Chrome vs Edge: Have you ever heard that joke? "The only job of Internet Explorer browser is to download Chrome." Internet Explorer was made fun of a lot at that time due to its low usage. Especially in those days when Internet Explorer was a name of compulsion. But times have changed and now Microsoft Edge has replaced Internet Explorer. However, now it is not a part of that joke but has become a strong contender in the world of technology.

Edge surpasses Chrome
Microsoft's Edge browser was launched in the year 2015 and since then many improvements have been made in it. Now its performance is commendable. In many cases, it has surpassed Google's popular Chrome browser. Testing platforms like BrowserBench show that Edge's speed is much higher than Chrome's. According to the company, it is about 112% faster than Chrome.

Consumes less RAM

But the matter does not end here. For those who work with multiple tabs open in the browser, Edge can prove to be a game-changer. While Chrome draws about 3.7 GB of RAM when 60 tabs are opened, Edge gives better performance at just 2.9 GB. In such a situation, Edge becomes a great option for laptop users with low RAM.

Integration with Microsoft makes it special.

The specialty of Edge is not only its speed or memory management, but its seamless integration with Microsoft apps also makes it different from other browsers. A better experience with tools like Outlook, Office 365, and OneDrive is available only in Edge, which is especially beneficial for work-from-home and office users.

Based on Chromium

Since Edge is also Chromium-based, you can use almost all the extensions of Chrome in it as well. It also has extra tools like vertical tabs, sidebar shortcuts, dedicated reading mode and inbuilt PDF editor which are not present in Chrome.

Why Edge could not become popular?

Despite so many features, Edge's market share is still below 5%, while Chrome rules the hearts of more than 60% users. The reason behind this is not just technology, but mindset. The image of Internet Explorer being slow created a negative image of Microsoft browsers in people's minds. This is the reason why when Edge was launched in 2015, people considered it a new version of the old IE, even though it was a completely new platform.
