Microsoft Edge Just Dropped These Brilliant New Features to Beat Chrome
- croes 6y agoJust to clarify because the title sounds like the opposite. "Microsoft Edge 85 packs some brilliant features that could tempt Google Chrome users looking to switch browsers."
- aphroz 6y agoSo Edge is now second ? Poor Firefox
- kdtsh 6y agoFirefox really seems like it’s doing everything right in terms of application development. If it doesn’t break into the market again and start increasing its user base, I don’t know where it goes from here. Of course it doesn’t need to have 40-50% of market usage to be good, but having a browser which steadily improves doesn’t seem feasible in the long term if usage is dropping off, or at least isn’t stabilising. Like many others I made the switch to Chrome when it came out, but then came back to Firefox some years later. It would be a very sad day for Firefox to go into maintenance mode. Mozilla has already shed a load of talented developers.
- aphroz 6y agoThey should try to change name like Edge did, people associate Firefox to an old browser, it reminds them when internet was slow and it carries old memories. No matter how good it can be, it requires an effort for the user to do the switch. and try it out. The effort is probably greater when it's actually a comeback.
- bradknowles 6y agoI wouldn’t consider any of these “features” to be brilliant. Might make things somewhat better in a pure Enterprise/Windows environment, but nothing that couldn’t easily be solved with a couple of extensions.
