Microsoft Edge faster than Chrome?!

[Guest]

Hi,

Well yeah, the title says it all, your probably thinking, Ryze are you insane?

Well, a few minutes ago I was raging about Chrome not opening a page for 20 minutes, I thought to myself screw this, I'll google it on Edge, BOOM 2 seconds, results came up.

 

How is this so? Did Microsoft Edge improve this much?

for me Chrome is faster than edge, you might have some issues with your chrome browser.

For me Edge loads YouTube faster than Chrome does. I still dont use Edge, only when Chrome refuses to load above 480p on a 120mbps connection.

That is a bug. I wouldn't call Windows XP faster because it opened My Computer faster than Windows 10 which got Windows Explorer in Not responding due to some reason.

Firefox > all.

This is just an assumption of mine, but Chrome may perform better on higher end machines as it has room for its CPU and Ram hungry reputation while Edge will run better on more meager machines. Remember, this is just an assumption and I run neither of the two most of the time.

I do on my phone sometimes

Honestly, Chrome has been a shit fest as far as performance goes for awhile. Edge being faster isn't surprising to me.

Well with iOS, all of the browsers have to use webKit, so performance is identical but the functionality can change. On android, we can use different rendering technologies if we so wish (And the browser provides it)

well yeah but in comparison to Safari none of the browsers offer anything. 

 

Safari has iCloud tabs, reader mode, adBlock, in line video, a much better tab system than any browser ive seen, offline reader mode and etc. 

 

No reason to use other rendering technologies tbh. Although I do have a flash browser that I never use.

Why? It doesn't do anything that Safari doesn't do better.

To be honest, I still prefer Chrome because in my experience with Edge, webpages will sometimes refuse to load, even on my more than capable machine.

Just cause of Google Sync to my PC

Oh well I keep Chrome on my phone if I ever need a tab that I had open, but tbh my PC is just a Netflix and Gaming machine now. I do everything on my MacBook.
