Windows 10: Microsoft Edge vs. Google Chrome: Which web browser is faster?

Source: Microsoft Edge vs. Google Chrome: Which web browser is faster?

 

Well, I have installed Ghostery to block tracking and my browsing speed almost tripled. *Smile
No to mention extensions to block flash, HTML5 or to get rid of tracking cookies. Try that Edge.

Adobe Flash updates

Which web browsers are you using again?

If you are using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, updates for Flash are managed by Windows Update.

If you are using Google Chrome, Flash updates are managed separately by the web browser.

Bing Hijacked my Chrome Browser

Hi Aiden,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

As you are facing issue with Browser homepage, do let us know the following to assist you better:

• Which browser pops-up after the Windows startup (Microsoft Edge/ Internet Explorer)?
• Which is the default web browser on your computer?

I suggest you to make Google Chrome as a default web browser also, try to edit the home page in Google Chrome and check if it helps.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue to assist you further.

 

Have not used Chrome for ages
On my friends windows 7 it is as slow as hell and keeps brining up all sorts of ads etc.
On 10 Edge is fast and we in our household and daughters household are very pleased with it.

 

Both are slow at loading Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com and trying to scroll through it. Same thing with xda-developers as well, killing flash process does help a little. Thanks @TairikuOkami, just installed Ghostery...

 

There is nothing I like about Edge. By all rights it should be faster, because it has nothing but 10trillion adds to slow it down.

My Chrome is fast once it gets loaded, I have tons of extensions loaded, so it needs to get all of those before it starts down the road. Even with the extensions, it is as fast as the all the other IE, FF and Edge. I would use FF by default only if it had the extensions I use with Chrome. Besides I only have a temp Windows 10 (only for testing) so I would never use Edge any ways, because I will never us Windows 10, IMO it is a pitiful OS.

 

I believe that EDGE is the fastest browser I have ever seen.

 

Exactly why are you here then with 385 comments?

 

If you don't like Windows 10 why are you posting.
Are you hoping for those that do like it to change our mind or to drop Edge Browser.
You can try but it will never work with me, to try and get me to use Chrome.
I am an Edge man through and through and to me and the other members of my family Edge is fast and capable of doing everything Chrome does, in time once everything is added

 

IE and Firefox - the only way to fly.

Oh, and Opera on the Win-phone.

Been using Edge for a bit now as my default, getting better now since the last update

Not sure on its speed, not meaning it is slow, but it is no faster than IE or Chrome
Mostly going to stick with it now, except for some sites and if I want to view files on the internet (do not like the auto downloading of links)

 

Just an update Edge goes in fast for YouTube and holds it steady and YouTube works well through Edge.
My Friend who I am trying to get converted to windows 10 uses Chrome and you tube seems to hang before it starts working, then starts slowing.
I have cleared all rubbish from his laptop and he only has the basic programs on his system.
All updates and drivers are working, and it is only you tube it is doing it with.
Cant understand both You Tube and Chrome are Google apps but they seem to clash.

 

Youtube now tries to use HTML5 when possible.

If there are problems Google Groups is the place to start looking for answers.

Usually the problem with Chrome in Windows is the Internet Properties of Windows default to "Automatically detect Settings" here:





On some systems, there is a noticeable delay as Chrome hunts for a non-existent proxy server. Uncheck the box, and Chrome often responds much faster.

 

The problem with Chrome is actually using the built in Flash Player and using hardware acceleration.
