99% of the time I don't miss chrome. Google brand has faded in my mind.

TBH chrome still has an edge (slightly slicker, slightly leaner). But it's not worth it.

MS Edge now has an edge over Chrome too - it’s even leaner, lighter and faster.

If they would just release it for Linux already I’d be using it everywhere.

Yeah, new Edgium is just as slick as Chrome was when it started. I'm now using only Edgium exclusively; Super fast; No lagging anywhere. Super smooth scrolling etc; I hope it stays like that;

i feel a bit guilty using windows and edge these days. like i'm betraying my principles. but it's just so easy and i have to prioritize stress to what matters.

You may like Iridium - it’s chromium with all the google stuff removed.

Isn't chromium itself chrome with all the google stuff removed?

I consider Firefox to be slightly slicker and leaner so it's now probably well into subjective territory.

Maybe it's a question of laptop, because on my side it's pretty obvious how everything is just 15% quicker UI wise. Not that it's critical.

FWIW, among other computers, I use it on a 2012 T530 ThinkPad.
