Microsoft sharpens Edge

If you have been turning your nose up at Microsoft’s Edge browser, be prepared to change your mind. The latest Chromium-based version of Edge offers you more than what other browsers do.

Chrome is the undisputed leader among browsers. Since May last year, as a part of a Windows update, Edge became impossible to get rid of. This means that if you buy a Windows device, Edge comes bundled with it. Microsoft has continued to push updates to improve the performance of Edge.

Edge vs Chrome

Edge and Chrome are very similar; both are built on the Chromium platform.

Benchmarking tests show that Edge performs much better. Edge does not hog your computer’s resources. It uses around 0.9GB RAM whereas Chrome’s usage hovers around 1.25 to 1.35GB.
