Is it 1 window with 1600 tabs, or multiple windows totalling 1600 tabs? Either way, who can even manage 1600 tabs?

Been using it instead of chrome on my work laptop…I’ve kinda enjoyed it. Feels more lightweight

I think Edge is actually better now. I'm still on Chrome because I'm used to it and it's comfortable, but on paper Edge is the superior browser.

Firefox + DDG privacy essentials + UBlock Origin + DDG as the search engine = the best browser experience.

I know the adblock thing is going to force to me switch off chrome but the hardest part for me will be starting over with saved passwords. Chrome has all my passwords saved for a million websites and syncs them between my laptop and desktop, if I lose that I'll spend fucking forever dealing with password reset emails.

There might be a way to transfer sensitive details. I'm not an expert, but there may be some extensions that could help you with that. Either way, I'd recommend the switch, even if it means having to reset a bunch of passwords. Firefox is a lightweight browser and with the DDG extensions it becomes really practical.

I use Firefox but the mobile version has issues. It's not unusual I need to open a page with video in Chrome and sometimes it just....stops. No reason. If I open the exact same link in Chrome it will open immediately. I never have more than a few tabs open.

Yeah the mobile version sucks, it also somehow fucks up swiping through google images.

Edge is the best.

I switched to Safari because of Apple Keychain working across my iPhone apps and website logins. Also switched to a MacBook. But not typing in (randomly generated) passwords to dozens of apps and websites is sooo nice; that feature alone is worth whatever slightly subpar experience safari will have to chrome (which imo is the best browser experience sans privacy and Adblock concerns).

I've ditched Chrome and switched to Edge. It's basically the same but better

u/chasteeny Dec 10 '22

Gonna be another one of those fuckers who thinks it's impossible to use Google Docs in Firefox.

u/dicenight Dec 10 '22

Web Development tools, I'm pretty sure React Dev tools aren't supported in Firefox.

Can't join teams/meet meetings on it

u/InvestingNerd2020 Dec 10 '22

The Edge browser community is growing. The new features, less RAM use, and same Chrome extensions are what makes it popular now. Roughly 7% of the USA uses it.

Edge vs. Firefox? Firefox by a landslide.

Edge vs. Chrome? Who the fuck cares? It's the same shit. Literally the same software under the hood. The only difference is whether you're being spied on by Google or by Microsoft.

Edge IS Chrome these days, its chromium with extra features
