- **Microsoft Edge is a highly fast browser,** according to several tests, even faster than Chrome. It starts in less than 2 seconds, loads web pages quickly, and uses few system resources. Edge browser has also been receiving new features and upgrades as a result of regular Windows updates.

- **Edge** also feels faster than Chrome in my tests and uses 14 percent less RAM on average. It also includes some intriguing capabilities, such as the ability to open a website as if it were an app
- **Edge** might work faster under some circumstances if your computer is slow. It can run faster because it is integrated into Windows.
