MS made lots of Windows specific optimizations, with a focus on memory use. The other killer feature is 'secure mode' that disables JS JIT, which is where most if the security issues have come from in modern browsers. Plus, in this context, MS's incentives align much closer to mine than one if the largest advertising companies in the world.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI disagree. I have yet to see a browser try to enable so much telemetry and features that track everything you do on the web. There are like 30+ things unique to Edge that they push on users. Even after turning them off, I've had Edge magically turn them back on without my consent. Chrome isn't perfect, but if you know what to disable it really isn't that challenging to make it as privacy-friendly as Firefox... and Firefox isn't the perfect angel here either. Chromium is even better, especially on Linux to escape some of the "Google-ification". I really do not see any difference between Chromium and Firefox when it comes to default privacy settings. Regardless, it is always best to go in and disable them or use a policy file to do so.
