I lover Chrome, and I'm sticking with it. I have it on all my computers (Mac and Windows) and other devices. Bookmarks, contacts, and calendars sync immediately on all devices, and there are lots of handy extensions. I can't see myself using anything else.

I still prefer Chrome. I use Dashlane for passwords. Dashlane doesn't have an Edge extension yet. There are a few other minor issues with Edge.

I use Chrome on all my devices, I find it to be very stable. I feel that chrome runs faster than firefox or explorer ect. I would not hesitate to use it, try it if you don't like it you can always go back.

Found Edge to be unstable. Chrome works great for me and always has..

Edge is probably the most stable and updated browser on the market. I have had Chrome go flakey on me more than once and finally gave up on it. I've been using edge since it's first update and baring a few nuances like not being able to use add-ons at the beginning I find it to be very good. You will need a little time to get use to it but it's great.

Ditto what Jerry said. I have been using Chrome a long time. Would not use a different browser.

And I had Edge go flaky several times for me. Chrome has always worked better and better ad control as well.

Over the years I've at least tried a number of browsers and search engines. I have not really gotten into even trying Edge. I did a lot of forceful tweaking to Windows 10 to make it more "7" like. I normally use Google with Firefox, and if I'm not happy with a search result I'll try Google with Chrome or even Google with Internet Explorer. The results can differ slightly. I never got into Yahoo either. Yes, my system has Edge on it but I choose to ignore it most of the time. I more often use Chrome on my wife's PC as her's is slightly older and came with Windows 7 and was upgraded to Windows 10. So hers has Chrome as a "primary" link and choice on her desktop. Mine does not (yes, I could certainly create a link and icon). So now your comment(s) raise a question to me. I'm I missing anything from Chrome (vs Mozilla Firefox)?

I have Chrome on a LapTop and IE on a desktop. They are set up to work pretty much the same. The only browser I really dislike is Edge. It seems that even Microsoft is pushing IE over Edge. On my computer with Chrome I occasionally get notifications from MS stating that IE is safer. They never mention Edge.

I'm using Firefox, I do have Chrome as a back up, use it once in a while, I don't trust Microsoft browsers, got too many bugs in the past. Bob.

I was using Chrome browser for a year or two prior to buying a Chromebook (which comes installed with that browser and is the only one you can use). If I hadn't been super-happy with the browser already, I never would have considered the snappy Chromebook for all my online viewing pleasure

No complaints here!

I've been using Chrome for many years and I wouldn't consider using anything else. I am comfortable with it. It has all the features I want to use and it never give me problems.

I started out with Netscape in 94. I switched to IE around 2000 when Netscape became unusable. In 2002, I went to Firefox. When Chrome came out I used both Firefox and Chrome. Some things were better accomplished in one than the other. I. Somewhere along the line I used Opera for about a year but would switch to Chrome or Firefox for some things. Now I primarily use Chrome but I have Opera and Firefox installed as well as Edge, of course. I switch between the three to get around the limit some newspapers have on the number of articles you can read in a month.

I have not used Internet Explorer since 2002, it's an insecure mess. All of the others are at least somewhat sandboxed. Chrome uses too much system resources. Google needs to address that. Opera is the easiest on system resources but has other issues. Edge may be easier on system resources than Opera, but I'm not sure. I believe Edge is close to being the most secure.

I almost forgot I also use Tor, for when I'm fooling around on the dark web.
