Started using Edge

So chrome started having weird scrolling issues after the latest update (or possibly the most recent windows update). On some websites there is a .5-1 second delay between scrolling on the touchpad and when the site itself scrolls. This was getting on my nerves so I started using Edge instead. I have actually found that there are a number of things I really like about edge. The interface is clean, with the option for a dark theme which I like. I also really like how when you hover over a tab it provides a preview of the page associated with the tab in the same way that hovering over a program in the taskbar does. I find this really useful when I have multiple tabs open, and some of them are different pages on the same site. I also like how typing the name of a website into the search bar provides a blurb on what the site is, similar to google searching a site.

Only things that are really bugging me about it right now is that without extensions I can't have an addblocker and sometimes javascript just doesn't want to work, requiring me to close the tab and return to the page.

Wow, you like Edge? I liked it for a bit (10 minutes) then I realized no adblocker. I quit at that moment

My issue was not with scrolling with a mouse but rather with the touchpad.

have you enabled smooth scrolling?
