Is Microsoft Edge actually better performing than Chrome now?

[Knuckle]

I've noticed on several websites now I am just getting signficantly better performance on Microsoft Edge. I've ran across this 3 seperate times in the last week where I ran a web page on Edge, and all elements loaded and scrolled better and snappier. In my mind Chrome would stay on top forever, and maybe this was just flukes?

In my childhood there was no internet and few had PCs.
You either played outside, watched tv, played Nintendo, or watched a VCR movie.

Children that grew up in the 80's were known for their drug use habits and mass spread of STD's.

@knuckle - elf-pal I'm going to be checking back for updates. Don't let me down.

Despite essentially being little more than a reskin of Chrome Edge is far better.

Chrome idling unused RAM is a nice idea, but it seems to have a flawed implementation and can’t dump that RAN quickly when it is required for an active task. Ms doesn’t seem to do this and seems to run more smoothly. I’m not using high end machines, just laptops with up to 16 gig ram.

chrome is a disaster but i don't want to diss it, i still use it because i don't want to transition to edge

that said chrome may be slightly more secure

edge and all microsoft stuff been edging into my taskbar lately without my consent

I miss old KDE and Nautilus, again to tired, dead, lazy to install anything or do VMs. Gonna stick with EQ + chrome for p99

would make sense to browse other sites in edge tho, sometimes chrome/eq get wierd especially on media heavy sites that require video acceleration or encoding/decoding? it gets wierd in chrome for sure

not a bad dad pun, but a bit in your face eh?

Im kinda with you though, it's hard to change, I basically remember giving up microsoft explorer for chrome like 15+ years ago and was like, yeah google is focused on end user experience. Plus with Gmail basically being the standard and googles fingers in the everyday apps, you feel like you should be able to trust it to stay on top. But I am beginning to think I need to move to Edge.

Chrome has never really been good. Only popular.

Personally I use Firefox.

chrome was definitely good around its release, 2009 was it? when firefox had a major memory leak problem and would leave me every morning with a wacked out PC. Chrome still handles tab abusers like me way better, putting tabs into suspend to protect memory usage, while firefox will let me tab myself into oblivion on 64gb even if the tab is 10 days old. But I use firefox now cuz i know how to do fancy things on it in linux.
