You should be thinking “Will microsoft edge beat chrome?”
Microsoft’s Edge browser has been releasing new features like crazy as it tries to beat market leader Google Chrome. Now, Microsoft has just announced a brilliant new feature that beats Google Chrome—Vertical Tabs, which moves the tab bar from the top to the left side in a vertical layout.
Is Microsoft Edge better than Google Chrome?
However, Microsoft Edge is better, faster, and more secure than Google Chrome, which is why it’s my default browser. Because the old Edge is still available in Windows 10, Microsoft has changed the logo to clearly identify the Chromium-based Edge.
Should I switch to Microsoft Chromium Edge over Google Chrome?
With all the advantages of Microsoft Chromium Edge over Google Chrome, I think switching to Edge makes sense. Yes, there are always exceptions and if you fall in that category, I totally understand. I recommend making Chromium Edge (but not the old Edge) your default browser for a while and see how you like it. I would love to get your feedback.
Microsoft is essentially bundling a Chrome browser with Windows 10, except without all the Google stuff. Of course, if you’re tied into the Google ecosystem, it makes sense to continue using Chrome, but if not, there’s little reason not to use Edge instead.
What is the new Microsoft Edge browser based on?
The new Edge is based on the Chromium engine, which is the same engine used by Google Chrome browser. Just so you know, anyone can use the Chromium open-source project (started by Google) and compile the source code into a web browser. There are other browsers that are also based on Chromium.
Microsoft is replacing Edge with its new Chromium browser next week Microsoft is replacing its Edge browser with the updated, Chromium-based version on January 15. Windows 10 users will be automatically transitioned over.
Is edge a real competitor to Google Chrome?
However, the new Edge is already proving itself to be a real contender, because it really is just like Chrome, but if Microsoft had made it instead of Google. Brand loyalty exists, but I don’t think brand loyalty is what got Chrome popular.
So, what is the difference between Edge and Google Chrome?
Lets see if we can figure it out. edge and Google Chrome are both based on the Chromium browser engine, so offer a lot of the same features and functionality. So, far Edge has differentiated itself by boasting of its privacy and security features, which it claims can beat Google’s browser in tests by NSS Labs.
