Microsoft Edge vs Google Chrome

Title bout says it all. I currently use Chrome on my desktop and every morning when I log in this Microsoft Edge window pops up telling my why its better than Chrome. So what say the Tech Board on this? Stick to Chrome or use Edge?

Stay with Chrome. Those are ads from microsoft for a microsoft product in a microsoft product.

Until Edge has full extension support and tons of useful extensions, it is worthless.

kinda figured it might be an add trying to drum up buisness

There is no good reason to use a Microsoft browser if you're not accessing a government computer or certain government sites.
I'm still at Firefox (mostly), because I use a number of plug ins. However, I've used Chrome off and on for years - and see a time in the near future where I'll be all Chrome.
Edge?

Used them for a while but their plugins do not mesh with some AutoCad 2016 for some reason.

Extensions are life. I can't give those up.

I think people just bash Edge cause its Microsoft. I use both Edge and Chrome all day. No big differences. Edge uses way less resources. Chrome has extensions.

Edge is a mix of Chrome and Explorer. Has some quirks that annoy me enough to not use it

Chrome on my desktop.
Edge on my Surface.
I have no problems using either one.

I think in terms of browsing, Edge is on par with Chrome or maybe even better.
However the lack of extensions and not being able to sync across all of my devices makes me not want to try it.

Since the last update (back in the Fall, October maybe), Edge is running well for me. I don't need/use extensions. Chrome is a resource hog and frankly I don't care for Google's political agenda so I stay away from their products as much as possible.

They're tracking you anyway.

I use Chrome. Why? Because I have no particular reason to switch to Edge. I don't think there's anything wrong with Edge, it's just that Chrome does just fine for me.

No doubt because I prefer Android phones over Apple's closed proprietary architecture so Google has me there. I have said this a number of times but there is significant need for some non-political players/competition in the tech industry. Conservatives are basically forced to support through their patronage the liberal progressive agenda (or do without) because liberals dominate the tech industry. The same is true of most forms of media as well.

The right answer is both. I've got Edge, Chrome and Firefox pinned to my taskbar, they all have specific roles.
Chrome and Firefox for browsing.. Edge for video/media because it's true 1080p/60fps, the others are capped at 720p
