Is it a complete joke browser? Or are there actual good aspects to it?
>>
i've tried pretty much every browser that i could find
the sad/funny part is that Edge is the best one
but it sucks. they all suck

second closest is Vivaldi, but it's laggy/glitchy and constantly deletes my tabs and tab groups and also doesn't save history properly
>>
It's better than Firefox, that's for sure
>>
>>107488949
If chrome didn’t devour ram like an American at a buffet it would be fine
Yea I know it spies, but they all fucking do
>>
>>107488971
i would use chrome if it had vertical tabs and tab stacks or tab groups or tab containers or tab trees
>use this extens-
no
>>
I'm forced to use it on work PCs. It does its job, but on my personal PCs, I don't use Microshit anything if there's an alternative that works as well. I wish LibreOffice was perfectly compatible with Office so I could ditch it.
>>
>do clean install of windows 10
>have to use Edge to install chrome
>search “chrome”
>giant ad at the top of the page
>”edge has all the features of chrome AND it’s got that Microsoft support too!”
>set chrome to default browser
>it cries at me again to not switch from Edge
Lmao, it’s so tragic I almost feel sorry. It’s like nobody picking the fat kid for the football team
>>
You can use it to download Firefox
>>
>>107488887
If you ignore all of the MS garbage + Copilot in it, yes, it's legit the best option but only on Win10/11, it out-does Chrome & Brave in every aspect.
>>
>>107488887
I like it more than chrome
>>
>>107488971
>Yea I know it spies, but they all fucking do
the raped mindset

>B-BUT MOOOOM I NEED MY BROWSER TO PERFORM 0.001s FASTER IN THIS FAKE BENCHMARK TO BROWSE MY TEXT BASED IMAGEBOARDS
>>
“Edge” is such a shit name. All I can think is 2edgy4u, and people in a boardroom trying to think of something snappy for the youth
It was smart to distance the name from Internet Explorer, but they could’ve picked something better

wut

>Is it a complete joke browser? Or are there actual good aspects to it?
Edge is okay iv'e been using it for the last couple of years since windows 10 and after using every other single web browser out there i always find myself coming back to edge and once you customise it to your liking you'll find it pretty hard to use anything else
>>
>>107489062
Chrome is the same as edge in fact they are both built on chromium edge is objectiviely better because it's built into windows and actually remember your last saved tabs which google sucks at and always has
>>
>>107488887
Chromium
Edge = Chromium + Microsoft accounts
Chrome = Chromium + Google accounts
Yandex = Chromium + Yandex accounts
Opera = Chromium + Opera accounts
Vivaldi = Chromium + Vivaldi accounts
Brave = Chromium + (optional BraveSync key, no mandatory external account)
>>
>>107489062
Adreno(Chrome) does the same when visiting the jewgle extension stor3 using Brave.
Honestly, I'd rather use Edge than vanilla chrome knowing how demonic it is.

Lately I've switched back to FF (Zen) and found it to be very good.
>>
>>107488887
The android version is just a bloated frontend GUI for Android system webview
>>
sometimes the pdf viewer is better than chromes
sometimes it's not though
>>
>>107489560
Imagine actually signing into your web browser
>>
>>107488887
its mostly shit because of the new tab page and no integration with google products. everyone and their mom uses google ecosystem, youtube, gmail, google search, google images, google maps, google drive, google docs/sheets, google translate, google password manager, etc yet with edge you're constantly nagged and forced into ms shit nobody uses
>>
It's a "default browser" for a reason. It gets you online, but if you want more features you need to get something else.

But it's good enough for me, I don't bother to download Firefox anymore and you can tell that no one is using Firefox anymore because of unfixed bugs due to the lack of devs.
>>
>>107488887
It used to have the greatest epub reader and then they killed it for no reason

It has the best TTS by far
>>
>>107491212
>but if you want more features
What features can Chrome or firefox give you that Edge doesn't? It's not internet explorer anymore
>>
Webkit fans anyone?
>>
when you think about it rationally firefox and its forks are the only option to chromium trash, but since /g/ is deep fried in chud ideology like the rest of this retarded website they have to pretend firefox is bad because it's developed by trannies and whatnot.
No, there is no usecase for edge nor for any microshit software as a matter of fact and the more people abandon chromium garbage the better.
>>
>>107491242
In terms of engine you don't get more, it's all about what a browser can do that can't be done with extensions, such as deep integration with search engines or advanced data management.

Browsers like Vivaldi can do things that Edge can't do if you want a more advanced browser.
>>
I tried using it recently, all of my videos were stuttering so I uninstalled it.
How is it possible to be a chrome skin and still being unable to play videos.
>>
It's bad now. I keep saying it, something went really wrong with Microsoft these past 5 years. I know Win10 wasn't perfect but there was a moment in like 2015-2017 where I was cruising with Win10 and Edge and happy to use it over the alternatives.
>>
>>107488887
its pretty good
>been using edge since windows 10 came out
>>107491212
for most users imo edge is pretty solid for that matter windows defender as well
i tried avast for a few days went back to defender shortly after
>>
>>107491205
Check out this faggot.
>>
>>107488971
>If chrome didn’t devour ram like an American
bro, let me tell you about firefox
>why wouldn't you use all your memory
because i need it for running the rest of my computer you fucking faggots
>>
>>107488949
>they all suck
sad but true
it's absolutely unreal that im using a browser made by microsoft, in this day and age
microsoft
i even recommended someone use safari because of a known bug that they ran into when using chrome on their macbook recently
>>107495934
firefox is well known for its multiple different and still to this day unfixed memory leaks
>>
>>107488887
Ironically, it was actually becoming a decent engine before they turned it into another chromium skin. Now it's just intrusive.
>>
I think it's fine. It's not Google and I prefer a minimalist approach by not having to install another browser I don't need.
>>
What the fuck happened to this place to recommend fucking ms shit
the only real normal option is firefox
>>
>>107488887
internet explorer is bloat
>>
>>107489279
html, css and js are all text
>>
>>107488887
It's a Chromium browser that supports Manifest V2 extensions like uBlock Origin (for now...). I like to use it as a shitpost browser on PC and the Android version is pretty nice too.
