    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 …

    Edge had better software development than Chrome. The security is superior and the features you get in Edge outweigh what Chrome offers.

    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 …

    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. …

    Mozilla Firefox is faster, more efficient, and has less "bloatware" than Microsoft Edge, which is a frustrating and inefficient browser. It is a much smoother and more pleasant browsing experience.

    I will always pick Mozilla Firefox as my first choice because of the user friendly look and because of the reduction in ads that you see. My second choice would be Chrome because it is the preferred browser in many organizations but if given the chance I will always go to …

    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.

    Firefox is ideal for users who are tech-proficient and eager to customize their browsing experience to meet exactly their needs. It is best for people who are very contemplative and thoughtful about their experience of using web browsers and want more than an out-of-the-box or clunky experience offered by pre-loaded browsers.

    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.

    It can do anything I throw at it. It does not slow down. I cannot remember it ever crashing. Updating is super easy. It's colorful enough to find what I need visually. I can customize the look to make it super usable and fast with muscle memory precision. It's by far easier to use than any other browser.

    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.
