Look, there’s a massive difference here, like comparing a classic Volkswagen Golf II to a modern Volkswagen Golf VII 😁. I’ve been using Windows XP forever, and now that I finally have my first new machine, I'm hitting my first real snag.

On my old setup running Windows XP, I use Google Chrome. It works perfectly for me and I know my way around it. On this new Windows 10 computer, I currently have Mozilla installed along with the standard Microsoft Edge. Which one should I actually be using? Should I just go ahead and install Google Chrome again?
All my emails are tied to my Google account, and all my bookmarks are sitting right there in Chrome.
What's the best way to move those bookmarks over to a different browser?

Just a heads-up, I’m definitely not a tech expert, so please keep the answers and instructions simple enough for someone like me. πŸ•Ί

Thanks!

It’s actually very simple. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96816?hl=en
You can import them the exact same way.

Go ahead and install Chrome.

Alright, first question on the tableβ€”out of those three, which browser is actually the best to use?

Firefox, honestlyβ€”because Chrome will just absolutely devour your RAM if you let it.

And regardless of which one you end up choosing, do yourself a massive favor and install some kind of adblocker extension.

Personally, I’m all about Google Chromeβ€”it’s easily the fastest browser out there. Just make sure you install uBlock along with it, thank God.

Honestly, all three follow modern web standards pretty closely, so it really just comes down to which one you personally prefer and which one makes you happy.
