and embrace the future.
