While both companies are predatory I would never use Edge because its so bad and bloated its not even funny.
Edge is just Chromium now.
Always has been.
And I feel like that happened really quickly. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Edge was a nice, nimble browser. Not this bloated naggy beast it is now.
I find Edge better than Chrome at the very least. Granted, I don't use either as my main options, but between the two Edge seems more responsive and lighter than Chrome (and before anyone misunderstands, I know they both use the same engine, I'm referring to ... well, prior to Google, I would have referred to it as the chrome, but can't really do that now... the application around the engine).
I want the old Edge (pre-Chromium) back. It is the best EPUB reader. Simple yet elegant. Sad they doesn't bring it back.
Why not just use Calibre?
Calibre performance is worst then the old Edge in term of loading time. The old Edge loads almost instantly. Plus the interface is more user friendly then Calibre.
Edge is better than Chrome. Which isn't that hard these days...
Really? I have tested Edge on other people's pc long time ago. Whats your opinion on it.
I daily edge at work because I just wanted to and I like how it integrates with our domain. It's fine, but I did have to spend some time turning off weird things like price trackers or whatever it was.
I still use Firefox at home though.
I use firefox all the time but I get random freezes and stutters when I'm watching YouTube. Is it because of the number of addons I have?
Run Firefox with all add-ons disabled for a baseline check.Then turn on/off hardware acceleration in settings
