[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 107474, post: 1074450"] Microsoft first focussed on making Edge a better (more safety and privacy features) browser than Chrome. Preloading also made Edge a lot faster (first) starting than Chrome. Currently Edge loads cold only a tad faster than Chrome on my laptop. This is partly because of faster SSD's, but mostly because of the bloat added to Edge. With switches and (registry) policy settings all Edge extra security features are also available in Chrome. Many new Microsoft Edgr features (image enhancing for instance) also added new ways of tracking mechanisms. Privacy wise they are on par (or as bad), so the only decision left is: do you appreciate all new Edge features. Yes? Than keep using Edge, No? Consider Chrome again (it's focus on core browser functionality feels as a relief). When going back to Chrome is not an option, give Brave a chance or try one of the ungoogled Chromium versions.
