October 4, 20241 yr Microsoft Edge will be even faster: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-more-of-edge-is-set-to-get-very-fast-pretty-soon/ Too bad it is the most difficult browser to configure (according to my needs).
October 24, 20241 yr There is a bug in the current version of Edge that prevents the removal of all cookies. Instead, single removal would be possible. This bug is already fixed with the Canary version. I just sent feedback yesterday. After the feedback I had to deal with a strange “Edge feedback” cookie that I was able to remove with difficulty. Sent more feedback. Not many people pay attention to cookies. I have long placed a “button” in favorites bar and always check for any persistent cookies,when I start the browser. I have a list of 8 cookies that I have blocked in third parties as well. Edited October 24, 20241 yr by Sampei.Nihira

(which I cannot show "in full" because people that know how to use PROXOMITRON could then LOG IN AS ME on MSFN) By knowing how to modify the CONTENTS of cookies, I do not need separate "browser profiles" to (as an example) be logged into Gmail but NOT be logged into YouTube from within the same browser and same profile.
October 24, 20241 yr Even I in Edge do not use different profiles. My one profile is already the most secure and restrictive profile. For my needs it is not very useful to use multiple profiles also because the compartmentalization in Edge is less efficient than what can be achieved in Firefox. I also have several exceptions in UBO/AdGuard Adblocker for web compatibility. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or inclination to fix one problem that happens in my Edge,in online payments. Sending notification and approval with a 6-digit code in a smartphone banking app to authorize that on line payment. Which instead with Firefox I am able to authorize.
