How is Edge under Chrome, when it is infinitely better xD

[Dylanm]

Safari is the new internet explorer. I work at a web dev company and every now and then my frontenders are in complete panic because something broke for safari users.

Edge can render the page in 3d you can see each div as its own layer so you know what's blocking that div

User:" how much ram do you need chrome?"
Chrome: "yes"

[DANetworkoficial]

edge is like Chrome but with better developer tools and doesn't eat your RAM

[me-shbf]

I love the Firefox Developer Edition and the TOR-Browser

[MikhaKey]

IE is kinda ok. Only if it got updated…

The read-aloud feature on Edge is awesome

My teachers already told us to use FireFox back in primary school. I went to a very small school on the countryside and that in Germany. I really apprechiate the amount of PC knowledge they already gave us back then. Very ahead of it's time in the early 2000s.

Here's why I use and always will be using Edge.
1. It has built-in AI, help me alot coding and troubleshooting.
2. Has unique features like collection which is kinda like a folder for tabs, you can open all the tabs inside of it in 1 click.
3. It now has workspace, you can invite people inside a workspace and all the tabs insode the workspace will be running in their PC as well.
4. Imo The UI is better than Chrome, eat less RAM & smoother more responsive system as compared to chrome.

To be honest I prefer Edge since it's already installed and has a solid user experience.

[medogerty]

Edge is literally chrome but better. I just switched recently. Kept all my chrome settings and now enjoy the benefits of edge.

Stopped using Firefox and Chrome ages ago. Now my primary is Brave for built-in privacy and ad blocker, and I use Edge a lot too for certain tasks such as the built-in text reader and Copilot.

"why would you choose edge over chrome":
Less resource consumption
More dev tools
Sidebar
AI (free gpt4)
Faster
More tools
VSCode integration
Edge + Chrome extensions
Slick design
Vertical tabs
EDIT: You may feel like that's bloat, that's fair if you don't use it, but people like me do, so for us it's not, also, I said OVER CHROME. Edge is NOT private, nor OpenSource, etc, etc. But here we are talking Edge vs Chrome that's why I listed features of edge OVER CHROME, not over other browsers.

Edge is the best for Dev work.
- Intergrations(general)
- Dev tools
- Optimisations
- Browser perks (minus setup)

Makes everything elses feel like how libraries feel in 2023, lol.

Chrome : "I'm Fastest".
Edge : "And i also"
Firefox : "I'm not sell your data".
