T3rM1nat0Rr3 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Microsoft Edge is a free web browser based on the Chromium Open Source project and other Open Source software. Anyone who's used Google Chrome will immediately feel right at home with the new Microsoft Edge since both browsers are based on Chromium. Currently, you'll need a 64-bit operating system. On startup, you can import your links, favorites, and settings when you install. Options are available to customize what you want or don't want, to import as well as the option to sync across devices. The interface is clean and easy to use. The voice options to read a page is a neat feature and works well. Most popular extensions are also available in the Microsoft Store. Microsoft Edge delivers as we hoped and expected with a clean, simple, friendly web browser that we think many people will now gladly use as their default web browser; something very few people wanted with Internet Explorer. Thanks to Astron for the update. Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is Chromum based, there is no blank page without an extension. Using Bing: I used previous versions when it was still Beta, and it was possible to change the default seach engine.

Hi, @manju What you said is right, it is trying to make your home page a blank page, that needs the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSOD regarding DPC Watch Dog and this time seems related to opening ANY browser.... IE11, Edge Chromium BETA, Google Chrome Stable.... opening any browser results in system freeze and reboot after dump error GSOD 😞 only way to use browser is in Safe Mode... sfc and dism commands come out with out errors...
