I use Edge at $JOB (because we live in Windows land and Edge integrates better with Windows stuff) and Firefox at home. I also used Chrome in the past.

Whereas I agree Firefox used to be way better than IE when I first used it, I can't really perceive any notable difference on performance for those 3 browsers.

There are some minor diffs (edge has veritcal tabs and allows login in with your AD account), but that's it.



>edge has veritcal tabs and allows login in with your AD account

Firefox will let you do this, too, if you tell it to trust the host in about:config:

    network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris
    network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris
Just put all the hosts there in a comma-separated list.


That's ancient and perhaps best forgotten.

More important in this day and age is since Firefox 91 there is a checkbox in privacy and security to automagically SSO using the account on the Windows 10/11 Account Settings page that Edge uses.
