Elliot Kirk So far I really like this version of Edge much more than last. It's snappy and fast
I usually use 2 browser which is Firefox and Chrome for a difference usage, even though I really try to like Edge. Now if this newer version of Edge can get even better, it may change to Firefox and Edge sooner than I expect.
Now, there were 2 reason why I jumped out from Edge.
One, the tab constantly crash and vanish when I tried to rearrange tab. On top of that, it still run in background if I check it from Task Manager so I need to close the whole Edge.
Two, the bookmark system legacy from IE was awful. It was hard to navigate and manage.
With this new chromium based Edge, issue number one seems like gone. I've been browsing smoothly, hopefully it will stay that way or maybe even better. I remember the beta Edge when it first came out was okay and the performance fell afterward in each update.
The second issue, while it is better now and similar to how Chrome bookmark system is, it still far more inferior to what Firefox have. If Microsoft can take a note at how Firefox do it, you will have more edge than Chrome (pun intended).
I haven't use this new Edge version to access all sites I usually visit, but there is another thing Microsoft team can iron out. Power Usage for laptop user (see image below).
Compared to Firefox, this new Edge use more RAM and power usage even though I only open 3 tabs of this forum while Firefox open all my work tabs including news site with notorious ads. The power usage occasionally jump to High too which will make me think twice to use it in battery mode.
That is all from me for now
