  1. Is Chrome Really Faster Now


    Because there are many proprietary Share Point Server functions that ONLY work in IE and only designed to work there, and no other browser. Many companies use Share Point in their internal networks and depend on both IE and Share Point.

    I do not like Chrome, but after a long time I tried it and found it was faster than IE 11 Internet speed. Did they fix it or what? It was always at most half Internet speed of FireFox or IE 11.

    how to remove all bookmarks from Microsoft Edge

    Yes, Edge is a bit faster... but that's not really a great selling point. What they should compare against Chrome is the amount of spying the Google does with Chrome

    Is Chrome Really Faster Now

    google chrome problems in windows 10

    I was having trouble with Chrome freezing as well. I opened Chrome settings, advanced settings and unchecked the "prefetch resources to load pages more quickly". This seems to have cleared up the problem. Chrome is now working faster than ever.

    Hope this helps.

  5. Chrome has been fast for me for a while now. I used the new Firefox for a bit and it seemed just as fast. I still use Chrome for my main browser. It is the best for me.

    Chrome is fine, its unfair to compare it with IE11 since thats no longer developed.

  8. Is Chrome Really Faster Now

    I've tried to ignore IE as the plague and used it only if I absolutely must. *Wink I have always used Chrome and It has been really snappy for me. Now I use Edge for most tasks and it seems to do a decent job too after a few system tweak. *Smile

    I still lie IE 11 and it is fast as always. Just never got used to Chrome or Edge as well. Maybe later.

    For me, Edge is faster. I still use Chrome though because I have two profiles with tray/dock shortcuts -- one for business and one for personal, each with different saved username/passwords and bookmarks. Edge won't allow that (to my knowledge) and definitely won't also sync the bookmarks and passwords to my Mac like Chrome does.

  12. Howdy, Eric:

    I did a fast Google search for you (microsoft edge multiple profiles) which confirms your experience of Edge:

    Multiple Logins in Edge Browser
    I personally accomplish this end by using different email addresses (personal vs business) and then SORT as required.

    Personally, I'm leaning towards Chrome due to the extensions it provides... however Google's increasing intrusion of data by telemetry, advertising and privacy... are a BIG turnoff for me... and one that I am proactively pushing back on.

    Comments from other power users?

    THX for getting back. ~ Alan


    P.S. I just found the following during in my Google research:

    Is Chrome Really Faster Now

    That doesn't solve the issue of being able to sync bookmarks/passwords between my Windows work computer and iMac home computer/MacBook laptop. Edge isn't available for macOS that I know of, and sync'ing with iCloud is possible. However, it won't allow me to sync multiple profiles with iCloud.

    Your download speed and caching and prediction settings(if you allow this) relate to speed of a Web Browser, not the actual Browser speed that matters for most people.

    Whether you want to use a particular Web Browser is your choice as to usability. You may require a certain functionality of a particular Web Browser.

    People just slagging off a Web Browser they don't ever use is pointless nonsense.

    IE 11 is in Windows 10 because the Edge Browser has taken sometime to develop sufficiently. Around 5 years.
