i am still using those software as well but i use Google Chrome more because it supports a huge extension pool that makes day-to-day life convenient for me. I use lots of analytics extensions for tracking activity and performance of the day, others lag here, so I prefer Chrome.

Firefox has a clunky update mechanism. Although Firefox was pretty quick, I did not care for the look of it. Opera was not as compatible nor as fast as Google Chrome. Tor is slow but is used only for private browsing as needed.

Both run on Chromium, so it's the same browser, but in terms of manageability, Edge has the edge!

It is easy to use, easy to move between devices, and great for browsing with incredible speeds as long as the internet connection can keep up. There is a feature called 'Resume Browsing' that is unhelpful, and I am not too sure about the data they keep on you.

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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

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 easier and more straightforward than Mozilla Firefox, especially for a beginner.

  • It is good to have an alternative to Google...different results...which means more choices and information than from one source.
  • Sometimes Microsoft Edge information results is not as robust as Google so we need to use Google too.
  • The integration with Microsoft products is really nice...since we are a Microsoft shop.
