    I refuse to use Edge even when I’m on a Windows machine out of principle (or spite, either works), but when I do (when I have to), I‌ think it’s better than Google Chrome. In fact, I don’t think I even have Google Chrome on my Windows installation.

    Although I have my questions.

    Is Edge better (than Google Chrome) for Windows machines only? And if so, is it because MS have devoted some time optimizing it for Windows? Or did MS do a good job across the board (all supported OS’es)? Did the IE memes finally get them to actually improve on things? That the reputation of IE has spurred them to make Edge the best browser it can be (despite demands from corporate/marketing)?

      I recently went on Edge yesterday lang, at ito ang first impressions ko, despite na napaka-tagal ko nang gumagamit ng Windows.

      Is Edge better (than Google Chrome) for Windows machines only?

      It could be. Chromium and Windows is widely used, and in order to “impress” users, Microsoft amped Chromium engine to its limitations. this is the result.

        Well, given what I think MS wants Edge to do, impressing users to get them to use the browser regularly is the first, and most important step. (And the rest, the user need not contemplate, “for their own good.”)
