edge isn't a real chrome alternative from a technological standpoint. it's the same thing reskinned. the only browsers that are still a true alternative at this point are firefox and safari
- moonchrome 5y agoI specifically remember them bragging about doing power consumption optimization. Microsoft is actively working on the rendering engine afaik. Safari isn't cross platform and Firefox is mostly worse than Chrome in my experience.
- asddubs 5y agobut aren't they upstreaming those improvements?
- anakaine 5y agoEdge does tend to have far better battery usage, however. Just because it shares the same base does not mean there have not been optimisations along the way.
- siproprio 5y agoUnfortunately, if they exist, those optimizations are not open source.
