App Review Microsoft Edge VS Google Chrome

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Thanks for the analysis video.
Chrome all the way!
A new look-and-feel, engine and provision for scope of addons is just the start.
No matter how much they boast of their engine and their security measures, it will take more improvements in terms of policy, integrations, support and engine to lure the pro-Chrome and pro-FF users.
It did fix a few glitches, it provides basic security by verifying sites and downloaded files, but power users won't find it enough (except the default-deny class.. and newbies).

Base Security : Edge is a bit better because of smartscreen and Appcontainer
Base Performance: Chrome seems a bit faster
Base Customization: Chrome far far far better.

Result: Chrome win

My opinion: use chrome as main browser, Edge as secondary.

ok now you can close the thread, i just gave the ultimate irrevocable truth :p

Your face is irrevocable! There, it has been revoked. Happy Birthday to me.
Never can use Edge even though I'm adaptable enough to use many other browsers just fine.

Why would you need a secondary browser? Also I agree with you on the Base Security, Performance & Customization :)

Sometimes some pages aren't load properly, so i check if the issue is from Chrome or not.
Also after i do a clean install of the OS and make a backup , i prefer use Edge which has appcontainer by default in case i need to download anything. As said some famous politician "listen folks, security first ! security first !" :p

Edge is slower at loading pages and not so customizable like Chrome with more add-ons.
My main is Chrome, my second is Vivaldi.
You are the second Vivaldi user that i find somewhere in some forums... so i have a question for you. :D Have you managed to get the search autocomplete to work for Google in the address bar? :(
Edit: The previous one couldn't answer me. ;)

Tried Opera Neon, i didn't find it as useful and easy to use, although it is a new way to browse. I liked Vivaldi and the standard Opera more.

@MalwareBlockerYT any idea of why Edge did this really good result in the phishing department here, and in your Windows defender test it completely failed?
Because of Smartscreen; which is the most powerful security feature in Windows 8/10.

Youtester often disable Smartscreen while testing WD, and they don't download malwar from the test system but from another one .
