Support NeoGAF

[kingbean]

So I've been using a Surface Go at work for the past few days and I've got to say it's a nice little machine. I was noticing that in my down time while browsing neogaf that firefox and chrome would stutter. So I figured what the hell lets just see how it runs in edge and man its a night and day difference. Microsoft Edge is snappy as hell and it supports the extensions I like to use. My work doesn't support it so I still have to do work stuff inside of chrome but for messing around and youtubing it's been a real treat.

So anyone on a low powered tablet or older PC might want to try it out, it's actually pretty damn nice.

That is all.

Other than this. It won't replace Firefox as my main browser on my PC though

I'm more of a Firefox man myself. Came from netscape navigator and kept up with that team.

I like em both.

Netscape was awesome tho.

Still remember being amazed by the little animated logo a kid

Did they move to Chromium yet? Insert low-hanging "lol it only took [[time_since_release]] for it to get gud" joke here.

I found Edge quite nice as far as the touch input went. Works well on my laptop's touchscreen, though I too am a Firefox man in any other situation.

Edge still has some issues but it certainly isn't the worst. I have moved away from Chrome to Firefox lately.

It's sleek and nice to handle. Only annoying thing about MS Browsers is that you cant delete the Bing search engine, only change it. Who the fuck uses Bing?

Honestly, me. After testing multiple blind search engines, Bing always provided me better results. I definitely prefer its aesthetic over Google's as well, and its rewards system's paid for most of my massive book library.

I switched over to on Chrome too. Got sick of the attitude coming out of Google. Moved to bring as well.

I gave it a try last year.
Biggest advantage of it IMO was how smooth it felt. Scrolling through pages compared to Chrome felt like going from a 30fps game to a 60fps one.

But I had a lot of compatibility issues. Lots of pages that just wouldn't work well or wouldn't display right which had no issues on Chrome. The most ridiculous one was the MS Office page not loading correctly while it worked perfectly fine with other browsers. It was just like "no wonder they have issues with other sites if they can't even get their own to run well" so I switched.

Maybe it's time to go back and check how it's now

This website alone is why I use Edge on my phone. Super smooth. As for the PC I'm a Firefox kind of guy.

I thought it was decent when I used it for a while, but I ended up back on Chrome. If Chrome ever actually disables adblockers, I'll go to Edge or Firefox.

 

[HoodWinked]

ya you're right edge is well optimized but performance isn't even an issue in most cases and its ultimately the features/ui that matter.

 

[switchback27]

After using Firefox for around 8 years, a series of errors made me switch to Chrome. Worked out well for me, but Edge is definitely an improvement over IE.

That being said, on mobile I use Brave browser. IMO, it's currently better on mobile than on desktop, even if it doesn't yet have the crypto wingdings that are on the desktop version.

I'm a huge supporter of anything not Google.

I use Safari on my MBA because it blows everything else out of the water on resources consumption. It isn't even close.

Then I use Brave as my chromium browser.

Edge is good because it's already installed and software minimalism is a smart thing to practice.
