I agree. But sometimes your pages won’t load with Firefox. For you and me it’s great. We can get around it. For your parents and grandma’s, it’s a nightmare.

ive heard of that, but ive never had that happen? stock firefox seems to load everything for me, but maybe its due to spoofing a chrome useragent, or bc i tend to avoid sites like that. librewolf with default setttings, or hardened firefox is admittedly pretty buggy for a lot of websites. i would say brave is an easy upgrade from other chromiums, for family members, but i still think stock firefox is alright for that too

I’m a WEB UX designer that helps with testing new pages and Firefox sometimes doesn’t render things that all the other browsers can.

Firefox is great for privacy but shit is buggy.

Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

Isn’t chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

When I see the current version of Edge I’m reminded of those bloatware-packed OEM Windows preinstalls adding useless toolbars to Internet Explorer, except this time it’s a sidebar.

I’m disappointed, and when asked by people I recommend replacing Edge. Preferably with Firefox, but even Chrome is better.

It’s like saying Mac OS is just a Linux distro. It’s similar but actually pretty different when it comes to how it manages its memory.

Edge is my daily driver and has been for a couple of years. Seems faster than Chrome, but maybe that’s just my perception.

I think these haters are hating because Microsoft. Or, they’re too ignorant to realize Edge is Chrome under the hood.

I wouldn’t have a problem with Edge if it wasn’t always running in the background, it’s quite spooky. Not to talk about when it gives me the popups to not change the browser, it is my computer and I will do what I want with it

Firefox always runs in the background on my PC also. I’m sure there’s a way to disable it, but by default it’s always there.

Not sure if it really could be faster than Chrome since they share the same web renderer (chromium) but Edge is definitely better optimised than Chrome when it comes to memory usage since MS has a better understanding of how its own OS works on a lower system level.

I also own a Chromebook and their Chrome browser blows on it. So ya.

We use Edge in our company for the integration since off of our users are on 365.

On some hold outs that kept trying to cling on to Chrome, I just changed the beachball shortcut on their desktop to open Edge instead. None of them have noticed the change over a year later.
