Considered Both Products
Google Chrome
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 Chrome because it seemleasly 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.

Well-suited: It is a worldwide standard. It matches both the Platforms - Windows and iOS. Pages load quickly, and the website's presentation is impeccable. Less Appropriate: It needs to seamlessly integrate Google Gemini into Google Chrome. This task is not done at present. This is a must.

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.

Usability
Google
I gave it an 8 out of 10 because it’s fast and reliable for daily work, but it’s also easy for it to get bloated over time. A lot of the customization features, like color themes and extras, feel unnecessary and add clutter without real value.

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.

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.
