Edge was good at first, Microsoft was on right track with a good basic web browser baked into Windows. But then Microsoft began their ruination of Edge like they do with so many products and now have bloated up Edge with so much useless features that it’s my least favorite browser again. Seems like people at Microsoft can’t help but screw up a good thing.

Chrome become a bloatware eating resource, so I stopped using it a long time ago as a web developer.

In reply to Jeff. Hi Jeff, I understand your pain and totally relate to it. There could be various reasons why Chrome will have such an issue like, extensions, browser cache, etc. Anyways, you can check these troubleshooting articles that we have published. 1.

I’ve been a long-time Chrome User, at least 12 years. Recently starting in 2022 Chrome tabs started freezing, or the entire browser froze or crashed when I had a lot of tabs open (running on Windows 10). I found that it seemed to happen whenever my physical memory use went over 70%. So I switched to edge and opened the same tabs and it pushes total physical memory use to 66% instead of 71% Interestingly, trying to open chrome at all and load one tab when I’m over 70% the browser always crashed (without and without hardware acceleration enabled.)

It seems there is either a memory management bug in Chrome, or Chrome keeps a separate copy of the Chromium framework which has become corrupt or something but whatever it is, an uninstall, re-install doesn’t fix it.

So after all these years I’m forced to switch to Edge and I am enjoying the slightly faster performance and much improved reliability with all the same extensions since it runs on the Chromium framework now. Google Drive and Docs seem to work the same as in Chrome with all the same right-click Drive-specific context menus. So at this point I see no major drawback to switching even though I’m a Google Ecosystem person, not a Microsoft Office/One Drive person.

Chrome can’t watch some videos on youtube and FB. Never found this issue on Edge.

I subscribe to Direct TV. In order to get Dish Anywhere to play on my computer, I have to have Chrome. I am referring to shows that I had recorded using their box. Why won’t they allow me to use edge

I like both and I use edge for my windows, I use safari for ios, I use chrome on my laptop(linux user). What’s wrong with being different? to sync bookmarks and password managers I use the 3rd app because I think it’s better than the default even though there is an additional cost.

My opinion is different OS, different performance.

I was really disappointed with chrome for a few months. After reading the whole article and comments, still, I’m not able to select one for my windows 10 lappy, my lappy has 4 GB of ram and 1000 HDD, can anyone suggest to me which one is best?
