People love to rag on Google Chrome for being a bloated browser that eats up your computer’s resources. Well, Microsoft Edge has become even worse. It started out with good intentions, but Microsoft can’t help itself.<\/p>\n
I really wanted to like Microsoft Edge. I switched to using it on my desktop PC and my Android phone\u2014even recommending it to others. However, as time has gone on, that’s been harder to justify. The dream of a Chrome-like browser without all of Google’s bloat seems dead.<\/p>\n
RELATED:<\/strong> Microsoft, You’re Making It Hard to Recommend Edge<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Microsoft Edge didn’t start bloated. In fact, that was one of the reasons why I decided to give it a try. I thought it could be a slimmed-down version of Chrome with many of the same features, but just less<\/em>.<\/p>\n For a while, it seemed that was the case, but it didn’t take long for the feature creep to start happening. \u201cFeature creep\u201d is when new features are constantly being added to a product, to the detriment of that product. It’s sadly a common thing in modern browsers, apps, and other types of software.<\/p>\n Instagram is one of the most well-known examples of feature creep. It used to be a very simple app all about posting photos. Just photos. Now it’s a bloated amalgamation of the old Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and Facebook.<\/p>\n The strange thing about Edge’s feature creep is it hasn’t really been about stealing features from other browsers. Microsoft has been adding a lot of just plain unnecessary things.<\/p>\nFeature Creep<\/h2>\n
