![]() One area where it did win though was in privacy. In my daily usage I did not notice that much of a difference probably because I have a M1 MacBook Pro. Apparently The Brave Browser is 3 times faster than Chrome. Because of this I was easily able to install all of the extensions making it feel just like Google Chrome. The Brave Browser was slightly easier to setup because it seems to use the same Google Chrome web store that the Google Chrome web browser uses. I'm sure other web browsers can do this too I could be wrong but I think it would require an extension though as its not a built in feature. I also like the fact that it can turn generate a QR for any webpage so you can use a phones barcode scanner to go to that page. Many web browsers can already do this but made Microsoft Edge standout was the fact that a lot of the voices sounded natural and not robotic like in other browsers. Read Aloud basically turns on the voice assistant that reads all of the text on a page. Another two great features that I liked were having the ability to "Read Aloud" and also "Creating a QR code for a page". That's perfectly fine because they are already great. The developer tools are basically the same as Google Chrome as far as I could tell. It is possible to change the default search engine but I found that it was quite hard to find it in the settings I think they really want you to use Bing □ The default search engine is Bing which is fine because its a Microsoft browser after all but I wanted to set it to Google as default. It gives you slightly more space and you can keep open tabs out of the way by having them on the side as small icons. One of the nicest features was being able to make the toolbar horizontal or vertical. Fortunately I found an alternative called ColorFish which is very similar. ![]() However there were some that were missing like ColorZilla. I was able to find and install almost all of the extensions that I already had installed with Google Chrome. Microsoft has an Edge add-on store which is very similar to the Google Chrome web store. I wanted to mirror my Google Chrome setup so it felt the same. ![]() Google uses this codebase to create the Chrome browser hence the name.Īfter I had downloaded and installed Microsoft Edge I started to install extensions. Both browsers are built using Chromium which is an open-source codebase which can be used for building web browsers. In my first week I used Microsoft Edge and in my second week I used The Brave Browser. I never really thought about trying it until now. And the Brave Browser which has been around since 2016. However I was curious how it would compare up against the likes Microsoft Edge which recently became available on macOS in April. When Google Chrome was released that became my first choice browser and Safari was my second choice up until now. These days the competition has really heated up and there are now many web browsers to choose from. It was very popular and had very few competitors back then other than Internet Explorer. For a few years Firefox was my web browser of choice.
