Tell HN: Microsoft Edge is browser with least learning curve from Chrome
Chrome has been abusing there position from quite long. They are moving to Manifest V3, they don't support extensions on mobile and they disabled option to change webview.
Firefox is recommended choice to most people, but for some learning curve can be big(I tried to switch but failed several times). Reason might be performance, look and feel or devtools.
I found MS edge to be best candidate to switch from Chrome. It supports adblocker on mobile, has better privacy features, is as fast as chrome and has same devtools.
- groffee 4y ago'learning curve'? It's a browser, not a rocket ship.
- akmittal 4y agoWell if you dig deep into devtools, it's not less than a rocket ship
- yoasif_ 4y agoEdge is also moving to Manifest v3 and don't support extensions on mobile.
- coffeeling 4y agoThey do have AdBlock Plus, but that's obviously not ideal.
- azatom 4y agoI have tried it for months on desktop - not as secondary or main, but as the only browser.. and a lot. And switched back. I just can not get used to the "slow" pdf engine. On scrolling/paging for split second it is blurry (chrome/ium, firefox are fine). About the other reasons I am not sure, but even if the pdf engine changes, the little annoyances just make Edge as a least painfull solution for who is forced occasionally (workplace/etc), or just only a few minutes per day/week browsing on desktop.
