Why Microsoft Edge is better than Chrome and Firefox

Just last week I finally got round to using Edge is my main browser on both desktop and portables. It renders and scales better than anything else out there - and so also thinks noted Chrome fan Leo Laporte at TWiT. I'm not a big extensions user so don't miss add-ins.

I do miss adblock .......

But yes also think it renders better than just about any other browser I have used. Not sure about the scaling though ..... do not have a smart phone (working one) to see what all the moans are about on mobile devices ...
 
We could ask the experts on the forum to be more specific about what they don't like about MS Edge I suppose.

For example, if we use the html5test as a reference , which specific "feature" or "attribute" another browser has, makes it more acceptable than MS Edge?

How can Chrome on Linux last 7h and Chrome on Windows 4.2h? That was my point...

Many, many reasons, not the least of which is very different hardware specifications, especially CPU and displays, which are very large users of power.

You seem to have a rather tenuous grasp of computers.

I'll stick with Chrome on my Win 10 64-bit Laptop. I have tried Edge but don't like it. Perhaps because I have used Chrome for years, on several PCs

I mostly use Chrome, but there are occasions where I switch to others if/when Chrome does not work well.

If Edge gives longer battery life, and Im running on batteries theres not reason for me not to use Edge. The only things I miss are one or two extensions, but apart from that Edge works well enough.
 
I agree Edge is faster, at least in one aspect: it ends my session faster. ;)

You're sounding a bit Edgy there ?

Chrome is cpu cycle for cpu cycle a better browser at present.

Edge is good for a developing product and improve over time. Chrome has issues, competition is good.

Windows 10 is superb, Edge needs to catch up.

Extension support in latest build is basic at best.
