NavigationĪesthetics aside, the seams really start to show when we put both browsers through their paces. It works wonders whenever you want to perform a query, and makes a real difference on larger iPhone screens. However, Chrome takes the cake with its conveniently located Search icon. Navigation controls and access to menu items (New Tab, New Incognito Tab, Settings, etc.) rest at the bottom of the screen for convenient access. That aside, both browsers can be easily used single-handed. That does feel like extra work, and I like Chrome’s approach better. Edge, on the other hand, lets you add your shortcuts to new tabs. All new tabs feature easy shortcuts to bookmarks, the reading list, and recent tabs, not to mention the automatically updated ‘suggested sites’ that can prove to be quite useful. They are terrific to look at, but it’s entirely up to personal preference as to what browser would suit you the best - Chrome with its sleek and rounded curves, and Edge with it’s precise and fine edges (pardon the pun). User Interfaceīoth Microsoft and Google have done an excellent job with the user interfaces on both browsers.

Having used both browsers extensively on iOS over the past few months, let me share how they stack against each other.

Regardless, they do contrast with each other when it comes to usability in general.

If you are concerned about performance, then you won’t find differences between Edge and Chrome on iOS since both browsers rely on the same code that powers Safari.
