It's a better product in many ways. It can read aloud documents, and it offers GPT features for free. Besides browser engines are similar.
But google has done a better job of locking-in users and, eventhough it is not that hard to switch passwords etc, people like me don't want to have multiple copies of their data so we don't switch. Google took advantage of the network lock-in features by adding profiles, all your passwords, your history etc etc. I want to use only 1 browser in all operating systems now, so I don't switch.
The switch might have happened with Firefox , but not with Edge
- bad_user 3y agoI haven't opened Edge in a while, but it used to give you a consent dialog from IAB, with which Microsoft informed you that they share your data with the entire advertising industry. Its telemetry is probably impossible to deactivate. Like Chrome, it also shares an advertising ID that tracks you, meant for Bing Ads. Edge doesn't e2e encrypt your synchronized data. Edge is hardcoded to use Bing even more than Chrome is hardcoded to use Google's Search. And overall it seems more bloated. I want a browser not a coupons dispenser. Bing's AI is available for other browsers as well. That sidebar is nice, but I can live without it. I really don't understand why people say that Edge is a better browser, when it's objectively the worst of the mainstream ones.
