Finding Edge better than Firefox

I have been using firfox since windows xp and I have just switched to edge, reason being after you have scrolled a few pages on facebook in firefox it starts slowing down and clicking a link to refresh the page gets slower on firefox, not experiencing this on edge. Also the forums seem snappier on a second tab in edge than firefox.

Also I use a high contrast theme in windows which firefox doesn't display correctly lots of icons missing eg on face book but all present and correct on edge, so I am switching to edge now that it has the adblock plus extension.

Anyone else seeing firefox lagging?

I have not used Firefox on Windows for a long time, i thought it went downhill years ago, i use chrome,well a chrome clone. Facebook is a little on the slow side anyway for some reason, forums seems slow to start up anyway and have been for months, fines once they are loaded in.

I used Edge for a couple of days when i was using Windows 10, but i just do nto like it,k lack of extensions I use and the UI itself just put me off.

I'd vote for Chrome too. It's my browser of choice on all OSs. Compared to other browsers it is fast and lean.

Only thing with chrome is it seems to send back data to google although everything does these days I spose.

In reply to a post by Banger:

No it don't, Chrome only sens data if you use their search engine, you can also use chrome clones,

Where do the Chrome clones send it ...???

If it's going anywhere, google is probably the safest.

Nowhere.

Ive just discovered you can change Edges default search from bing to google in settings, now that's handy as bing isn't very good.

Your evidence for that is what and where?

I'm not getting into a debate here. I'm sure that any intelligent person can research these alternative browsers if they wish to.
