Edge Overtakes Firefox To Become the Second-Most Popular Browser

[Take It In Blood]

firefox is still the easiest on the cpu therefore its still number 1 in intelligent peoples eyes who dont follow trends

I use Safari as my primary browser on my Mac. Every other browser is a power hog on macOS, but I do still have Chrome, Firefox and Edge installed for those sites that don’t work correctly with Safari.

Edge on macOS seems like a good alternative to Chrome. I don’t trust Microsoft when it comes to privacy, but I trust Google even less. And Chrome tends to try to sign you into all of Google’s services whenever you log into just one of Google’s services.

They used to be bing rewards. Now they're Microsoft rewards. Basically they give you rewards points for using Bing on different platforms and have fun little time killing trivias that also give rewards points.

Those points can be used to enter raffles for prizes or you can convert them into gift cards at star bucks, xbox live, or a variety of other stores.

I think the link is Microsoft.com/rewards

You also get points for purchases on XBL

Chrome hogs way too much memory

Points for achieving quests on Xbox live as well. E. G. I get points for opening 2k20 because it's on game pass now.

ever since I started using macbook pro for my work few years back, Ive noticed how much less resource hog safari is compared to other browsers. I was like too bad theres too many sites now where safari doesnt work correctly or else Id always use it on that laptop.

The frustrating part I've noticed is a lot of sites will work correctly for the most part, but little features here and there will be broken if you're using Safari vs. using Chrome.

Given how web developers use Chrome as a de-facto standard when making sites, it makes sense why Microsoft decided to base Edge off of Chromium (the open source browser Chrome is based on). They can avoid all of those incompatibilities.

man, I miss the old opera. sometimes it would be completely incompatible with a site, but the features it carried were amazing. my favorite browser of all time and I believe the last of the mohicans before the chromium standard craze
