Summary

  • Microsoft Edge does not perform as well as Google Chrome for browsing the internet, and requires further development to reach the standard of its competitors.
  • That said, some features of Edge shows potential, including: picture-in-picture viewing - missing from Chrome, but useful for watching YouTube videos whilst browsing the internet; startup boost - making the browser ready to use instantly after booting; a home screen weather widget, which gives a simple and instant aide to forecast information; and vertical tabs - an easier way to switch between tabs and view everything that is open.
  • The latter two functions would be particularly enhanced if Google added them to Chrome as part of its standard make-up, thus saving users time and effort.
