Microsoft Edge is better than Chrome and Firefox

r/

I know Edge has been getting hate since it was Internet Explorer, and for good reason. But I’ve been using MS Edge for the past 2 years, and it’s a breathe of fresh air. It doesn’t use as many resources as Chrome, and it’s integration is better than Firefox.

And with UBlock Origin being removed from Chrome and YT slowing down Firefox, Edge is now officially the king of web browsers, in my opinion.

    How much are you being paid for this?

    We found coupons!
    CoPilot is here! Oh you’re not using the button? Here’s a fucking toolbar on the side!
    Did you sync to your OneDrive yet?
    We added some extra buttons if you select text. Try using CoPilot by the extra new button, just in case the button at the top and the sidebar weren’t convenient enough!
    We put some sponsored content on the new tab page for you. Your preferences had disabled that but we thought you’d like them so we changed them back. You can still change your preferences until we change them again.
    Hey, we made an update! Here’s what’s new. Sorry you can’t go to the browser yet until you click “Next” through these dialogs. We changed our privacy policy, because of the new CoPilot features!

    I used Edge daily, the main problem I have right now is

    1. downloading certificate is not possible, I have to use Chrome. If it is possible, I couldn’t find the button.

    2. i cannot remove the remembered password individually. So, when I accidentally typed the password in the username, I have to wipe the entire password storage.

    I mainly use Firefox, but Edge is great too. MUCH easier on RAM, and has Copilot built-in. Nice if you’re using an LTSC version of Windows 11/10. Though Firefox has built-in support for many chatbots, including GPT and HuggingFace. Maybe I’ll switch to Edge in a few years? It’s not likely though.

    I don’t mind it. It is the default browser I use at work.
    I use it on my windows laptops because I feel like it saves a little bit of battery.

    Firefox is pretty nice though!

    Chrome is whack sauce.

    Edge has been fantastic for years but everyone is obsessed with chrome they don’t want to switch

    Edge is chrome with a coat of paint. Literally, they both are just chromium.
