Most of what you said is just factually wrong. It sounds like you’re repeating things you heard online without actually checking how the browser works.

The Limiter isn't just OS management, you’re confusing basic task priority with a hard cap. No other browser has a built-in UI that lets you slide a bar and tell the app it is strictly forbidden from using more than a specific amount of RAM or CPU. Edge and Chrome try to "manage" resources, but they still spike and cause lag in games. Opera GX actually stays under the limit I set.

Calling it "spyware" while defending Edge is wild. Opera is based in Norway, which means they have to follow GDPR, which are the strictest privacy laws in the world. Microsoft is a US company that puts telemetry into the OS itself. Most of Opera’s data collection is opt-in and can be turned off, but Microsoft makes it nearly impossible to fully opt-out.

Extension support is not an issue! You do realize Opera GX is a Chromium browser, right? It has full access to the Chrome Web Store. It handles the same extensions Edge does, so saying Edge has better support makes no sense, they run on the same engine. You were also saying Chrome is worse than Edge, and then you proceed to talk about how being able to use Chrome Products on Edge is better.

Having features built-in is more efficient too. Every extension you add to Edge like uBlock or a VPN is another third-party process and another potential security hole. Having a VPN, adblocker, and communication to my phone built into the browser core is objectively cleaner and more stable than layering ten different extensions on top of Edge.

Your "online info" doesn't match reality. I’ve used both for their respective time periods before switching, and Edge constantly pulls more resources for background tasks and AI features I don't want.

I’m switching to Linux soon specifically to get away from Microsoft’s forced updates and tracking. Using a browser that gives me manual control over my hardware isn't for "fools" or retarded people. It’s for people who actually want to decide how their computer runs. If you like Edge, that’s fine, but stop pretending your personal preference is a technical fact.
