The Google Chrome team has sent a congratulatory cake to the Microsoft Edge team on the launch of Windows 10 and shipping Microsoft Edge with it. It was a nice gesture from the rival browsers team.
It is well known about the Internet Explorer team which has been sending such congratulatory Cakes, messages to rival browsers team like Mozilla.
Now its good to see Google Chrome team sending some love to Microsoft Edge team. Today, the official twitter account of Microsoft web platform team on Microsoft Edge tweeted a pic of the congratulatory cake sent by the Google Chrome team. Here is the team with the congratulatory Chrome cake.
The tweet said: Thanks to @googlechrome @ChromiumDev for helping us celebrate shipping Microsoft Edge with this nice cake!
Another pic from Joaquin Bonet, Software Engineer at Microsoft Edge Platform team tweeted a close up of the cake thanking the Chrome team for the same. Thanks to the @googlechrome team for sending us a cake
For more than a decade, the default web browser in Windows has been the Internet Explorer. And over the time, Microsoft’s famous Internet Explorer started loosing its market share as it became bloated, using the same old code. Users started to switch to other browsers as Google Chrome. Microsoft then scrapped everything of Internet Explorer and started from scratch, from grounds up and built a fast, modern web browser that was shipped with Windows 10. Codenamed Project Spartan, Microsoft Edge comes with Windows 10. It has got a lighter design, very fast and has many unique features such as Cortana built into it. With its clean, lean design it has already being liked by users.
The Edge team has optimized its performance to make it blazingly fast and beating Chrome and Safari on their own JavaScript benchmarks
- On WebKit Sunspider, Edge is 112% faster than Chrome
- On Google Octane, Edge is 11% faster than Chrome
- On Apple JetStream, Edge is 37% faster than Chrome
It will be interesting to see how the fresh browser competition develops as users have started complaining more about Chrome. With Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, hoping to see Microsoft team keeps on improving and forcing its rivals to come up with more improvements.
nice, the world is so big for everyone to share… hope this transcends into other aspects of life…
It’s just shows the aggressive wars among the browsers mostly are between users not developers.
I like this friendly way.
It has a huge drawback though, they end up getting large eating all that cake constantly 😉
But a really nice tradition among rivals.
I won’t use it until there’s an ad blocker. Who cares if it runs some synthetic benchmarks a little faster (at least until the next Chrome release) if the web is unusable because you can’t block the pop-ups, pop-unders, skyscraper banners, and malware with Adblock?
The cake should have said “Go eat this cake and let the grown ups take care of writing web browsers.”.
I cannot get google chrome to function after my win10 upgrade. This for me is a massive blow as I do not like Edge, even after several days of perseverance with the damn thing. I miss the customisation that chrome allowed. Does anyone know how to get Chrome back up and running?
I am able to get Chrome working on my Windows 10 with no issues. In fact I have set IE as default too. What problems are you facing?
A browser will open but it will not load anything. I’ve uninstalled the old chrome and downloaded a new one and that didn’t work either. I keep getting a kill unresponsive pages option after several minutes of nothing happening.
Try the ‘Reset browser’ feature of Chrome.
I can’t get into the chrome settings. Chrome will not load a single thing. I need the settings menu to load in order for me to use the reset browser option. :-S
Crisis over! I have fixed it now. Thanks for your suggestions.
Nice that issue is resolved…I don’t use Chrome.I don’t have it on my system.
