It’s going to encapsulate the Edge browser inside a virtual machine, making it much harder for hackers and malware to attack your machine through a browser exploit.

    No privacy fix; but, making the PC harder to hack is still good

    Does it finally allow plugins like ad block and ghostery? If so I'll switch today from Firefox.

    EDGE has limited extensions. ad block is one of them its called "adguard" i have not used it
     
    now reading more about it it sounds suspect since edge doesnt officially support add ons/extensions yet

    It's only intended for Enterprise at the moment (at least when it ships), so it still won't matter for the average end-user.

    I still use the regular IE, but also use FF, and Chrome. I tried Edge in the past, but didn't care for it.
