There’s support for SmartScreen, which Microsoft introduced a few years back.

Microsoft Edge features a host of modern technologies, which makes it one of the most secure browsers. Internet Explorer was panned over the years for being not-so-secure and Microsoft has apparently learned its lesson. You can change your privacy preferences for suggestions in Omnibox, cookies, images and more. Chrome also lets you customise your privacy features in the Settings for various websites. When it comes to privacy, Google Chrome gives you various features like Do not track and Incognito mode, which lets you browse websites without it appearing in Chrome’s history or record. Chrome also comes with a “ Safe Browsing” technology, which shows you a warning if it thinks the website may contain malware or phishing. There are security features like Sandboxing, which prevents malicious code from a website along with securing plugins. There have been concerns regarding Google’s data hogging with Chrome but if you are okay with that, Chrome is a pretty secure browser. Google Chrome wins here and it’s no surprise, considering Edge is new and it should take some time before it can compete with Google Chrome on the web standards front. While Edge does come with support for all major web standards, they still need improvements as benchmark scores suggest. That also means no more support for legacy web standards like Active X, DirectX Filters, Silverlight etc. Edge’s layout engine has been build to support modern web standards like Shell Helper API, custom download managers and more. Microsoft has apparently worked really hard to meet modern web standards with Edge, even though the browser features a forked version of “Trident”(IE’s rendering engine) called Microsoft EdgeHTML. Google is also a founding member of W3C Web Performance Working group, so Chrome will always be up to date with the latest web standards. Chrome was also one of the first web browsers to support HTML5 and Google is still a key contributor to the web standard. The latest Google Chrome version comes with support for new web standards like WebP (new web image format). Then, we loaded the heavy USA Today website. We also tested the page rendering speed by loading Techcrunch. We loaded Beebom on both the browsers and noted the time. Verdict: Microsoft Edge was slightly quicker to load but we are pretty sure you won’t notice the difference. Real World Usage Comparison Start-up Time We have taken an average out of 3 scores from the Benchmark tests for better accuracy.ġ.Just so you should know, we cleared the cache after every test on both the browsers.We are carrying out these tests on a fresh install of Google Chrome (v. To cater to more people across the globe, we are using a modestly powered PC featuring a Core i3 processor and 4 GB RAM for our testing.
