Explaining Edge Dev as DWB
Windows 10's default web browser is Edge (Chromium), which in this discussion will be called Edge GA (General Accessibility). The Edge "Insider" Dev Channel can, also, be run side-by-side with GA. Dev is stable & updates wkly. It has Features & abilities and flags that make it VERY exciting & enticing to use. It even has the Widget. It can be used constantly, same as GA. So, if using Dev due to all it offers, instead of GA, Win10 lets one pick its Default Web Browser. Make it Edge Dev. > Settings > Apps > Default Apps, scroll down to Web Browser & set it to Edge Dev. You can grab Dev here https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download I have Edge GA, Dev & Canary, but use Dev & use it as the DWB. Cheers, Drew
