Good Try – Microsoft Edge: AI Browser Review

I’ve been a (sometimes shamed) fan of Google Chrome since 2010 or so. Decided to Edge a serious try this year. Switched to using it as my default browser everywhere (W10, macOS, iPad and iPhone). Overall experience is mixed. Yeah, it’s fast and uses less RAM than Chrome, but it also just didn’t work on a lot of websites. I kept having to jump back to Chrome. Also, initially, getting logged into my Microsoft account on my iOS devices was impossible, as it kept trying to use a old (and years defunct) work Outlook login. That was eventually fixed. On the RAM issue: I found it no better than Chrome with the Great Suspender extension. Even with the same extension installed in Edge (most of my Chrome extensions worked okay, if sometimes funky). My experiment came to an end when Edge on my iPhone crashed, and lost *all* my open tabs. In all my years of using Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on my various iPhones, that has never happened. Immediately switched back to Chrome. Maybe I’ll try Edge in another year or so.
