自从几年前在Windows 10中引入Edge以来， (Edge)Mozilla Firefox和Microsoft Edge都取得了长足的进步。Windows 10将Edge作为默认浏览器。我们之前介绍过哪种浏览器更适合Windows 10：Microsoft Edge或Mozilla Firefox。我们正在重新审视这篇文章，以便根据对Mozilla Firefox所做的更改来更新您。这篇特别的文章涉及Windows 10 v1809 Edge和Mozilla版本。62.
Microsoft Edge与Mozilla Firefox浏览器
Edge的基本功能在当时还是不错的。但它是一个非常基本的浏览器——我只会用于阅读。在过去的三年里，它发生了许多变化。然后Windows 10 v1809 版本为 Edge 添加了更多新功能。有了这些最新的改进，我们有必要再次将Edge与Mozilla Firefox进行比较，因为甚至Firefox也与(Firefox)Edge一起经历了许多变化。
视频和音频的边缘
它是可见的。Firefox比以往更快。实际上，Edge和Firefox都比以往更好，但在不同的领域。对于流媒体视频，我使用Edge，因为它允许 1080p 分辨率而无需扩展。对于某些网站和视频， Firefox(Firefox)不会超过 720p。我听说过在 Firefox 上强制 1080p Netflix( force 1080p Netflix on Firefox)的扩展。同样，Edge最适合SoundCloud等流媒体音乐。质量很好，即使在较慢的连接上也没有缓冲。
Firefox 现在也是新的
您知道Edge是从头开始创建的，而不是使用Internet Explorer的代码。好吧(Well)，Mozilla也深入研究了它的代码并提出了Firefox Quantum，它基于清新干净的白板（撰写本文时的最新版本是 62 版）。
简而言之，Edge和Firefox这两种浏览器现在都是围绕新代码构建的，以解决当前的互联网(Internet)安全问题，同时为用户提供良好的浏览体验。
根据 Mozilla 的说法，
It (Firefox Quantum) is by far the biggest update we’ve had since we launched Firefox 1.0 in 2004, it’s just flat out better in every way.
(Firefox)资源密集型网站的Firefox
当我一次访问许多网站时，我一直使用Firefox作为我的主要浏览器——这些网站既复杂又占用大量资源。Edge有时无法正确呈现这些网站。我不知道原因，但资源密集型网站似乎在Edge上失败了。我已经在我的电脑、平板电脑甚至我的安卓(Android)手机上测试过它。
阅读视图(Reading View)、记笔记和涂鸦的边缘
对于阅读，Microsoft Edge提供了一种无干扰的氛围——尤其是在黑暗模式下。它让我可以控制字体大小，这样我就可以使用易于眼睛看到的大小。它还允许我在网站页面上做笔记和涂鸦，我可以使用Edge直接与其他人分享。
(Tab Preview)Edge中的选项(Edge)卡预览和隐藏选项卡(Hide Tabs)选项
我希望Firefox具有折叠所有打开的选项卡以供以后使用的功能。有时我会打开更多选项卡，其中一些不会立即使用。在这种情况下，如果我使用的是Microsoft Edge ，我可以简单地将选项卡向左扔。我可以稍后在需要时扩展它们。Mozilla Firefox中缺少此功能。Edge中还有标签预览功能。虽然对我来说不是必需的，但对于打开标签并忘记哪个标签包含什么内容的人来说可能很重要。这是一个不错的功能，您应该尝试。
Firefox用于在线交易，而不是Edge
来到电子商务网站，我不使用Edge。有些事情告诉我Edge还没有准备好。或者可能是它的 Metro 界面阻止了我将其用于电子商务。我可以信任Firefox，因为它是开源的并且有安全代码。我不是说Edge不能在线完成交易，而是因为一些不为人知的原因，我觉得它感觉不舒服。
另一个原因可能是我知道我的Firefox浏览器使用的所有扩展。也就是说；如果我使用Firefox Quantum ，我可以控制安全和隐私。有许多可用于Firefox的扩展和插件。Edge也有扩展，但范围很小。这在Edge(Edge)上进行交易时给人一种不安全的感觉。它尚未建立与您的信用卡号和CVV以及诸如此类的东西分开所需的信任。
概括
根据我的个人经验，我会说将Edge用于：
- 流媒体视频
- 流式传输音频
- 阅读和做笔记
Firefox在处理方面表现更好
- 网上交易
- 基于浏览器的游戏（Edge，有时在赛车等游戏中感觉有点反应迟钝，从而破坏了您的体验）
仅对所有内容使用Microsoft Edge对你来说可能不是一个好的选择，即使Edge比其他浏览器具有轻量级和完全不同的外观的优势。
我没有对这些资源上的内存和CPU功能进行广泛的测试。(CPU)我只是在展示我作为最终用户在使用这些浏览器时的体验。让我们知道您的想法以及您对Microsoft Edge和Mozilla Firefox的体验。

Edge vs Firefox: Which is better for Windows 10?
Both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge have come a long way since Εdge was introduced with Windowѕ 10, a fеw years back. Windows 10 gives you Edge as the default browser. We had earlier covered which browser is better for Windows 10: Mіcrosoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox. We are revisitіng the article to update you based on the сhanges made to bоth Mozіlla Firefox. This particular article deals with Windows 10 v1809 Edge and Mozilla νer. 62.
Microsoft Edge vs Mozilla Firefox browser
The basic features of Edge were good back then. But it was a very basic browser – that I would use only for reading. It underwent many changes in the past three years. Then the Windows 10 v1809 version added several more new features to Edge. With these latest improvements, it becomes necessary that we compare Edge to Mozilla Firefox once more as even Firefox has gone through many changes along with Edge.
Edge for Video and Audio
It is visible. Firefox is faster than ever. Actually, both Edge and Firefox are better than ever but in different areas. For streaming video, I use Edge as it allows 1080p resolution without the need for extensions. Firefox won’t go above 720p for certain sites and videos. I’ve heard of extensions to force 1080p Netflix on Firefox. Same way, Edge is best for streaming music such as SoundCloud. The quality is good, and it streams without buffering even on slower connections.
Firefox too is new now
You know that Edge was created from scratch instead of using the code of Internet Explorer. Well, Mozilla too dug deep into its code and came up with Firefox Quantum, based out of fresh and clean whiteboard (latest version at the time of writing this being version 62).
In short, both browsers – Edge and Firefox – are now built around the new code to address current day Internet security issues all the while providing users with a good browsing experience.
According to Mozilla,
It (Firefox Quantum) is by far the biggest update we’ve had since we launched Firefox 1.0 in 2004, it’s just flat out better in every way.
Firefox for resource-intensive sites
I have been using Firefox as my main browser as I visit many sites at a time – sites that are complicated and heavy on resources. Edge sometimes fails to render these websites properly. I don’t know the reason, but resource intensive websites simply seem to fail on Edge. I have tested it on my computer, tablet, and even my Android phone.
Edge for Reading View, taking notes and doodling
For reading, Microsoft Edge provides a distraction-free atmosphere –, especially in the dark mode. It lets me control the font size so I can use a size that is easy on eyes. It also allows me to take Notes and doodle on the website pages that I can share directly with others using Edge.
Tab Preview and Hide Tabs option in Edge
I wish Firefox has the feature of collapsing all the open tabs for later use. Sometimes I open more tabs, and some of them are not to be used immediately. In such case, I can simply toss the tabs to the left if I am using Microsoft Edge. I can later expand them when required. This feature is missing in Mozilla Firefox. There is also tab preview feature in Edge. Though not necessary for me, it might be important for people who open tabs and forget which tab contains what content. It is a nice feature that you should try.
Firefox for online transactions, not Edge
Coming to e-commerce sites, I don’t use Edge for that. Something tells me Edge is not yet ready yet. Or it may be its metro interface that stops me from using it for e-commerce. I can trust Firefox as it is open source and has security codes at the place. I am not saying Edge cannot complete transactions online, but for some unknown reasons, I find that it feels uncomfortable.
Another reason could be that I know what all extensions are my Firefox browser using. It is to say; I can have safety and privacy controls under my control if I am using Firefox Quantum. There are many extensions and plugins available for Firefox. There are extensions for Edge too, but the range is quite small. That gives an insecure feeling while transacting on Edge. It has yet to build the trust required to part with your credit card number and CVV and things like that.
Summary
Based on my personal experience, I would say use Edge for:
- Streaming video
- Streaming audio
- Reading and making notes
Firefox comes with a better hand when it comes to
- Online transactions
- Browser-based games (Edge, feels a bit unresponsive at times with games like racing etc., thus spoiling your experience)
Using only Microsoft Edge for everything may not be a good option for you even though Edge has the edge over the other browsers being lightweight and a different look altogether.
I didn’t run extensive tests on memory and CPU functioning on these resources. I am just presenting what I experienced as the end user when using these browsers. Let us know what you think, your experience with Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox.
