Microsoft's web browser, available for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile.
Multiple incognito windows are easily and effortlessly generated at will. This browser easily handles 30 tabs without a huge resource drain. Generally all banking and testing sties are compatible with Google Chrome now, so near 100% compatibility with all locations on the web. Like Franks Hot Sauce, I use Google Chrome on everything!
Microsoft Edge stands up against other browsers, depending on the needs of your organization. It's fast and dependable, with a user friendly interface. Many of our legacy systems rely on old functionality that is utilized in the IE Mode. We also like that because we use other Microsoft Office products, we can open and edit those directly within Microsoft Edge. But many extensions we'd be interested in aren't available for this particular browser.
Not about Chrome per se, but Google search is fast losing relevance and Gemini AI results are useless more than half the time. If search and information gathering moves to other paltforms, then eventually the reasons I open Chrome will reduce
Sometimes, some functions don't seem to work while browsing Incognito.
I'm not sure if this is an Edge issue, but if you set up the Passwordless Experience in Windows and don't have Windows Hello configured, when you attempt to view a password, it displays a prompt that doesn't work.
Ease of use and functionality is unmatched. Some of the functionality reduces on a Macbook, for example, when I can't use the windows shortcut Alt + Tab to switch between windows. I use multiple profiles on Chrome - a personal and a work profile, and Windows makes it very easy to switch between the two. Still, I've been a user for 10+ years, and I see nothing that matches the functionality, integrations across apps and devices, ease of use and the deeply entrenched habits.
I use Edge daily - all day. I typically have 2 Edges open on two different screens as well. While Edge and Chrome are both built on the Chromium platform, Edge completely beas out Chrome regarding security, usability, and functionality.
Firefox has a bulky and clunky design over Chrome. I didn't do a comparative test but it felt like Chrome was faster and I've never seen/ tested android compatibility from firefox. Safari seems to want to control my browsing activity as opposed to allowing me to control my browsing activity and the same points as above also apply - clunky boxy design, and I get a feeling of slow speed. Plus I use Gmail, GDrive, Google Keep Notes, almost on a daily basis and Safari makes it difficult to use those.
I actually use all three products for different tasks. I find it helpful to use different products so that I am familiar with them. This allows me to assist coworkers who use different products. I am familiar enough with each similar product that I can help other employees troubleshoot difficulties.
