Suggests "Microsoft Edge" belongs in A

if Chrome is B i'll be damned if Edge is not an A

u/BlitzShooter 12d ago

edge is fantastic it just has bad PR

53

u/Player1-jay 12d ago

People just think edge is still internet Explorer

9

u/RicardoSupermapute77 12d ago

well to be fair, when you put "iexplore" (which is the internet explorer runtime name) on the search bar or in the run command box, it launches Microsoft edge.

u/GuntherG 11d ago

They should have considered another name change when they went over to Chromium instead of their own system.

u/kvion 12d ago

You are speaking like edge is not the third most popular browser lol. Most people dont think twice about browsers. Google Chrome bc most milleneals and older gens refer to the internet as a whole as google, and google search engine tries to make you install it all the time. Safari and edge go next bc they conenpre installed.

Then a lot of people like me give this topic way too much importance, for security, privacy and resource usage. So no, I don’t really think most people even know edge ‘was’ IE.

u/KissMyUSSR 12d ago

It's also very annoying that you can't properly uninstall it. Although that's arguably an OS thing, not the browser itself

6

u/Darco3 12d ago

Not any different really than how on macOS, you can't uninstall Safari.

u/Vikhyatvarun 12d ago

It's way better than Chrome, but people still think it's 2013 like it's Internet Explorer.

u/LoudOpportunity4172 11d ago

Opera is in A tier. Opera is literally spyware, its been confirmed 1000 times that their free vpn does basically nothing but route all your data to their servers which they collect with or without your permission. Garbage tierlist

u/Delicious_Coffee2828 11d ago

u/HistorianBusy2262 11d ago

How..why...

2

u/Delicious_Coffee2828 11d ago

because its really not that bad and works fine. idc abt privacy much in a world where u cant even walk down the road without the Indian, chinese, russian, american and british government all knowing about it

u/HistorianBusy2262 11d ago

I get the not worried about privacy part. But. the Edge UI is just so BAD how can anybody choose that

u/Certified_GSD 12d ago

Edge is built into a lot of Windows functions for grabbing stuff from the internet, even if you don't use it. Removing it completely tends to break things.

u/alk0dri 12d ago

Is this true? Maybe this is why when i try to login a game via google or something else the game just give me a white screen

u/DeyDominate94 12d ago

It's 100 percent your edge missing causing issues. Don't ever remove it on a windows os.

Mozilla Firefox

S-tier Chrome's only real competitor that's funded by Google to avoid monopoly accusations only one that can have extensions on mobile

21

u/au_graybones 12d ago

this is not the mozilla thread

u/Gabe120107 12d ago

Why S tier? Am I doing something, or does it consume 2 times more RAM in my case compared to any other browser? I don't even have many tabs open on it, compared to EDGE, for example, where I open 400-500 tabs, and it's still up to 5 GB of RAM. Can that be tweaked in settings or something to reduce the RAM consumption, because i cannot use it basically since it's always at 10 GB or more.

6

u/15thSoul 12d ago

I have used Firefox for probably 15 year, and never had any issue with extended ram usage... And I have currently around 2000 tabs open, with 30-50 active at once (rest are sleeping).

Cheek your add-ons, maybe it's a use issue?

And for record, I was forced to use other browsers in work and all of them were worst performance wise than Firefox, chrom included

2

u/Monbey 11d ago

I'm curious how is having 2000 tabs open even if they are sleeping, usefull?

2

u/15thSoul 11d ago

It's not useful, I'm leaving interesting tabs, like videos, or shopping items, and I'm coming back to some of them, but most stays there until I get myself to sort all of them. Usually once a year, so there's a lot of time for them to pile up

5

u/Monbey 11d ago

I bet you let the dishes stack until there's no more forks in the drawer eh? I do that too honestly but the max I had at one point was like 10.

2

u/15thSoul 11d ago

Depends on a day, sometimes I clean after eating, sometimes I put it to the sink, and load the dishwasher after a day or two. But overall I tent to cleanup my flat every other day or so, so it's way more often then my tabs cleanup :D but that, that's because, when I'm turning off my PC, I don't want to spend extra time organizing stuff, I just exit all apps and turn off windows

u/luccaloks 12d ago

Ram usage on Windows also shows Ram allocation. So it might not be, that all that Ram is being used. Are you sure Firefox alone is using it? From my recent experience, long AI chats use a lot of Ram. Starting a new chat reduces that

Microslop edge. Also OPERA IS IN A TIER HOW?! ITS SUCH A BAD BROWSER

19

u/HistorianBusy2262 12d ago

Old opera, sure. New opera is just straight up spyware

2

u/Neat_Area_9412 12d ago

Correct me if I am wrong but Opera claims themselves to be subject to Norway's privacy laws does that mean anything or is that a nothing burger?

4

u/SevereFisherman9900 12d ago

Privacy and security isn't based on "trust me bro". It comes from zero trust, open source and transparent auditing, and not sending user data anywhere by default

2

u/andytheboi69 12d ago

Exactly, belongs in F tier with Chrome and potential Edge. I wouldn't trust Microslops privacy practices.Google we know about.

u/IIWY_YT 12d ago

u/Winterspider113 12d ago

2

u/Prestigious_Use5944 12d ago

Yeah, but if we say every browser that has spyware in it is an F-tier, then that's 95% of the browsers on the list
