Considered Both Products
Google Chrome
Chose Google Chrome
Google Chrome is much better designed than Microsoft Edge-- it is faster, smarter, more intuitive, and less burdened with bloatware. Google Chrome is considerably easier to use than Opera, which is not intuitive and has many difficult rabbit holes to fall down. Google Chrome is …
Chose Google Chrome
Google Chrome is the most widely used, user-friendly (especially in overall navigation), visually appealing, and easy to initially set up (unlike Edge, or even the 'blankness' that Safari often provides). It is simple for the less tech savvy, and its huge array of downloadable …
Chose Google Chrome
Because the SaaS integrations on Google Chrome are top notch. A lot of SaaS applications are first tested on Google Chrome and are almost always advised by the developers to use it in Google Chrome if another browser doesn't work well.Because Google Chrome is not bound to an OS …
Chose Google Chrome
Haven't really spent much time with Edge, as I always change to Chrome as soon as possible, so it's difficult to compare.
Chose Google Chrome
I repeat again: It is a worldwide standard. It matches both the Platforms - Windows and iOS. Pages load quickly, and the website's presentation is impeccable. It needs to seamlessly integrate Google Gemini into Google Chrome. Overall, I will give 10/10 to the designer of Google …
Chose Google Chrome
Only Firefox comes close. Google Chrome is leaps and bounds above anything Microsoft has ever done in the browser space. Microsoft has lagged behind with Edge for years and continues to supply a subpar browsing experience. Google Chrome has the speed and the features to make it …
Chose Google Chrome
I'd say Google Chrome and Safari are my favorite browsers. I mainly selected Google Chrome because it seamlessly saves all my information across different browsers (unlike Safari).
Chose Google Chrome
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 …
Microsoft Edge
Chose Microsoft Edge
I would use Microsoft Edge usually over Google Chrome. Chrome is useful because it helps keep continuity between the different devices you might be using for work. I would still choose Microsoft Edge over Google Chrome because I like the layout better, and it does a better job …
Chose Microsoft Edge
I would say that all 3 (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge) compare well against each other. I've heard of many organizations trying to push Google Chrome as the superior of the 3 but in my opinion Microsoft Edge (which came pre-installed on my laptop) was the go …
Chose Microsoft Edge
We selected Microsoft Edge because we had a certain business need that utilized their Microsoft Edge in IE Mode. Once we began to use the browser more, we found that it was much less taxing on our system's resources than other browsers, especially Google Chrome. Less RAM being …
Chose Microsoft Edge
Both run on Chromium, so it's the same browser, but in terms of manageability, Edge has the edge!
Chose Microsoft Edge
They are all at the global same level. Using several web-brwoser allow segmentation to use one or other for specific use-case.
Chose Microsoft Edge
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 …
Chose Microsoft Edge
I used to use Chrome exclusively, but once I started using Microsoft Edge, I noticed that they have some innovative features that Chrome didn't originally have to manage search results. Microsoft Edge seems to have forced Google to improve their features. Now I use both about …
Chose Microsoft Edge
Edge had better software development than Chrome. The security is superior and the features you get in Edge outweigh what Chrome offers.

Google
Chrome is super well-suited to people who use Android phones, have limited experience with internet browsers, are intimidated by new technology, and are other language learners or tech learners. Chrome is less well-suited to people who are highly experienced and have strong opinions about their browsers, and to those with greater integration with Apple or other non-Google systems.

I have found Microsoft Edge to be well suited for most work-related scenarios that occur during a typical workday. I am able to access benefit vendor websites and HCM resources. Shared files in Office 365 are accessible through Microsoft Edge. I view webinars in Microsoft Edge because it is relatively easy to group webinar handouts into tab groups.

Cons
Google
  • Alerting when bookmark links are broken
  • Better themes; there's great groundwork, but horribly barren and lack of quality options
  • Better tracking/security transparency with its users
  • Alert when cache slowing down performance, and quick navigation to clear this for the less tech-savvy.
  • Allowing file name edits within the quick-access download dropdown, without having to have this fully on or off, or having to navigate outside of Google Chrome
  • Embedded suggestion for quick-access extensions on homepage (with option to remove suggestions easily), for ad-blocking, accessibility, etc.

  • Microsoft Edge could definitely work on it's development in regard to mobile compatibility.
  • Microsoft Edge is unable to have cross-device access on Chromebooks OS.
  • Microsoft Edge's extension availability falls very short compared to other browser's offerings.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Google
Only Firefox comes close. Google Chrome is leaps and bounds above anything Microsoft has ever done in the browser space. Microsoft has lagged behind with Edge for years and continues to supply a subpar browsing experience. Google Chrome has the speed and the features to make it the best in the industry and it continues to go above and beyond where others do not keep up. With Gemini AI added, this will only continue to get better.

Microsoft Edge is bundled with both of my laptops, but I have no reason to get rid of either. Opera, when I used it, was a bit clunky, and frankly a little bare-bones for my liking. Firefox is an equal for Microsoft Edge, but has an issue with stability on my personal laptop. After working around those issues for a couple of years, I wound up moving to Microsoft Edge, and have had no performance or connection issues since.

Return on Investment
Google
  • Because Google Chrome is a tool that has it all our people dont have to switch in browser they can use only Google Chrome what saves time
  • Because of the single use of Google Chrome our Servicedesk has to just know one application and we get half the tickets if you got 2 standard browsers.
  • Because Google Chrome is owned by Google it automaticly is very secure what retuns means Google Chrome has a good security. Which lead to lower security incidents
