Have not regretted it.

People still use IE?

You would be surprised it usually older people though and occasionally you run into certain add ons and plugins that dont work well or at all in some browsers.

Who the hell uses IE by choice?

The only reason I use IE is when an application at work hasn't been updated to use Chrome.

IE hasn't been the default browser for windows since 10 dropped. I'd imagine at this point they either haven't updated or they're using it by choice.

Chrome has been trash for a while lately. Its getting more bloated and utilizing more CPU and memory than before. My desktop before never had any problemm running chrome, and over the past few months, I've seen random CPU surges all due to chrome.

They need to optimize the browser and fix this shyt.

True, the whole reason Chrome got so popular among other things was because it was very quick, clean and without any unnecessary bullshyt to slow it down. But has lately become more and more bloated, especially with all the add ons.

Recently I switched to Opera, mostly because of their YouTube video pop-out feature. This is cooked crack.

Chrome is a shell of the light speed alternative it used to be. Edge is so much faster at just about everything now.

 

[EndDomination]

To be fair, when testing browser speed and a few other factors, IE and Edge perform just as well, if not better, than some of their rival browsers.
Its been that way for a little while now, the stigma certainly won't be going away anytime soon, unfortunately.

The Edge browser isn't bad at all.

Chromium still has deep Google tied code.

Even connects on launch according to the net internals page.
