Is Edge Better Than Chrome

[murraymints]

have been having a fair bit of trouble with chrome of late. just had an update and a pop up saying edge is safer ? any idea ?

Minty....I have used CHROME for years, since I abandoned MS Explorer, and have never looked back.

It seems to do what it says on the tin !

If Chrome is playing up, try resetting it:

I can think of no reason why Edge should be considered either 'safer' or 'better' than Chrome.

If you want to try a different browser, the latest release of Firefox ('Quantum') is extremely fast:

Vivaldi

and Avant are also well worth considering

just been haing a few problems the last week or two, not sure if chrome is to blame, but since the update a suggestion popped up

If that pop-up is offering you a link to click on, avoid it like the plague!

Instead, run Malwarebytes (if you've already got it on your computer) or install and run AdwCleaner otherwise:

I spy malware!!!

I have both Minty. Edge is my preferred browser. I am using Edge now. It is not a bad idea to have at least two browsers installed anyway. In the event of one going down(not unknown) you can still get online. It can be a bit of a faff at first getting all your apps. set up and a task bar sorted but once done you are covered. Remember though to import your bookmarks( called favourite in Edge) from chrome to Edge. Adding another browser will no impact on your pc performance or slow it down. Edge is particularly suited to defender. I would also remind you to add the unmentionable to your Edge browser. There is a version for Edge.

it's an interesting philosophical proposition - run your life solely according to what pop-ups tell you... what could go wrong?

[murraymints]

jno you cynic, it presented after a windows update and just made me think after recent strife

Do not let yourself be panicked about a pop up Minty. If it was linked to a Microsoft upgrade it will be kosher. If you prefer you can use this Microsoft link.

in no way panicked..lol... just food for thought as I took 2 hours to get on this morning !

The pop-up I occasionally get is that Edge is faster than Chrome. I'm quite happy with Chrome so won't be changing any time soon.

[murraymints]

hi Jack xx how are you doing ?

[Jackdaw33]

Much better, thanks, although still a long way to go. At least I can now stand and walk, albeit with a walking frame.

[murraymints]

progress though..hope it continues, mind how you go xx

[murraymints]

[douglas9401]
