I tried a 48-hour experiment of using Edge instead of Chrome as my primary browser and have not gone back to Chrome since then. Six months in and I am still on it. The performance upgrades are serious. RAM and CPU usage is down and the battery gets a real boost. The best part is the browser history, extensions all remained the same.

Yes the feature is a definite plus.

I liked the vertical tabs. However for the RAM, I tried to open same tabs in both browsers and the RAM usage was almost the same. Main issue that we all know that Google sale our info to advertisers, but with Microsoft no one can tell for sure where the information will end up. Anyway, nice video, this was the closest ever that someone bring me to use Edge

Your first point is actually what concerns me most about the egde browser: Privacy. I just think that Edge is not doing the best job for protecting my data and I also dont trust Microsoft to not use my Data, because they already did in other cases where said they wouldnt. All of the features you pointed out are available on other browsers with add-ons, so the only thing that could disturb me is privacy and this is the main reason im using firefox instead of one of the chromium derivates.

I'm a sysadmin and I've never liked the feel of Chrome. For every other customization and many more, there's Firefox. Chromium is incredibly rigid. That being said, Edge is fantastic and I do like using it for my work browser. It makes for a very efficient work environment. I use both Edge and Firefox in personal and work environments.

Subscribed. My good old HP AIO died a month ago, I was using firefox as the web browser. When I got my new Dell AIO with Win11, I switched to Edge as I felt it has matured into a great browser.

At this point, I my life legit wouldn't be the same without collections. It makes research and organization so much more intuitive.

The tutorials you provide have been very helpful to me. I've learned some much. Thank you for taking the time and putting these well developed programs out there.

I had immediately changed to Edge as soon as I got hold of it a few years back, I just saw the improvement over Chrome and how much less memory it was using, the only issue currently with me on edge is that some extensions will bug out.

Ram management and battery consuming is another point in favor of edge, I noticed 15% difference in ram usage when opening 1 tab of a large google sheet file Also my LG Gram is doing great with a minimum of 9h when pushing it hard (60% of my daily workflow is done on the browser in cloud apps)

Chrome just hogs all your memory, so I definitely recommend Edge or Firefox

Greetings from upstate NY, USA. Thank you for the informative videos. I had used IE for many years, switched to Chrome to use Gmail for the last 8 years or so. I am a neophyte in the computer/internet community, but I have learned from your videos enormously. I will use EDGE in my new HP - a modestly-priced one, since I abstain from gaming. I am in awe of your expertise, manner of explaining subject matter, and ease of discourse. You have a dedicated admirer of your videos in this humble bloke. I plan to watch every one of your videos to navigate my new laptop. Best to you.

Recently i've switched to windows 10. And i've decided at least to look at the Edge. I thought i'll just play with it and will return to my Chrome. But after couple times of using it i've made the Edge my default browser. :) Most of all i was amazed with immersive reader. I couldn't believe that this is not just a voice recording, so real this reading is, so i like to listen the books with this wonderful feature. And my favorite english voice is Dilara (Persian).🥰

I wasn’t aware of the immersive reader feature. Will definitely have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing.

I do agree with you. I have used a lot of browsers including chrome but I found edge is better than all other browsers. Windows 11 with edge browser is really very comfortable, feature rich and very fast. I love the way edge handles pdf files. So many useful features. Really fantastic browser.

Yep, I dumped Chrome a year ago, but my nr 1 browser is Firefox. (I use it 99% of the time). If you value your privacy, then obviously Microsoft as a company is getting worse all the time. Just look at what they are doing with Windows 11. I think using Edge as your main browser is not a smart thing to do.

I use edge on my iPhone as well. Two more added features are the AdBlock built-in browser mobile version and the ability to continue reading a page on Desktop which will send the page automatically to the edge on the desktop.

You can even sign into Edge with your regular Microsoft profile and your school/work profile (for 365) and the browser will auto switch profiles to match the page. Love Edge Dev and Windows 11!

MS Edge starts off looking clean and cool - just like Chrome, but Edge has inherited is founder's desire to control everyone in the world. After trying it on and off alongside Chrome for a few months and being reasonably pleased, following the last update, 111.0.1661.41, I am utterly infuriated by MS's constant and irremovable insistence that I must have it's flashing and visually disturbing MSN news feed on every new tab I open - either that or I can't have the new tab 'speed dial' links displayed. Yes I've tried following every piece of help I can find on the web - I simply don't get the options when I choose a custom page layout. This is driving me crazy - just like almost every release of almost every other piece of MS software I've ever used.

Compare that to Edge, which when MSFT gathers data, it is for cross-program personalization/flow. So you can work in Word etc., open edge and your homepage or the extension will show you the documents you were last working on. Again, with MSFT it’s all a choice, you can turn it all on (no tracking) or off (super tracking).

Not much of a Windows guy, so your articles are a great help me. Thanks a lot for that. Ok, I rather cut to the chase: 1. There is a documented study done few months ago for data mining behavior by Chrome, Edge and Duck Duck Go. They found out Edge is second to Duck Duck Go and Chrome being the lowest of the three. 2. Referring to another of your article about restart and power off (assuming warm kernel option chosen from Windows power options), in restart if the micro kernel needs to be flushed off only then related services/libraries will need to be killed/flushed. It is highly unlikely to flush the microkernel for unrelated services or libraries. Why bother flushing unaffected segment of memory?

Great video. I'm glad that I now know of some of the advanced features that Edge offers, and the steps to follow to use them. Nice job. BTW, I have been using Chrome for a while and I get bombarded with adverts every time I'm trying to look at anything.

Microsoft Edge has improved a lot since they switched to the Chromium engine. It may use the same engine as Chrome but Microsoft made sure it isn't just a Chrome reskin, adding a lot of useful features that Chrome doesn't have. While I am not too keen on vertical tabs myself, I see why some people could find them really useful. Also, Chrome has an annoying feature where muting one tab mutes all tabs which are connected to the same site. For example, if you have multiple livestreams open and want to leave some running in the background while you watch one of them, you can't mute all of the tabs except one because all the tabs are connected to the same site (KZread, Twitch or whatever) and muting one of the tabs mutes all of the tabs. Firefox deals with muted tabs in a much more logical and less frustrating way, allowing you to mute a single tab even if multiple tabs are connected to the same site. Although it is based on Chromium, Edge opts to follow Firefox's more logical way of doing things which is much better. However, Firefox is still my favourite browser. Chrome and Edge both lack a menu bar, Firefox is unquestionably more private than both of them with built in tracking protection which is turned on by default, and Firefox is the only browser with a somewhat significant browser share that doesn't use the Chromium engine. If Firefox dies, Google will basically have a monopoly on browser engines (except for on Mac where people can use Safari.) This is bad for everyone, no matter what browser they use, because a lack of competition means Google don't need to keep adding new features and making Chromium based browsers faster. After all, there would literally be no popular alternative to them. Firefox has made some questionable design changes recently, and I hate the new look. But it still has a bunch of features which imo put it ahead of the competition. If Firefox dies, due to web developers no longer supporting it or Mozilla running out of funding and developers leaving, I might consider using Edge rather than Chrome. This is actually a very real possibility in the next few years, with Firefox's decreasing share of the market and reliance on Google paying Mozilla to make them the default browser. Microsoft would have to win my trust back first. I currently don't trust Microsoft Edge with my bookmarks. A few years ago, before Edge switched to Chromium, I imported my bookmarks and tried it out for a bit. After a few days, Edge forgot some of my bookmarks for some reason. I know it's using a different engine now but I still don't trust Edge. Also, the current UI for Edge is really ugly imo. Although perhaps they will change Edge's UI on Windows 10 alongside the changes they have planned for its UI on Windows 11.

I switched to Edge last year and I love it. Thanks for the tips too. I love your accent, do you mind if I ask what country you're from?

Congratulations on your excellent videos. Would it be possible to make a video on how to import the collections from Google Chrome to MS Edge and also how to view these collections in the iOS app. This subject could be related to Microsoft account vs Local account. Thank you

I had built a google spreadsheet based stock market tracker, it was a complex spreadsheet I agree having almost all the listed stocks from BSE, NSE and NASDAQ. That was why I thought it was normal for chrome to load the spreadsheet forever, but once I downloaded edge and opened the same spreadsheet, the thing just opened in under 10 secs without any lag. I am happily switching to edge now.

I love what you do, Leila! I am now able to start building a team to help me, and I have them pay attention to what you do. You are mentioned in our "Power Sessions" often. I look forward to the day that you have 10 Million subscribers. Thank you, Leila! 💪😁🌴🤙

I use Edge and highly recommend it to everyone. I use it on my android phone and ipad too, primarily due to the security features. I hardly see any ads anywhere now. Edge is better in terms of speed and ram. The moment I used Chrome (before I uninstalled it), I could hear the pc or laptop fan working hard to function. Other thing is if you're a Office 365 user, then you surely would enjoy the integration of Edge along with its peer apps. You can add stuffs to your one note. I only wish that MS gives an option for using the address bar along with Cortana. If the apps on all platforms have this feature, then the Office 365 users can enjoy a seemless ecosystem. I cannot add tasks on To Do using the Google Assistant, but if this comes out, I'll disable Google Assistant completely.

Now Edge have live wallpaper on the homepage, super cool to see. I hope they can implement this to Desktop Background with live wallpaper.

Apparently there's a version for Ubuntu etc., but I'm not about to sign a user agreement with micro-softie corporation. Firefox and Chromium work just fine.

Edge works great with the Microsoft Authenticator. Users might not want to migrate because of the saved passwords and favorites. Edge can load load passwords from G Chrome. The migration is easy. Great video, btw.

Never save passwords in your browser. Literally the dumbest thing you can do

Thank you so much. I started using it as it was a browser on my new laptop. It was a good experience. And now with information I am sure yo stick to Edge

I used to love Chromium Edge, but the major issue is that it gets slow for no reason on my computer. Every other browser I use runs fine, so I don't get why the windows official browser is the slowest on my PC.

I've been happy with Chrome except in the case of speed of access to Evernote web pages. You have to wait several seconds for different notebooks to pull up. Once you're in a certain notebook, the notes access speed is normal. I circumvented this issue by using Evernote on Firefox, where the Evernote notebook access is instantaneous.

Just the ability to have vertical tabs is enough reason for me to switch to Edge. Thanks for that tip.

Leila Gharani, thanks for the Edge review. I have enjoyed a few of your videos on Excel, One Note, and PowerPoint. Being a Mac user, Edge version for Mac is horrible. Our IT department at my company suggest not to use Edge on our Windows machines out of the many browsers we can use on our PCs (Chrome, Safari, and Firefox). When it comes to speed test, my preferred default browser, of course, Safari on the M1 Mac easily best Chrome and Edge. I understand optimization of hardware and OS plays a big factor. I also think the verdict is still out when it comes to Edge on privacy and security vulnerabilities. However, Edge is finally catching up to Chrome In the extension department, like other Microsoft products becoming too over-bloated with excellent features but rarely used. I think you were 100% correct; Chrome will continue to dominate. Keep up The very helpful and excellent thorough reviews.

I have so many favorites saved to tabs located on the top row that I can access on any given time. How do you see those tabs when you switch? I guess they call that the tool bar?

You converted me. The Ctrl+Tab thing is something I'm not giving up though. I find it annoying when tabs get mixed with all the programs I've got open.

Should have mentioned about the current pdf editor in edge!

If you want to support an alternative browser on the basis of privacy Firefox is the one you should use. It is essential we keep an alternative non chromium based browser.

I guess tho firefox isn't the best for privacy since by default it has some telemetry which is why librewolf is better

I love Edge's Read Aloud functionality. No other browser seems to have it. It does a good job of reading online documents and you have a number of voice options.

Microsoft should make Edge more friendly for web scrapping with AHK like it was with IE. It will make instantly have more users and it is very very important for business. IE and AHK is really good combo, it is really sad that AHK does not work easy with Edge.

Thank you for making this video. I might switch to edge too

Good video Leila. I ditched Chrome for the Brave browser. Great privacy and lightning fast.

Chrome has one major advantage over any microsoft product! They don't abandon their customers or try to force users to buy new product or lose support!

I have been using Edge since I saw you video and it's been ~3 years. Thanks for the quality info as always Leila!

I've been using edge since last year, loved it, never felt like downloading chrome.

Edge is my favourite browser, I particularly like the "Collections" feature and make extensive use of it. Edge is constantly improving and adding features at quite a rapid pace. Never could get use to Chrome, found Firefox better, but Edge is far superior.
