Is Microsoft Edge actually better performing than Chrome now?

[Gravydoo II]

Thanks for the tip. Im going to try it. Firefox is ok but less ram is better.

Are you using the new Chromium-based Edge? That may explain your experience.

i have brand loyalty to the bone. I didn't give up IE until about 9 years ago. Chrome was amazingly faster at that point.

Is the jump to Edge going to be that much of a difference or only a slight difference?

i pulled the trigger and imported my bookmarks to see if any QoL drops after using for the next week or so. Once i signed into my regular bookmark apps(p99, twitch, youtube, gmail) they are all running quite a bit more smoothly it feels. And I would say the optimization for several other sites I've been to have been glaring, will have to test and feel it out.

I'd rather have my data snooped on by Google than by Microsoft.

Not that Google is any less evil than MS by now, but I put more trust in G to not to leak my data due to incompetence than in M.

ya butt microsoft is already sn00ping your data through the OS, so if you use edge you are ackchyually leaking it into one less pool.

Microsoft Edge is like Windows - waaaay too bulky for what it has to do.

Using Firefox always felt to me like trying to swim in mud, in your sleep. So freaking laggy.

Chrome, on the other hand, was snappy from the beginning. I started using it the very day it was released (back in 1936?) and never looked back.

Prior to Chrome I used Opera. I actually like Opera's mouse gestures very much, never found an good enough equivalent for Chrome/ium.

Nowadays, Chrome arguably uses way too much resources. Still feels fast though.
Not being able to use adblockers in Android's Chrome though forces me to use Android Firefox for things like Youtube or ad-heavy websites. I can't stand Youtube ads. Each time I hear "sure, skip this ad like you skipped on Amazon's stock" etc, I want to rip my guts out with a rusty corkscrew.
