Google Chrome is constantly creating temp. files that eventually take 40GB+ of one of my drives until it is completely full. Every few months I needed to manually remove a ton of files. It drove me back to Edge, which I thought would never happen.


I do not believe I'm typing this, but I've recently made a switch from Firefox to Microsoft Edge as my primary browser on Mac OS X.

Edge is very similar to Chrome in performance and features while seemingly being slightly better on memory. It also doesn't have the Google's creepiness, as Microsoft appears to be the modern day underdog.

It also supports chromecast, a feature I missed the most in Firefox.

Overall it's a surprisingly competent browser.


Have you tried Firefox?
