I will never forgive edge for what it did to me. I thought edge was the safest on my pc with serious strict security settings. But i don't know how it happened and i got ransomeware and my firewall was very secure. I was just lucky i kept most of my files on local disk password protected

Your problem was not edge but you and the sites you visited.

Learn to accept responsibilities for your actions.

I stopped using chrome when the new edge was released in 2019. It's just better, cleaner and it is less RAM hungry. I juggle both browsers on my Android sha.

Google will definitely loose a fair share of their Chrome users with the new bing side bar also. It's very very helpful especially if you write a lot of emails daily.

Chrome is the best.

Advantage are numerous.

But security wise, use another browser.

Edge marketer you won

Resource Consumption. While both are significantly fast browsers, Edge might have a slight advantage. Based on a test in which six pages were loaded on each browser, Edge used 665MB of RAM, while Chrome used 1.4 GB. This would make a significant difference for systems running on limited memory.

Brave is my favorite browser but I still use Chrome because of extensions.

Another advantage of Edge is that you can use Chrome web store in addition to Microsoft store.

Brave is actually more secure... they take privacy seriously

I think edge is innocent here.
The thing is, you clicked something (a file or link).
Assuming it was a link, same would have happened with chrome or Firefox.
Re: I Stopped Using Google Chrome by Ahdunns(m): 9:12pm On Apr 01, 2023
Yen yen yen.
BRAVE BROWSER is better than that edge whatever.

Very strong security system.
Even has a crypto wallet.
Many other cool stuffs also
