    Firefox Quantum vs. Edge


    By the time you figure out what all the stupid squiggly icons in Edge are, you could do what you want in Firefox 10 times over. Why don't the designers just put text there instead of forcing you to hover the mouse over the icon to find out what the h--l it is.....
    I'll say one thing, Edge is slowly getting better for me - at least you can now nest favourites in the favourites bar, instead of being shunted off to the right hand sIde dropdown list....Pity about the wasted vertical space between lines though; I suppose that's for people with touch screens & fat fingers.
    I'll give it another 6 months till I try it again, but I doubt I'll ever move from Firefox.

    Never thought I would say it but I favor Edge. These days Chrome and Firefox are updated way too often and many times with breakage of some sort. Edge so far, has only been updated to add features and I have not had any issues with it at all. Edge has a clean interface, extensions and is reasonably fast.

    Is Edge the fastest, no. Is Edge reliable, yes, very much so. To each their own but I have grown to like Edge. I see people using Palemoon as their browser because they dislike the rapid release cycle that Firefox and Chrome use. For me Edge is kind of the same. Just my opinion. Use whatever works best for your particular needs.*Smile

    The other day I had to go to the Social Security website to fill out some forms. I was using Edge and except for accessing the main page none of the links worked. Using Firefox I was able to click on the links and finish what I needed to do. IMHO Edge still needs a lot of work. As for speed, I don't give to much credit to the speed test because there are to many factors that can influence the results.
