genuine question, how much does that really matter when it comes to performance? in my personal experience, on my system, edge does feel faster than chrome and most other browsers. but also, it’s not really a big enough difference for me for it to be a valid reason to use it over other browsers. like realistically i dont normally register these tiny fractions of seconds and milliseconds unless im deliberately payig attention for some reason. on the other hand, on my computer (and my bf’s computer (he runs Opera GX as his default browser)) at least, Opera GX is by far and extremely noticeably the best browser i have ever used in terms of performance, and it also uses the same engine as Edge and Chrome. i dont use Opera GX daily and i almost never recommend it to people but if i want to run some kind of browser based game or heavy interactive multimedia or website, or if i want to load something as quickly as possible, it’s basically the only realistic option on my system. before Opera GX, the closest thing that ever compared was Maxthon Nitro which was also based on Chromium. but Maxthon was maybe even less privacy friendly than Chrome lol. anyway, i can easily get 60+ fps in Opera GX in those situations where other browsers make me feel like im playing on the cheap Dells and eMachines i grew up with: lucky to get 10fps but still loafing pages in well under a second. i assumed this was because, although these browsers all run the same underlying open source technologies, each company has made their own proprietary changes to it in order to tweak certain things. in the case of Edge, better albeit forced integration with Windows, in the case of Opera, noticeably better performance. idk if Microsoft made changes that improved performance compared to Chrome on purpose, but that has still been my personal experience. on the other end of the spectrum, Vivaldi, even if i like it more than them, is often noticeably much slower than any of these browsers (often taking over a second to load big pages) and it’s also based on Chromium.
in terms of performance, on my computer, Firefox seems to be usually more or less identical to Chrome. not hating on it, i love firefox and it’s usually the first browser i recommend to ppl (when it’s not the first browser i recommend, that’s usually only because the person I’m talking to is looking for some kind of very specific or even niche feature that imo some other browser can do better than Firefox), but i dont notice a difference on my computer between it and chrome when it comes to performance. but im also not someone who cares that much about loading times, like i said these differences are often within milliseconds and i just don’t normally even notice unless im trying extra hard to pay attention, and im normally not. Opera GX and Vivaldi are outliers only because of how dramatic the differences are for me.
At least it runs decently enough. Better than chrome
It’s literally the same engine
