Considered Both Products
Microsoft Edge
Chose Microsoft Edge
Both run on Chromium, so it's the same browser, but in terms of manageability, Edge has the edge!
Chose Microsoft Edge
They are all at the global same level. Using several web-brwoser allow segmentation to use one or other for specific use-case.
Chose Microsoft Edge
I actually use all three products for different tasks. I find it helpful to use different products so that I am familiar with them. This allows me to assist coworkers who use different products. I am familiar enough with each similar product that I can help other employees …
Chose Microsoft 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 …
Chose Microsoft Edge
Edge had better software development than Chrome. The security is superior and the features you get in Edge outweigh what Chrome offers.
Chose Microsoft Edge
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. …
Chose Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge provides a free GPT-4 functionality where I can avail the upload feature of files for summarization.
Chose Microsoft Edge
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 …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Vivaldi offers customization support in many subjects. If you are looking for something beyond what you already use, Vivaldi can be a good alternative for you. It may not be at a Chrome level in terms of performance, but if you are looking for an internet browser and tools that you can manage the details of, it is useful to have a look. In general, Vivaldi is an application that does everything adequately. It does not have a built-in VPN. But internally it offers mail, calendar, translation, and manageable tools (tab groups, etc).

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.
