Microsoft's New Chromium Based Edge Browser Now Rolling Out Via Windows Update
Microsoft released the first preview of its overhauled chromium-based edge browser back in January, but users had to navigate to Microsoft's site to install the browser. The new browser will now automatically roll out to versions of Windows 10 from version 1803 onwards, this will mean up to a billion installs of the updated browser. The New Edge browser when installed via windows update completely replaces the previous Edge browser whereas the website install coexists with the existing Edge browser.

Now I have Edge and Chromium based Edge.
I would have preferred if it replaced the original Edge altogether.
android - opera
that is all.
Edge is the best, it works with all features present on hardware level in the chips - for example Radeon Image Sharpening.
While the others are blurry, Edge is very crisp and clear, and super responsive.
I honestly hope you're getting paid for that
Edge:
Chrome:

it's not CHROME that's blurry in the pcitures,it's THE PICTURE you're viewing in chrome.
and it's not even blurry,it's that the 1st one is way oversharpened.
can we stop talking about radeon or amd ?
in one thread you or ratit comment on ?
and how are you getting higher resolution via sharpening ?
The below is a screengrab from Firefox running over a GTX 1080. Text is 100% crisp as you can see. There are no sharpening artifacts, Contrast is accurate. Generated model images are pixel perfect.
Here's your fantastic sharpening pass
Hideous
This is my text enlarged, no sharpening: no edge artifacts, just interpolation and Windows TrueType (or whatever it is under 10) settings.
Here is an example of how sharpening causes loss of color information
Left is not sharpened. Note also how left has almost no aliasing, and the right clearly does, while missing tints of blue, and oversaturating the image.
Either stop making BS claims in topics where they absolutely do not belong, or just educate yourself.
I avoid it in games,and certainly avoid it in home use.get a high dpi screen cause sharpening isn't subsitute for more pixels.
a good AA technique actually smoothens the image not sharpens it,and dlss is actually recreating pixels through hi-res ground truth.sharpening is neither and is inferior to both,by a mile.it's the cheapest cheat a gpu can do.
The fact is that Edge is the best looking browser out there. Full stop.
Your Firefox and GTX 1080 look worse than mine Edge and Radeon Vega.
Full stop, indeed, just save whatever speck of credibility you have left after that comment. It ain't much, be careful before you lose that too. Soon we might question your vision. Early DLSS implementations suffered similar sharpening artifacts. I remember screenshots... This whole thing ain't new, at least to many.
Edge chromium genuinely is good, its a less bloated chrome with better 3D harwdware support (hence things like image sharpening working) that means less resources are required and performance is higher.
Like someone else posted above, i use it for my 2nd gmail account and actually quite like it. You can direct install plugins from the chrome web store, too.
I observe it on all screens, not just one particular.
Edge just works better than Chrome and it's not just the blurriness in Chrome, it is heavier and less responsive from my observations - be the Facebook, YouTube, Edge is faster.
That said, all these browsers look the same. You've definitely got something unique to you going on with your sharpness issue.
About that sharpening... that's really a you problem because Edge looks identical to FF here in terms of sharpness. There ARE differences though, absolutely, and interestingly, contrast seems different, and affects saturation too (FF left, Edge right). You can also observe a small difference in font (spacing or a different kind of bolding?):
Both browsers in this situation take about 8% GPU resources. Both open at 16%. One open down to 8%.
Maybe Chrome has some too.
now let's talk actual browsers.
