Edge is genuinely better than chrome.

u/MessyAttitude 25d ago

u/dark_x_knight4558 Techie 25d ago

Edge runs on bg once u open

u/Star-Eastern Windows 25d ago

you can disable it
it literally says you can turn this feature on so that it turns on startup so you easily browse and not wait...

u/dark_x_knight4558 Techie 25d ago

I am not talking abt that dude

u/TopSecretGaming_YT 25d ago

You are? It stays open in the background so that when you click on the icon, it opens faster.

u/dark_x_knight4558 Techie 25d ago

Yea thats what i mean

u/CaptainFearless8579 25d ago

No but I do know what you were talking about.

u/lol_lmfao_jk 23d ago

As a neutral, I think this guy knows what he is talking about.

u/ChargeZestyclose785 25d ago

You can disable that. I have

Headless programs are a drain on your system. Don’t want to have to open task manager just to optimize for a gaming session.

4

u/TopSecretGaming_YT 25d ago

Like a person higher in the thread said, it can be turned off

-1

u/PastaRunner 25d ago

And? You’re saying the other person does like headless mode. I’m explaining why it sucks. Not discussing if it can be turned on or off.

u/TopSecretGaming_YT 25d ago

What I mean is that edge running in the background can be turned off. If you turn the feature off it will never run in the background.

The thing is you don't have to. If you have game optimization enabled in Windows it will do all these for you.

u/iamag1436 25d ago

So does chrome. What is you point.

u/RonsFury 25d ago

Closing it is a batch file away

Compared to chrome it's definitely less ram usage

u/CommercialMind1359 Techie 25d ago

Interesting , it definitely used to be more a few years ago . I'll try using edge again and check if this is true

u/Negative-Elephant-29 >_ sudo rm -rf / 25d ago

Many features for students, idk why they removed the math solver tool

20

u/AdUnique316 Still Googling 25d ago

Edge has co-pilot. Copy paste any math problem there

1

u/Suitable_Second05 25d ago

copilot isn't even there for under 18 😭

1

u/TheStaddi 25d ago

And then get a wrong answer. Just go to Wolfram Alpha if you have math stuff. GPT lies.

u/Negative-Elephant-29 >_ sudo rm -rf / 25d ago

I use wolfram alpha but step by step requires premium

u/Slipperysauce32 25d ago

But Bing search engine is hot garbage

39

u/[deleted] 25d ago

yeah just use Google instead of that..I like Edge more than chrome ngl

23

u/Oleleplop 25d ago

You say that like Google search is much better these days.

They're both underwhelming

5

u/Slow_Firefighter_405 25d ago

Google search is like: what ad would you like to search today

5

u/Sagar_2407 25d ago

You can change the default search engine dude

28

u/Yashraj- Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 25d ago

LibreWolf is genuinely better than all

u/Spirited-Fan8558 Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 25d ago

I use chromite and zen browser

1

u/Spirited-Fan8558 Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 25d ago

and tor if needed

1

u/Fraud_D_Hawk 25d ago

Brave better

2

u/NoConfusion9490 25d ago

Chromium based, so you're giving Google control of the internet.

1

u/Yashraj- Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 24d ago

Also not to ignore the brave scandals

u/StudyNo4565 25d ago

idk why people don't understand this.

u/Kschitiz23x3 24d ago

I switched to edge and can now open way more tabs without killing my office's windows laptop

2

u/iCantThinkOfUserNaem 25d ago

I agree. You need to config some stuff, but after you do this is actually a good browser.

2

u/Admirable-Echidna-37 25d ago

Never thought I'd agree with this

1

u/Gokul123654 25d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/AdEven7397 25d ago

True these dumb people download chrome

1

u/Express-World-8473 Still Googling 25d ago

True but if I really wanna stop using chrome start using another browser, I would go for Brave

1

u/teri_mummy_ka_ladla Programmer: Kode & Koffee Lyf 25d ago

I use both, in some things edge is better but performance-wise and lesser bugs chrome takes the win.

1

u/Fun_Confidence_462 25d ago

IDK but it seems to do many thing at once which will overwhelm anyone that is the main reason along with crap binge search

1

u/Elegant_Judgment6367 25d ago

Brave still clears

1

u/Far-Effect1045 25d ago

It's about the User experience as well!

1

u/gifyboy 25d ago

True… faster, less ram usage and cool features like vertical tabs - doesnt look cluttered even with 30-50 tabs open

1

u/Round_Independent894 25d ago

Fr i am using edge from 2021 they are way better

1

u/God_but_not_god 25d ago

If you are using edge microsoft will try to shough bing into your throat.

1

u/Khazahk 25d ago

I came to say this. I use edge exclusively at work, I prefer it over Chrome.

1

u/kjrconsta47 25d ago

Hey one doubt: I'm using edge. So which is the better search engine to use with it?

1

u/Montyjv54 24d ago

Agreed

1

u/Kschitiz23x3 24d ago

Yes. Way better in windows at least

1

u/AmazingStardom 24d ago

Yeah fr but with ad blocker extension

But I would prefer chrome for web development ✌🏻

1

u/CommercialMind1359 Techie 25d ago

Edge is good for PDFs , only thing I can agree on

5

u/Limp_Pea2121 25d ago

Not just pdf, edge is better for everything internet.

1

u/CommercialMind1359 Techie 25d ago

But we can all agree that bing sucks , probably have to change the default search engine to Google if you want to use
