What I like about it is that I can stream Netflix in HD using this browser. And since i usually watch on my desktop computer which has a big screen i really need an HD streaming. And Internet Explorer can do that job unlike other browsers which i wont be naming."

Sure you can watch Netflix here until 720p resolution only but if you want an 1080p that is impossible. But i dont really care about that as long as what i am watching is not blurred i am totally fine so yeah"

Of course you need a good internet connection to be able to watch a full HD movie or series on Netflix though because we all know that Netflix lowers the quality of its video when you have a slow net"

If i am not mistaken only three web browsers support HD or 1080p resolution when streaming Netflix. Good thing i have the Edge browser. YAY ME!!"
