How I started to like Microsoft Edge Browser


How I started to like Microsoft Edge Browser while using chrome
As most of us out there, I am the usual guy who used Microsoft’s internet browser only once and that for downloading the chrome browser, but recently as I was struggling to find a good pdf reader(hold your brains I will explain what does a web browser has to do with pdf reading) for my laptop, I tried many but finally decided to give chrome the crown in that field too, as it supports my trackpad very well for the navigation. My life was all happy with that with only one problem of inability to highlight the items, which was a big turn down for me.
So finally, I gave Microsoft edge a try (with no expectation of finding anything worthy),.

AND IT HAPPENED, the Microsoft edge was well with the trackpad experience and also it had features like highlighting and read-aloud even for pdfs, it was the best and elegantly designed pdf reader for my needs.

As I mostly use the browsers on full screen, hitting that F11 for me is common for me, so if any of you have used chrome on the full screen you must be knowing that, it is impossible to change tabs, even with (ctrl + tab) but that problem is very much resolved in the case of Edge as they show the tabs too.

It works flawlessly with the Cortana/Start menu Search which is awesome too, searching a word or opening a website seems a bit easier by using Cortana search which opens in the side tab and you do not have to pause your work to see that reference.

And I adding the cherry on the top is the fact that that it started to show some of the history/tabs of the browser in the newly added timeline.

All in all, not saying that Microsoft Edge is the best, cause if you have an account on google(which most of you do have) then chrome is highly handy because of all the apps that google provides also the flawless sign-in option through google+ which most of the websites provide, but it is worth having for few things that it does better and it comes free with windows, (sorry mac users but yeah you all miss that one). This article is posted using chrome….(smirks).

Finding a Friend

As I woke up today, I felt something missing in my life. A feeling of disconnection, and that I am incomplete. I wanted something at that moment, some connection. So I sat down by myself started to think about the part which feels missing. I discovered that it was my own self who was missing from this body. A connection between my body and soul was missing. I started diving deep down into this emotional disconnection to find out why I was feeling that way. Thoughts Life is about friendship, love, affection, experience and exploration but it is all void if you don't share it with the person who is most important to you. A person who was always there for you. We all need such a person and we can't help but keep finding him/her. People are lucky and their life is worth it when they get such a person. It's amazing to tell you that we all have got that person already. It's you. You are the best friend, you got, the person you cherish. Come in terms with yourself. T...

Daily Weirdness #3

People always want their life to get simpler and easier, so I tried to look into the lives of various people from different countries, religions, beliefs or occupation. Some who fell in love early, some who never got married, some from the countries of highest satisfaction index like Switzerland or some from countries like Afghanistan. We as humans aren’t designed to live a life of simplicity, our physical being isn’t designed or evolved for that. We as apes had a strong drive and mental capability (which kept on increasing) to make our work simpler, but it wasn’t because we wanted a simple life instead it was there, to enable us to do more and more things in one life we got. It is said that “there is no end to a man’s greed”, and it’s true. If you look at the bigger picture of things and life you will get to know everyone is greedy in some way, and it’s is good for the development and survival of humanity. For instance, if you take a man in front of a starving tiger, that man wil...
