Serious Discussion Microsoft Edge Stable (Chromium) Now Available for Download

Since when did Edge become so fast? It performs much better than Brave

So, is it superior to Brave? I'm having trouble deciding between the two browsers right now.

Version 148.0.3967.70: May 15, 2026 (Stable)

Category	Description
Fixes	Fixed various bugs and performance issues.
Security	Stable channel security updates are listed here.

Fixes

• Changes to password manager. Changes to ensure passwords no longer load into memory on startup. For more information, see the Microsoft Edge blog post.
• Update to the AutoplayAllowed policy. The AutoplayAllowed policy behavior has been updated. In Microsoft Edge versions 92 through 145, setting the policy to Disabled configured media autoplay to “Limit.” In versions 146 and 147, setting the policy to Disabled configured media autoplay to “Block.” In version 148 and later, when the policy is set to Disabled, Edge once again sets media autoplay to “Limit.” The “Limit” setting restricts autoplay to sites with high media engagement and active WebRTC streams.

I deleted Brave and now use Edge, it seems to be at least 2x faster.
