Doesn't work in Edge from 1809 onwards.

The Edge engine is being replaced by the god awful Chromium engine in the next version of Win10, so I'd highly recommend Internet Explorer or Firefox as your default browser.

Oh wonderful (insert rolling eyes emoji)

I got the impression that IE was getting to the point that it was no longer as secure as it should be ??
Would you go for Firefox instead ?

I'm personally browsing this site with IE. IE is fine, just ensure the monthly Windows updates are applied promptly.  Most of its insecurities come from the 3rd party plugins like Flash, rather than IE itself.

As always, doesn't matter how big you think you are, never ever ever run with an Administrative account (on any OS), use a limited account, and require a password protected admin account when its needed....   ….and understand why its needed.

FF is fine, but again ensure its always updated, and be conscious of any plugins. And still don't run with an admin account.

I've tried Edge, Chrome and FF, but still keep coming back to IE.

Edge is OKish, Chrome is crap, FF again is crap, IE is stable.
