Both run on Chromium, so it's the same browser, but in terms of manageability, Edge has the edge!

I used to use Chrome exclusively, but once I started using Microsoft Edge, I noticed that they have some innovative features that Chrome didn't originally have to manage search results. Microsoft Edge seems to have forced Google to improve their features. Now I use both about …

Edge had better software development than Chrome. The security is superior and the features you get in Edge outweigh what Chrome offers.

We selected Microsoft Edge because we had a certain business need that utilized their Microsoft Edge in IE Mode. Once we began to use the browser more, we found that it was much less taxing on our system's resources than other browsers, especially Google Chrome. Less RAM being …

Chose Microsoft Edge
I would say that all 3 (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge) compare well against each other. I've heard of many organizations trying to push Google Chrome as the superior of the 3 but in my opinion Microsoft Edge (which came pre-installed on my laptop) was the go …

Chose Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is bundled with both of my laptops, but I have no reason to get rid of either. Opera, when I used it, was a bit clunky, and frankly a little bare-bones for my liking. Firefox is an equal for Microsoft Edge, but has an issue with stability on my personal laptop. …

I would use Microsoft Edge usually over Google Chrome. Chrome is useful because it helps keep continuity between the different devices you might be using for work. I would still choose Microsoft Edge over Google Chrome because I like the layout better, and it does a better job …

Microsoft Edge stands up against other browsers, depending on the needs of your organization. It's fast and dependable, with a user friendly interface. Many of our legacy systems rely on old functionality that is utilized in the IE Mode. We also like that because we use other Microsoft Office products, we can open and edit those directly within Microsoft Edge. But many extensions we'd be interested in aren't available for this particular browser.

Cons
  • Sometimes, some functions don't seem to work while browsing Incognito.
  • I'm not sure if this is an Edge issue, but if you set up the Passwordless Experience in Windows and don't have Windows Hello configured, when you attempt to view a password, it displays a prompt that doesn't work.

Usability
I use Edge daily - all day. I typically have 2 Edges open on two different screens as well. While Edge and Chrome are both built on the Chromium platform, Edge completely beas out Chrome regarding security, usability, and functionality.

Return on Investment
  • It is good to have an alternative to Google...different results...which means more choices and information than from one source.
  • Sometimes Microsoft Edge information results is not as robust as Google so we need to use Google too.
  • The integration with Microsoft products is really nice...since we are a Microsoft shop.
