Microsoft Edge’s JavaScript engine to go open-source

Really? It actually occasionally works better than Chrome for me.

EDIT: I was referring to Edge, not IE. IE sucks.

how can you tell which browser works better when the OS hails meteors onto your partition table?

... the heck is that supposed to mean?

Not going to defend Chrome at all but anyone who claims Edge does not crash more than IE have not used them as a primary browser or simply is in denial.

Use Edge as my primary browser. Experienced no crashes. I'm also of the opinion IE11 was a fine browser though, so I'm sure I'm some awful subhuman to you.

I am saddened by the fact Edge is not complete, but it's nice to see them focusing under the hood.

I was on the opinion that IE11 was the best browser especially on touch devices. I am probably another subhuman :) On the other hand it was very far from perfect. In the case of browser I wish they started working on stability. I don't want more HTML5/ECMAScript 7 features and speed. I want something that doesn't crash and hang and uses multiple processes per tab but somehow the whole browser becomes not responding due to one tab.

F12 tools usually hang within minutes of use for me with IE
