Put another way Betamax was better than VHS, but with less content and options that didn't matter.
Though I didn't care, the app gap was a serious issue, the major and most popular apps that people used and wanted were absent in the beginning, legit apps, Uber, Lyft, Snapchat, Instagram, Pokémon Go, Sonos. I love WP, still do, but the argument it failed because they didn't market it is over simplistic. And that could be the foot in the door that Microsoft really needs.īut what do you think? Vote in our poll, check out the results, and then drop us a comment with specifics. This won't happen overnight, of course, but if this positive press continues, word will spread that Edge is at least worth a try. I am genuinely curious what people think about the outlook of the modern "browser wars." Can Microsoft really take back the crown from Google? I think it can, at least when it comes to desktop browser market share. Chrome Can Microsoft's new Edge browser beat Chrome? That could be done in big ways, like bundling it as the default browser, and in smaller ways that users might not necessarily even realize, like having the browser only communicate with Microsoft services and not Google. The other advantage is that since Microsoft owns Windows 10, arguably the most popular desktop platform around, Microsoft can tie the new Edge into the OS in many more ways. I think it got popular because people were told it's the best, and not because they prefer Google over Microsoft. Brand loyalty exists, but I don't think brand loyalty is what got Chrome popular. However, the new Edge is already proving itself to be a real contender, because it really is just like Chrome, but if Microsoft had made it instead of Google.
Chrome is the dominant browser, and it likely will be for years. Of course, it's still early days, so it's not a definitive "win" for Edge just yet. I've seen plenty of tweets online from people saying that they've switched from Chrome or even outright uninstalled it to use the pre-release version of Edge as their primary browser. Today, now that Microsoft has shipped preview builds publicly, a lot more people are interested, and these initial previews are nothing to scoff at. I even wrote a piece suggesting that this version of Edge might finally compete with Chrome.
When the new Edge browser leaked a couple of weeks ago, a few people tried it out, but otherwise, no one outside of the Microsoft sphere really cared.
