Numbers put Microsoft in a bad light when announcing Edge is faster than Chrome and Firefox
Table of contents:
Microsoft continues to work to bring its browser, Microsoft Edge, to as many users as possible. Despite coming loaded with Windows 10, Edge is so far not competing with Firefox or Chrome For now, all Microsoft's efforts have been in vain.
And it will not be due to constant updates From Redmond they also want to emphasize the good work of their product and nothing better than pulling numbers to boast of some figures that place him at the head in speed.That's at least what the latest test they just submitted him to dictates.
You have to look at the tests in detail
Some tests with which they affirm that Edge is the most interesting alternative if what we are looking for is speed of execution in the browser. Specifically, and after the test, they announce that it is 16% faster than Firefox and 22% faster than Google Chrome But all that glitters is not gold .
The figures look good but they are not entirely correct. And it is that to reach such conclusions they have compared the most recent version of Edge with old versions, both Chrome and Firefox. Specifically, version 65 and 59, respectively, and it draws attention, since the last version of Chrome released is 68 while Firefox is at number 61.
And those figures do not correspond to the experience that Windows 10 users have when using EdgeThis is what they have shown at Tekrevue.com, when comparing the three browsers in the same version (the most current ones). And they've done it on both high-end and mid-range PCs.
And here the figures are totally different With these wickers in hand, Edge becomes 35% slower than Chrome and Opera, and 22% slower than Firefox on high-end computers, while on mid-range PCs, Edge is almost 40% slower than Chrome and Opera and 22% slower against Firefox.
Therefore, Microsoft's tests do nothing but invite us to another war of figures to demonstrate which is the king of browsers on the market. The problem is that it seems that this time Microsoft has not played the game as intended.
