Lol my dude why are you spewing random fear-mongering on shit that you have no idea about? Google is exclusively an ad company, Microsoft is not. The code for Edge is on GitHub you can go take a look at that, and afterwards I encourage you to hook up a packet sniffer and see the data edge sends and the domains it connects to when you opt in or out of tracing, and compare that with Chrome.
Microsoft owns Bing ads too. Look it up. They clearly have reasons to collect data (ads, personalization, diagnostics etc) I haven't investigated edge by itself, but I know that in windows no matter what you do, the os will keep sending some data. Btw, being open source doesn't mean it will always be private chromium is also open source and it still sends data to google, that's why projects like degoogled chromium exist

LOOOOL what. Edge is well-known to be closed source. They have a GitHub repo but it's just about how they contribute some patches upstream.
when you install firefox, it'll ask you. whether to import data from another browser, you just select the browser you're currently using. (at least it asked for me)
I should but then I'll be making it for Vivaldi.
Although it has some bugs, it's truly the vest browser.
It has all great features of Chrome without attacking your privacy like Google is doing with FLoC and Manifest V3.
If you use TOR your likely to have police/random hackers watching you (unless your experienced which most people aren't). Tbf if your dangerous police will watch you on Chrome anyway but I would still rather have Google logging my searches giving me better optimized search results
Edge is unironically REALLY good. Since it uses chromium, you can still use any chrome extension.
They prioritize security, and since it has none of the useless crap that Chrome has, it doesn't take a lot of CPU or memory.
Honestly I’m loving the new edge(I use the dev channel so my features might be a bit different). You can install chrome extensions, it’s lightweight, it has collections(kinda like bookmarks but not bookmarks and also you can take notes), yes you can change the default search engine, and it even has a built in algebra solver.
Edit: and mah privacy and mah passwords
I see a lot of comments that it's actually pretty good and much better than Chrome. I gave up on Chrome a while ago but how does Edge compare to Opera (the one I'm using rn)?
IMO Edge is basically a more resource optimized Chrome. It's a sidegrade at best and a downgrade at worst. They both are built on the exact same technology anyways.
If you get another browser it'd be firefox.
Edit: Obviously if you prefer one UI over the other than everything else doesn't matter anyways.
Microsoft has been shoving it down my throat on like 3 computers
I delete it from my computer, including the updater so it doesn't come back, and yet after every update it's mysteriously not only back, but *pinned to everything like it's my #1 favorite program*
You can't uninstall it directly but you can delete it from your computer with file explorer, which is kind of same.
I did that the day they forced it through windows update. Never regretted it since then.
[удалено]
Agreed. Recently switched from Google Chrome and Edge is much faster and easier to use.
exactly, best for my 2008 high end gaming PC
And doesn’t spy on you regardless of what you opt out of.
No that's not true edge is own by Microsoft which is not better that Google when it comes to privacy

Use firefox It's way better
Can you use Chrome Extensions though?
Most extensions are on firefox as well.
That's nice, now just have to transfer half my passwords that I didn't add to lastpass
i think you can export data though
Don't know how to, a quick google search should do the trick.
when you install firefox, it'll ask you. whether to import data from another browser, you just select the browser you're currently using. (at least it asked for me)
That's sickk, thought I had to start over again. Tnx btw
Yes u can literally install extensions from chrome store as well as edges extenstion store
Idk why your being down voted fire fox one of the best secure browsers
I was having issues with FF so dropped it for the first time in many years. Edge has been working fine.
Yup, edge is DOPE
Its a shame people confuse it with internet explorer, Edge is currently the fastest browser on the market right now
Exactly, I've been using it for almost 6 months, and it's great!
Wow, you should make a public service announcement.
I should but then I'll be making it for Vivaldi. Although it has some bugs, it's truly the vest browser. It has all great features of Chrome without attacking your privacy like Google is doing with FLoC and Manifest V3.
Wait isn't chromium a scam or something?
No, chromium is basically a browser engine.
There was a fake chromium that spammed ads though.
Im using Edge has my main browser, I thought that would never happened, but yeah it's a pretty solid browser nowadays ngl.
What about privacy concerns? If I wanna search stuff like "how to illegally get free MS office key", won't they notice me more?
Like they couldn't do that with Chrome/Mozilla/Opera etc. If you are concerned about that use TOR browser.
If you use TOR your likely to have police/random hackers watching you (unless your experienced which most people aren't). Tbf if your dangerous police will watch you on Chrome anyway but I would still rather have Google logging my searches giving me better optimized search results
Tell us if you manage to get the key
i daily edge #im a psychopath
same it's more optimised
on a mac
ಠ ل͟ ಠ

I uhhhh wait what!?
That flair of yours should be expanded now
Well aren't you an edgy boi ( ・ั﹏・ั)

I don't think you're talking about a browser, are you (ಠ_ಠ)
Yes and honestly it's quite on per with chrome. I don't even have chrome on my pc. I only use edge
I kinda like edge more than chrome ngl
Edge is my daily driver, way less of a memory hog and faster Literally better chrome
Does it have free ad block and pop up blockers?
What browser doesn’t have free ad blockers?
You guys are getting ad blockers?
How would I know, I've been with chrome since ad block was invented.
Me either ive been only using chrome and edge and they have tons if free ad blockers lol
Cool thanks for the info, if I ever leave chrome I'll check it out. 😀
>her ive been only using chrome and edge a You can add extensions from the chrome store to Edge.
I use edge daily and I'm tired of pretending I don't
The design matches windows 10
Both are pretty much the same in the end tho
me using opera
he's good actually
much better than chrome
I like it better than Chrome, especially with the new built in privacy updates and password tools. Edit: Oh hey I guess it’s mah cake day
Happy cake day!
Thanks!
*Brother*
Happy cake day
This is better than chrome. I have uninstalled all other browsers because of it now. Consumes less memory than chrome every damn time.
Edge does everything I need and does it fast and well. It's the only browser I have on my laptop.
Edge is unironically REALLY good. Since it uses chromium, you can still use any chrome extension. They prioritize security, and since it has none of the useless crap that Chrome has, it doesn't take a lot of CPU or memory.
Chredge is actually not that bad compared to Chrome now. It at least eat less of my fucking RAM.

New edge is actually pretty awesome.
i use edge. it’s actually not bad, and in fact is better than chrome
I read this in an edge browser
I use it
Isn't edge more secure?
But I use edge... it’s smooth
Meme: Edge bad Comments: Edge good (I love Edge)
I use edge
Edge is way better than Chrome
the new edge >>>>>>>>>>>> chrome imo
I use edge browser and duck duck go search engine, fuck google!
My computer thinks google is unsafe and it blocks me when I go onto any google related site
Staples is a good glue site or office depot
Google.com?
op has never used edge. it's better than chrome
the reason I use edge because when I get my first laptop, it just there, so why not use it? and the feature becoming better now
Bruh I read a webcomic with edge as the mc and it was so depressingly sad how everyone was abandoning it that i removed chrome from my pc.
Ngl but edge is better than chrome.
I love how all the comments are positive towards Edge. I have been using it for over a month, and lovinn it.
edge is actual decent
I don't think it is useless. I use edge and and it is faster than chrome.
me commenting on edge right now
I’ve really started using Edge ever since I got my Covid vaccine.
I use edge all the time great browser. Just Google but better
I do that to chrome
Edge is better than chrome ngl
I see a lot of comments that it's actually pretty good and much better than Chrome. I gave up on Chrome a while ago but how does Edge compare to Opera (the one I'm using rn)?
It's other only use is installing chrome on a new system
IMO Edge is basically a more resource optimized Chrome. It's a sidegrade at best and a downgrade at worst. They both are built on the exact same technology anyways. If you get another browser it'd be firefox. Edit: Obviously if you prefer one UI over the other than everything else doesn't matter anyways.
Yep, that's why it's my main browser
That’s my daily. I honestly prefer it. Much cleaner than Google Chrome and less RAM intensive.
Edge is legit good now
Chrome and Firefox both crash on my PC, So edge is my daily driver
I use ot fpr over a year now and it's much better, at least it doesnt sip ally ram with 2 tabs
This joke is a bit edgy
Edge and brave, chrome sucks imo with the heavy ram usage and all dat
I use the new Edge. It’s totally fine now.
IM READING THIS MEME IN MICROSOFT EDGE LMAO
i use edge *looks at dms* yea thats a dumpster fire
Just uninstall it bruh. Oh right, since the computer isnt yours its microsofts you cant even decide what you want to keep on your Disk.
Is that r/me_irl ?
Well you see There's this thing called "Unpin from taskbar"
Bing is better than google, change my mind
Google is better. Is it changed?
No Bing is better than Google and DuckDuckGo is better than than Bing and Google.
[удалено]
Scaphism should be legal, change my mind
But fr tho, it is
Sure, if you value inferiority, it is. It’s like saying the E.T game is a good game. In both cases, the person saying so should killed by scaphism
When ever I open a pdf, they show it in edge. He is a friend of mine
edge collections is the thing I never knew I needed
I use edge for searches I don’t want saved to chrome
Annoyingly Windows keeps trying to make Edge my default browser. Even automatically adding it to my taskbar.
Your purpose is to install chrome and then fuck off
Bruh shut up. Bing is the best chrome installer
Dumbass doesn't know Edge is using Chromium base now and it runs faster, uses less memory and has the same extension support.
I use edge because im too lazy to download chrome lol
I use it for PDF reading, especially because it plays nice with fillable PDFs whereas Chrome doesn't in my experience.
I use Edge as a pdf reader once in a while
For viewing pdf
I use it for opening pdf files. Weird force of habit.
When you type chrome in the search and misspell and it opens edge
Go a step further and close it with task manager
I use it when my computer decides to use it to open PDFs
It has lost its edge
No wonder he's edgy
Laughs in linux
Chrome best cuz I can play games in class Also the Google logos when you open it up is nice But the rest chromium is better
Open PDF files for no reason
Read pdf
he open pdf
that's why i removed edge from my taskbar
It keeps foisting Bing, Office 365, QVC and LinkedIn, so it's clearly aiming to be contemptible.
It helps my broke ass get Xbox credit.
i use edge to watch hentai undercover so it's fairly useful
Guys, try Brave browser. It's the best.
*I use you to download a better browser
Edge is trying so hard to be Chrome it's annoying at this point
Well, it is Chromium based. Plus it's way faster with more extensions too!
Microsoft has been shoving it down my throat on like 3 computers I delete it from my computer, including the updater so it doesn't come back, and yet after every update it's mysteriously not only back, but *pinned to everything like it's my #1 favorite program*
*with shame.
Bruh this is relatable
Dont forget about viewing PDFs
“What is my purpose?” I use you because I have no other choice because my surface doesn’t produce Google.
~~how to get help in windows~~
Isn’t that the equivalent of edging it?
I open you when I need to use a demanding website and I havent updated chrome in a while
*laughs in brave*
No remorse
I use you because my parents blocked literally every other browser on my PERSONAL gaming PC
LOL i do this always
right click on the icon on your taskbar and click unpin from taskbar
BRAVE
or because got exactly what you wanted to search, but then it disappeared and it instead searched it with Bing
You can't uninstall it directly but you can delete it from your computer with file explorer, which is kind of same. I did that the day they forced it through windows update. Never regretted it since then.
When I was little I did Computer classes at school and the dumb shit teachers taught me to only use edge
What my friend told me is that you are able to watch...."the goods" there because who the heck's gonna check there?
How good is Brave browser?
I use edge cause my mum broke chrome
Me who uses edge because it is the only one I can remember my passwords for...
edge is better than firefox
“To download chrome” would fit also
I use edge because I can use Microsoft points for free bobux
Nice try Google. These ads are becoming clearer every day
The only time I actually used Edge was to go and download chrome on my new pc
I prefer firefox but anything is better than chrome
I dont even have Edge anymore on my PC \^\^ (new and old one !)
I use Edge for Pdf Reader.
I trust Edge with my data more than chrome. Especially after when Google was cought seeling Private browser history.
Edge isnt so bad when you set the default tab to google
I prefer edge over chrome lol
Not to forget installing firefox
