Chrome has hundreds of extensions that make browsing really simple. The other thing that works heavily in Chrome’s favour is extensions. It’s a neatly designed browser as well with almost everything Google-related a click or two away. Chrome makes it simple to do Google Search, signing into Chrome across devices to have access to tabs and search history - all this is really simple. User interface and ease of use If you are in the Google ecosystem - and you all in probability are - then Chrome gives the best ease of use. Edge fares even better, running as low as 3 to 5% CPU usage. While Chrome can account for more than 50% of CPU usage, Safari can run as low as 5 to 10%. Safari is anywhere between 5-10% whereas Edge can account for just 3-5% of CPU usage. Chrome can at times account for close to 50% of CPU usage. This gives the other two browsers an edge (no pun intended) over Chrome. Chrome needs to be downloaded on almost every laptop.

They are optimised to work as any other software on the laptop. Which is the more efficient browser? Since both Edge and Safari come as default browsers on Windows laptops and MacBooks respectively, they work more like native apps. This is a rough measure to see how fast a browser is but does give an indication. We did the tests on a 13-inch MacBook Pro (2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor). Now do keep in mind that all benchmark tests need to be taken with a pinch of salt and also depend on the kind of laptop you are using. Not too surprisingly, Chrome scored the highest with a score of 528. We conducted a test on Safari, Chrome as well as Edge.

The highest possible score on the test is 555. A test called HTML5 can check how fast your browser is. Which is the ‘fastest’ browser out of the three? The first and foremost thing one needs in a good browser is speed. However, here we will talk about Safari, Chrome and Edge and look at their strengths and weaknesses. Not to forget Mozilla Firefox and even Opera. Despite its popularity, one really can’t call Chrome the best browser as competitors like Apple’s Safari and Microsoft’s Edge bring in their own strong points. NEW DELHI: Google is the most dominant player in the browser space as Chrome continues to be the most popular browser in the world.
