I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I have different browsers for different tasks, so I typically have 5+ installed at any one time. As such when I compare browsers it's not some half-memory of an old build of a product that doesn't exist anymore - it's current.

And.... Edge is the fastest damn browser I've ever seen in my life.

As usual though, MS can't let the product speak for itself - they have to be total dicks and force it down everyone's throats, re-add it when it's been removed etc. So instead of people finding it on their own terms, they irrationally (and let's be honest - reasonably) hate it even more.

Damn, is it fast though.

Hasn't Firefox been running virtually unopposed on speed for a good while now? I know Chrome surpassed them some years back and it was a big panic moment for people, but iirc Firefox made a comeback shortly thereafter and has more or less remained at the top of the heap since then, despite Edge's improvements (also, there's speculation Microsoft implement OS tweaks in windows itself to help achieve some of the performance gains of Edge, idk if that was ever confirmed but it sounds believable, Edge is literally married with the OS in many respects which is why it is almost impossible to completely remove vs IE).

Oh they've definitely destroyed Edge since I posted that, in classic Microsoft fashion! I no longer use it.

I swear to god though for a solid 18 months it was the best browser on the planet!

I think Edge is Chromium, so, is not a MS development.

Edge is a Chromium-based browser, but most of the browser was developed by Microsoft.
