I switched from Chrome to Edge because:

* No Google tracking.

* Blocks 3rd party trackers.

* Zoom/Scroll is smoother.

* Better optimized for touch screens.

* Longer battery life.

* Seems to use less RAM.

* All my Chrome extensions are compatible.

* I can watch Netflix in 4K. Can't do that on Chrome or on a Mac.



The battery performance of old Spartan edge was amazing, great for laptops/tablets. Have they managed to keep that kind of performance with their new chromium version? (I haven't updated yet)


Have you compared Edge to Brave? It got really good recently.

I was going to start using Edge but 1password wasn't working and that was a deal breaker for me.
