Google Chrome Challenges Microsoft Edge Autonomy In a New Video

 Bigg is not prepared to lose the autonomy challenge against its main competitor: Google Chrome Microsoft Edge challenge by focusing on improvements that occurred in the past year.

As can be seen from the video, Google tries to do the verse to Microsoft, which has published a video that compares the autonomy of its web browser, Edge, against that of its major competitors.

Google takes over the rules for the implementation of Microsoft's video. Two tablet Surface (instead of 4, ed), two different versions of the Chrome browser in comparison. Specifically to be taken into consideration are the version 46 and 53 of the Google browser.

Thanks to the last update to Chrome version 53 in the branch desktoppossiamo enjoy a revamped interface in Material Design. Also, just as can be seen from the video, battery life isimproved significantly compared to just a year ago.

E 'on the autonomy the land on which Google Chrome challenges Microsoft Edge, with tangible progress of the new versions of Chrome desktop

Compared to version 46 the Chrome browser in continuous playback of a video on Vimeo gains 2 hours and 12 minutes of battery life. In total, the Surface is able to play the video for 10 hours and 39 minutes : long enough to see the Matrix trilogy, all in one go!

Of course, the true comparison would be to compare Chrome against Edge, but confrontation is a land full of pitfalls. Chrome, oddly enough, it would be a disadvantage in a direct challenge right on the higher of the Google services, Youtube.

The absence of hardware decoding for movies VP9 (standard YouTube upload codec, ed) on Chrome penalize much the Google browser. In fact, the video decoding is done all in software , using the CPU heavily. Microsoft Edge instead supports hardware decoding (provided you have a graphics card that supports, ed), getting much better results.

It is no coincidence that the service on which you have taken the test is precisely Vimeo , which uses the H264 encoding. Probably with these assumptions the challenge would be really fair and would give us a real indicator of the goodness of both browsers.

Google Chrome challenges Microsoft Edge but for now neither of the check from the winner, at least this time. Appointment to the next comparison, the eternal struggle between Google and Microsoft.
