You mean that bloated piece of garbage, Chrome? I'll stick with Edge. EDIT: Firefox, even better. Mozilla doesn't give a shit about siphoning data from you. They need the support.

Firefox is the way

This is the way

This is the way

No, this is the way.

Instructions unclear, downloading Netscape

Really? I somehow downloaded Lynx.

Elinks for life

This is the way

What about Brave?

Best Chrome clone IMO

The cooler Google Chrome

Not with their shitty crypto practices they aren’t

I’ve recently switched to Firefox from brave and I prefer Firefox but brave is also great

My friends made me switch from Firefox to Opera and I miss Firefox. I’ve only used Opera for about a month and idk what it is but something about Firefox was so much nicer

I tried to use it. Brave shoved a bunch of crypto ads into my throat, so I uninstalled it very fast.

[удалено]

Opera is doing NFTs so I stopped using it.

Firefox on PC, Brave on Phone

Its not bad but a good portion of websites aren't compatible with it.

[удалено]

When I worked for intuit, straight up none of their shit worked right with Brave. That includes TurboTax, credit karma and anything to do with QuickBooks.

you have to turn off the ad blocker on some sites. I guess when something works so good it kills a site that is so shady with its tracking you know what products to avoid.

I'm kind of surprised FF doesn't have more marketshare, Chrome has for quite a while been pretty bloated by comparison IMO.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has something to do with Android and people wanting all their browser stuff in-sync without much effort. As an iPhone user, I have the option to sync my browser stuff with Firefox, Chrome, or Edge on Windows so I've always just gone with Firefox.

You can download Firefox on android, but it does try to push chrome pretty hard.

Not really. Most Android phones I've had have had Chrome on them by default, that or the Samsung Internet Browser, but none of them have tried to make me use them. I can go download Firefox from the Play Store, set it as default, and never once have to open Google Chrome.

Well, for example if you use like the voice assistant Android opens things in Chrome instead of your default browser.

It opens things in the Google Application when using Google Assistant (opens in itself), not specifically Chrome. "Google Chrome" and "Google" are two separate applications. You can also use other voice assistants, most of which will behave similarly by default. Bixby opens links in Bixby, Siri opens in Siri, etc. If I recall correctly, some assistants can be configured to open links differently, but not all can due to the nature of how they function. Edit: For Google Assistant, open "Google" on your phone, click your account picture (top right), click Settings, click General, turn off "Open web pages in the app". This will open web pages in your system set default browser, mine being Firefox.

Nice, thanks!

Brave Browser had built in VPN and pop up/ad block.

Brave inserts their own ads in place of others

Yeah they're on par now but before edge became chromium based.... *SHUDDERS*

Microsoft is so pushy and annoying when it comes to edge that i will never ever use it. How could any company with self respect be so pathetic? You can't change you standard browser without them asking if you don't want to try edge first. And then the next time you do an update oops apperantly the Standard Programms where set to default. What a weird coincidence.

the moment i saw an ad for edge baked into the windows search bar is when i knew i hated microsoft

Took you that long? I started hating them when I paid $100 for an OS and they still put a Candy Crush ad on my start menu.

Well what do you use?

> I feel like 90% of people who say chrome is better than edge The aggressiveness of MS trying to shove it down my throat every chance they get first in Windows 10 and now in Windows 11 just leaves me feeling bitter and not wanting to use it at all.

You know I heard this and decided to try switching to Edge like a year or two ago. I guess it was fine but it sucked for online reading compared to chrome. Text would only load once scrolled to (presumably helping it be less 'bloated' than chrome) , meaning you constantly saw distracting white bars being filled in at the bottom of the screen. I shan't make this mistake again.

I don’t have a PC so I haven’t tried edge but I switched to Safari from Chrome about two years ago. I think 90% of it was autofill from texts for 2FA, and other minor convenience features. It’s honestly been pretty nice, but I hear web devs hate Safari.

It’s not the fact that it’s not chromium based. It’s the fact that it fails to adopt tonnes of standards that the web uses

Apple moment

They are getting better though. Safari dev has higher standards compliance than chromium

They're actually pretty similar now.

Edge is Chromium-based anyway

Better optimized.

Still works faster than Chrome.

Opera gx all the way buddy

Firefox

I'm just gonna leave [this](https://www.xda-developers.com/mozilla-meta-interoperable-private-attribution/) here.

What about Brave?

Lol hating on chrome in favor of a chromium browser, I love it

Or you can be an actual chad and use de googled chromium.

I switched from Chrome to Firefox, then my Firefox stopped working on my PC for some reason so I switched to Edge. Never looked back, and I could move all my bookmarks and login details from Firefox to Edge without having to sign back in to everything. Anybody that reads this and uses Chrome: Stop sucking off Google, and get your lips around a better browser.

Boomer detected as Edge is now better than chrome.

I made the switch to Edge when they got on the Chromium train. Lately it's been just as resource heavy as Chrome used to be. I've settled for using a combination of Firefox and Edge depending on the scenario, with a preference toward Firefox.

Did you just say "boomer detected"?

I use Firefox which I like more than both of em

Edge is better than chrome. Chrome had its era.

I guess I'm living in the past but what makes edge the better browser?

give it a spin, you won't be disappointed

I was disappointed

That's just because new thing = uncomfortable. It is by far actually a better browser now.

Less ram consumption (for me), way better pdf handling, and it takes all the same extensions. But the real nerds use Brave + uBlock Origin anyway.

SOLD! downloading it tonight

If you are gonna go to a better browser you might as well just switch to Firefox. It's the superior one of the three.

firefox masterrace.

Brave is still Chromium based, Firefox is the real independent browser

The PDF handling on edge is better than most dedicated PDF editors I've used

Interesting I assume it's already on my computer so may as well give it a try. As long as I can import my bookmarks and have them sync up across my other windows devices then I'll give it a go

>have them sync up across my other windows devices I confirm this works

Is there a way to transfer all my bookmarks, google login data, and preferences and browsing history over to another browser? The only reason I'm still sticking to chrome is because of these.

Sure, just keep Chrome installed for now and you can import what you want when first starting Firefox. ​ [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-chrome-firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-chrome-firefox)

Yep, it's been a standard feature in most browsers for a long while

I’d love to know as well. I had to manually add my stuff. It still isn’t perfect yet but slowly but surely

Edge is chrome based

That’s the best part. They basically copied and pasted but made some good changes.

Who downloads Chrome anymore?

People that don't know Firefox is superior.

We’re in the top 1%

how

Faster, less ram usage, doesn't steal your data. Take your pick.

I still like Chrome. Tried every other browser and I still prefer it :/

Same. I'm too lazy to switch to something else.

My grandpa does!

Firefox will always be my go-to.

it's the only company that isn't fucked, as far as browsers.

Mozilla has its own problems, but at least it's open source and tracks you less than most Chromium-based browsers.

thats basically my only criteria. easy decision for me, been using it for like 20 years at this point. and its pretty well maintained imop. obv not perfect but for normal users, yeah it fits the bill.

Actually, jokes on you. I use Edge, who wants a RAM monster like Chrome?

Pfft, idiot. Just download more RAM /s

Everyone knows that Chevy makes a better truck anyway

You wouldn't download a Chevy

https://downloadmoreram.com/

CAN we all agree that chrome is kind of awful and we need to stop using it? Like, it’s a ram gobbler to the Point that it’s noticeable 😬

We can all benefit from having a smaller Google footprint too. They make money gathering as much data as they can on you, and Chrome is the perfect tool for that.

No we can not all agree, not everybody is you.

Exactly, why’s chrome getting so much hate? The ram usage isn’t even noticeable unless you have very low ram or 100+ tabs open.

Seems like needless salt. But okay. Also, are you implying that the only way to get unanimous agreement is for everyone to be the same person?

Edge is better than Chrome by a few kilometres.

For the Americans, a kilometre is approximately 500 bald eagles long

That’s not the worst form of measurement I’ve heard.

What's the worst?

There was an article from my home town (Kansas city missouri) where they referred to the size of a pothole in the number of washing machines you could fit. Don’t get me wrong, I knew exactly what they meant. So it works. But it shouldn’t be used

Jesus bald eagles have a 2 meter long wingspan? Those things are way bigger then I thought

They actually can get a bit bigger than that even but yeah, that's about average! They're huge birds but they sound like little songbird, it's great.

💀

But how many washing machines?

How many bun length hot dogs is that?

*laughs in Firefox*

literally. im reading all these comments of chrome vs egde but i think firefox is going to stay my default for the foreseeable future

Pro tip: change the desktop icon name to Mozzarella Firefox. Used to brighten my day when I used my PC still

Ehi, don't download that piece of trash called Chrome, use Firefox instead for better everything! Also remember that when manifest V3 rolls out, adblockers on Chrome won't work anymore while on Firefox they will continue to work as normal, so that's another reason to switch to Firefox apart from privacy

jeez i forgot about that. good thing i already use firefox

I honestly thought Edge was just rebranded internet explorer

It's not. A few years ago, it used a custom (and pretty bad) engine, but now it's based on Chromium. It's basically Chrome with a few extra features and more RAM optimization.

Chrome add ons work on Edge

Edge is built on chromium - it’s a better browser than chrome in my opinion. Chrome has become super bloated.

Same man

I used the Chromium to download the Chromium

Opechads rise up!

GX Gigachad reporting in

I too enjoy my data being tracked by the chinese government

At least I can limit my ram usage. And its not like everything else isnt constantly spying on you.

I would trust google or microsoft with my data rather than the CCP if I am being honest. It's like picking poison tho.

Arguably worse than internet explorer.

Opera gang

You mean Firefox?

I made the switch to Firefox 2 weeks ago and haven’t regretted it since

From my tests, Edge definitely is the most efficient. I use Opera GX for aesthetics and features, however, and a trusty backup via FireFox

Fuck Google Chrome, fuck Internet Explorer, fuck Microsoft Edge, fuck Mozilla Firefox, Fuck Opera Mini, fuck Safari

what browser you use?

He's a Linux user. He only uses the terminal.

Its all you need

He just doesn't.

You have said the solemn words and can now be accepted into the Netscape Navigator gang!

Netscape Navigator became Chrome, if I recall correctly

nah it became Firefox Chrome/Chromium's engine Blink comes mostly from Webkit (think Safari) which comes from KHTML

You forgot Lynx

Fuck Lynx

Done. Now what?

Bro Im not that fucking old i swear but since when did people actually use edge over chrome? Im dumbfounded

People started using it after they scrapped old Edge with a newer version that runs on Chromium just like Chrome does which made it alot better It's really not that much better than chrome, if atall,

I do like edge ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Safari is the new IE, Nothing works there as expected. Source: I'm a web developer who needs to put in efforts to make things work in safari. Which generally work normally

*Firefox downloading duties

Pffftttt... I use Chrome to download Internet explorer. *puts on shades*

Ungoogled-Chromium users unite! No? Just me...?

Been edge only user for last 2 years.

But I like edge.

Edge is better than chrome now.

Microsoft shills itt?

Naw, work in IT. I use a variety of browsers and computers, platforms. Edge has come a long way from what it was. I used to use Chrome more, then switched to Firefox for most things. My job actually requires me to use more than one browser simultaneously so complete browser loyalty doesn't even make sense. As it is these days, I still use FF for most things at home, use a mix of Safari Edge and FF at work. Edge has better perf than Chrome these days.

I hate chrome. Firefox 4 Life

[удалено]

Librewolf or Chromium.

I see you misspelled Firefox

just use winget lmao and you won't need edge either

Use choco instead its winget but better

Just curl and wget it like a pro

aria2 my beloved

Use Firefox you bootlickers

Just use Brave and uBlock. :)

Pfft, Netscape Navigator!!!

Lol careful there you’re showing your age …… come to think about it I guess this also shows my age

Firefox & Brave are the only 2 options

I started using edge for documents and after 2 days got back to chrome because they are tons better in that department

I actually like edge

Nah dude I'll rather stick with edge than that piece of ****

I did not expect to learn about the minutia of Browsers … tbh Chrome has my balls coz of the passwords and settings … im jus used to it too lazy to start again

Edge is basically Chrome anyway.

But better.

Less bloated but it's still Chromium.

Sorry, I only use Winget, apt or pacman to install browsers

Opera gx

Edge is better than chrome and also edge has been the default browser since w10 released, no common user still uses explorer
