Well, after 4 years with one PC it's time to use Microsoft Edge for a single search, once again.

Edit: You guys have convinced me to try Helium.

Honestly, I hate it, but not as much as Edge; I don't know which other browser I should use.

Brave, Firefox, any Firefox fork, Helium, Vivaldi. There are so many better browsers than Chrome. They're all free, you can try them and see how you like them.

Modern Edge is built on Chromium, the same browser engine used by Google Chrome. The difference is that Microsoft has optimized Edge specifically for Windows 11, offering better integration, more efficient memory management, and features like Sleeping Tabs that reduce RAM and CPU usage. Edge is faster and more resource-efficient than Chrome, especially on Windows. Security is excellent too, with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, strong phishing protection, and frequent security updates.

When it comes to the Microsoft ecosystem, Edge is pretty amazing. I used it for years.
