I&amp;#x27;m really impressed by the startup time of Edge. I type some query in the Cortana search bar and press Enter, it launches Edge extremely fast. So far I really love the performance.&lt;p&gt;However to make it my main browser I&amp;#x27;m still waiting for adblocking extensions. I browse with a few tabs opened, one of them start randomly playing an ad video, at least it shows the sound icon on the tab so I know which one to kill.&lt;p&gt;I also noticed a few UI problems: 
When pressing the back button with &amp;quot;Ctrl&amp;quot; on, it does not open the last page in a new tab. Surprisingly, I use this feature very often on Chrome &amp;amp; Firefox. Sometimes when opening a new tab, the focus is not in the address&amp;#x2F;search bar, forcing me to click on it (or pressing Tab until I get it)</text></comment>
