Is Microsoft Edge actually better performing than Chrome now?

[Thulian]

i think it has more to do with visiting a site more then once for caching, edge is definitley slower

you should not be browsing that way anyway, its all about security and pages looking right

if all you care about is speed there are other faster browsers that do a shitty job

Been trying out Edge because chrome has been so bad about hogging all my potato's RAM. I badly need to upgrade. It's been doing a little bit better, just barely noticeable performance increase when I'm capping my RAM usage, but what's the deal with this shit?

33 instances of edge when I only have 4 tabs open. Also annoyed that it defaults to Bing search engine and I'm not sure how to make it default to google without visiting google for every search.

This was my instant exit after I first tried it when they forced it on me.

Go to the site you want to be your default i.e https://www.google.com

Then go here:

Settings > Advanced > Change Search Provider (at the bottom)

microsoft keeps annoying me to try it out and I got to admit its not bad

though I still like chrome but feel that edge will be better eventually

i gave edge a shot and it would randomly lag out fk it back with chrome again.

my pc literally can't handle chrome at this point lol. Edge seems to do a little better with RAM usage on the tabs you have open, especially when you switch back over to them after a period of inactivity (like playing a memory intensive game and periodically looking something up on the other monitor).

putting together a new one though
