Google Chrome

Chrome used to be a fast engine but now has memory leaks and massive crashing issues. It has not been updated in years which allowed every other browser to catch up to it and pass it. People only use Chrome because it used to be good so many years a... go more

Those biased descriptions make me laugh. Anyways I use Chrome because its interface is pretty good and it's widely used. It also has some helpful plugins/addons. There's a few issues, but overall I prefer it to anything else.

I prefer Google Chrome due to the fact that it is more flexible with your opinion on how you want a web browser. you can add proxxy's (or however you spell it) to enhance your browser. it can also link to your accounts on social medias, emails, etc. so everything will be all together and easy to find.

Microsoft Edge's lack of extensions really kills the browser in my opinion. Been using Chrome for years and loving how it syncs across all my devices.

Most people who complain about chrome's usage of memory tend to have this problem because of their extensions (namely adblock plus). I use several extensions, namely ublock origin and tampermonkey and I never have problems with RAM usage. Being that I'm a tab-fiend, and use two monitors with multiple windows open, I still never have lag or memory limitations with chrome. I also never crash with it, which is something I can't say about firefox. Besides, with chrome, every tab is its own process. If you crash one tab, only that tab dies. If you crash one tab with firefox, every other tab goes along with it. I'll admit that I don't use microsoft edge, as it has a less enjoyable interface and lacks the add-ons I need. Firefox used to be my go-to browser until they shifted to that god awful chrome lookalike ui. Instead I use cyberfox with the old fashioned ui. Cyberfox is a very solid browser, especially since 50 tabs don't turn into illegible pins. Instead you can scroll through your tabs (horizontally). I also like how it takes up less screen real estate than chrome. However, I tend to only use cyberfox for schoolwork or viewing pdf files. I will state that cyberfox is the best browser to use if you have a 144hz monitor. Firefox's implementation of smooth scrolling is unmatched.

Well, as usual its hard to be black and white about this. Edge is (going to be) a great improvement in how you work with the web. Chrome, for me, was a great improvement in striped down standards compliant browsing. Chrome has lost a lot of that. For Chrome to fulfill some of its expectations, it has naturally grown more complex, and added problems. Short answer, Microsoft is doing just about the coolest stuff right now. Edge is a part of this. The negativity that floats around IE is hang-over and biases carried from experiences decades old.

I want smooth fast simple and secure. You compromise on all of those things if you try to attain any of them in Chrome and Firefox. Plug-ins are the devil. The most striped down and fast versions of both Chrome and Firefox are only marginally faster and take a huge hit in security. And the interface is clean clean clean with Edge.

Edge can be a hundred times faster than Chrome and it means nothing. You are bombarded with ads and the only useful app you can get, the one that removes the ads, you pay for every year.
