*[[Microsoft Edge]] - better on power usage than Chrome, and much more secure (users get less malware), although it uses Google's Blink engine. Microsoft tracks users (unlike DuckDuckGo and Mojeek), but doesn’t sell user data like Google and Facebook.

*[[Microsoft Edge]] - better on power usage than Chrome, and much more secure (users get less malware), although it uses Google's Blink engine. Doesn’t have all the privacy issues of Chrome. Windows 10 has more privacy issues than earlier versions of Windows though. <ref>http://lifehacker.com/what-windows-10s-privacy-nightmare-settings-actually-1722267229</ref><ref>http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2015/07/29/wind-nos</ref><ref>https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/</ref> Internet Explorer was more feature-rich and seems to have done some things better, besides not having as many privacy issues, but unfortunately many websites today don’t support Internet Explorer anymore. At least Edge is much more secure than Chrome and better on battery usage though.
