![]() ![]() ![]() excellent sync features that run though iCloud that also work on iOS and iPadOS.It’s light like safari (good battery life).If i were to make a wager, if you just want WebKit but dont like safari, i would make the argument that Kagi’s Orion is a good option. But, using Edge over the past week or so, have changed my mind.ĭo you use the Edge browser? How do you use it? What do you like about it? I always thought that Microsoft plays all their products on Apple platforms as an afterthought, except Outlook. ![]() If there are two things that Microsoft on Apple platforms is great at, one of them is Outlook, the other is Edge. Once you go through the settings on Edge, you will realise it has much more efficient ways of customising your browser compared to Chrome, out of the box. However, Edge is not as opinionated as Chrome is. More importantly, it has the same engine as Chrome, and works with Chrome extensions too. Sure, it's not like Safari when it comes to battery usage, but it's definitely not like Chrome, yet, it has everything that Chrome does, and more. ![]() Edge on Mobile does have Bing Chat AI now though.I think Microsoft Edge on macOS does not get the credit it deserves, and this post aims to give some :) It doesn't suck up on your battery like Chrome does. We haven’t noticed a significant push from Microsoft for it either.Ĭonversely, Google pays a whole lot of attention to Chrome on mobile, meaning updates and new features are guaranteed frequently and for the long haul. So, yeah, we’re not using Microsoft Edge on mobile and it seems like many others aren’t either. That puts it lower than Instabridge – heard of it? – at 0.08%. Edge though, it’s relegated to the “Other” section of Statcounter’s current results. Chrome is way ahead on mobileĪgain, popularity doesn’t mean much but Google Chrome has a whopping 64% of market share on mobile, with that big chunk missing due to the behemoth that is Apple. It takes up a bit of your web page real estate but it’s a smart change-up. Instead of your tabs being crammed, and we mean cramped if you’re tab hoarders like us, they are shifted to the left side in a much neater and clearer list. Vertical tabs are what it says on the tin. However, Microsoft has added a feature that might tickle an organisational scratch of yours, and that’s vertical tabs. With both browsers running on Chromium, the general experience is remarkably similar now, and that makes the switch to Microsoft Edge a much less daunting one if you’ve been one of the many long-time Chrome users and are now considering changing. Yes, we know, you’re probably yelling that “Bing is bad” towards us right now but, for your day-to-day searches, you’ll notice little difference beyond an interface that looks a bit different.Īs such it might come down to your preferences in terms of integration, like if you’re a fan of Google Maps or YouTube, for which Microsoft has little to compete with. Despite this, the experiences of searching in both are fairly similar. According to Statcounter’s most recent count, Google has around 93% of the market share, compared to just 2.8% for Microsoft Bing. Right now, Google Search is winning comfortably on sheer popularity. Microsoft Edge wins here if security and performance are key concerns of yours. Comparatively, Google Chrome blocked 88%. In a test that lasted 23 days, Edge managed to block 96% of socially-engineered malware attacks thrown at it – from malicious links to pop-ups. In a test carried out by NSS Labs, an independent company offering cybersecurity guidance, Microsoft Edge blocked a whole bunch more malware downloads and phishing attacks than its Google rival. Microsoft Edge also performs better on the security front. So, that’s Edge offers a speedier time for you and your browsing than Chrome. Neither was as fast as Apple’s Safari but that’s for a different browser fight-themed article. Internet security specialists Avast ran a series of tests to uncover the speediest web browser, and Edge won out against Chrome. If you care about speed, Microsoft Edge wins… but not by much. ![]()
