    I've been trying to like it but it does a lot of stuff that find annoying. I keep figuring that there will be a new lighter build eventually but we just keep going the other direction.

    One thing I like about the new Edge is that it has updated several times and I have never noticed. FF likes to punch you in the face every time it updates.

    Edge is 64-bit but is installed in Program Files (x86) for reasons of "compatibility" (like Google Chrome it seems)

    I really don't care about that. I hate stuff that interferes with day to day usage like 5 billion icons I wont ever use in my start menu. I do modify my OS to remove all of the apps I wont ever touch but junk files in the background, I don't really care. Its probably been a decade since I have seen storage over 50% full.

    How to enable DNS over HTTPS in the latest Edge Chromium (Canary) version? I researched via Google and it said to use "edge://flags/#dns-over-https" , but that does not work... "Secure DNS lookups" line does not exist...

    Does it have it enabled by default?

    Are you sure this really forces DNS over HTTPS as a default browser behavior? If it does it seems almost certain Microsoft will 'fix' this immediately, or has plans to sell DNS tracking telemetry... Oh wait, Microsoft would never do that, that would be wrong...

    Thanks. I noticed that Quic feature in Chrome actives MS Windows 10 WinQuic driver, but Edgium does not, even with that option enabled in flags... Perhaps Windows 10 WinQuic driver is activated through .exe name or something like that, but it definitely stays turned off when the latest Canary version of Edgium launches. I have it set to "Start on Demand". Chrome forces that driver to start, but Edgium does not. Firefox does not start that driver either.

    Is it possible to test if WinQuic is fully working?

    Also, how do I create a shortcut for Edgium's Private/Incognito Mode?

    It's straight from the horse's mouth, MS release notes, I would take it as a fact. However, it could be the general availability version from windows update or the official download to behave like this, not the preview edge you have installed and that is being updated on it's own, to be now stable edge, as it may remember the settings that you have the old edge. I'm sure that the release they talk about does behave like this.

    you can, the simplest way; Microsoft Edge with commandline = msedge.exe --enable-quic --quic-version=h3-25

    --- open youtube page, right mouse click on it and select Inspect go to >> Network, click on Disable cache
    under Protocol you will see similar to this on picture . If the Protocol is not available to you right mouse click on Name columns and on the window enable Protocol

    --- maybe this is still too much information from one, yes, i'm quite sure, it's too much for you at once.

    I prefer to stay with classic edge forever (Until MS will end updates for this browser).
    The Favorites in there is more comfortable than the new Favorites in Edge Chromium.
