    Microsoft Edge is a great browser

    Date: Oct 01 2021
    Summary

    Browsing, downloading, watching YouTube and all are the errands done by me utilizing Microsoft Edge. Microsoft Edge has been set as my default program for simple access and rapid perusing and downloading.even the web download chief programming itself isn't utilized for quick downloads, because Microsoft Edge itself has a fast downloading stage.

    Positive

    The manner in which the Microsoft has changed its default program is most certainly calculable. Edge no longer feels obsolete. Synchronization across cell phones is a pleasant touch. Its memory utilization is exceptionally less when contrasted with Chrome. I use Edge even to open pdfs.

    Negative

    It is not Google Chrome. It doesn't have the simple client capacity that different programs give.

    Putting up a good fight!

    Date: Jun 09 2021
    Summary

    Microsoft is putting up a good fight for providing a top web browser. By building upon the open source chrome browser code, MS effectively is replacing their problem child internet explorer with a capable alternative to Chrome and Firefox. However, with their own extension store and other Microsoft integrations, there is the chance to be tied to the Microsoft framework.

    Positive

    -competitive speed
    -supports chrome extensions
    -good level of customization
    -replaces internet explorer and integrates well in windows 10

    Negative

    -edge extensions vs. chrome extension can be confusing
    -not available on linux
    -integration with Microsoft services creates light dependency

    Browsing memory.

    Date: Oct 01 2021
    Summary

    I think it works pretty well. I haven’t had any reason to install any other browser as of yet. I think it was an improvement over the first iteration of Edge, because there were some compatibility issues that lingered, and the information security team at my previous job would simply just not sign off on it as “secure”. I think that might have been because the web development team did not really want to code for that rendering engine, but I would only be speculating if that was the case. I use the Chromium based Edge both on my windows pc and on my Macbook, and I really have not run into any issues with it just far.

    Positive

    I’ve never been a fan of the way any Chromium based browser renders webpages, so by extension, i’m not a fan of the new Edge browser. The effort made to distinguish it from, well, chrome has been disappointingly minimal; it is, by appearance, chrome with a different logo and extra addons. A byproduct of the unfortunate, almost defeatist, direction the company has chosen to take I am writing this answer based on my personal experience of using Edge and I found Edge performs faster than chrome in terms of less memory occupancy. Moreover Edge is crashing very frequently when I am using it and Microsoft has a long way to go.

    Negative

    But Chrome is still better due to its simple design and user friendliness, of course slows down your system like never before.

    Cutting-EDGE browser

    Date: Dec 06 2020

Syncing with Microsoft account gives you great adaptable features, as well as promises privacy. I love the reading lists feature, and the filters in downloaded files. It also consumes less memory comparatively.
