We are, by now, accustomed to being dismissive about Microsoft's browsers, especially after years of mockery that the Internet Explorer garnered for operating at a glacial pace. Well, it so happens that Microsoft Edge and its Chromium-based architecture now fall in an entirely different league, especially after years of under-the-hood performance improvements, allowing Microsoft to now uncharacteristically claim a few well-deserved bragging rights. Microsoft appears increasingly confident of its Edge browser, and it's beginning to show up in its swagger on social media It all began with a par-for-the-course ribbing of Microsoft Edge on X.

We typically assume that Apple's own apps would almost always beat similar third-party ones on performance and efficiency on Apple's own platforms, especially given the time and resources that the company spends to optimize each facet of its ecosystem. Yet, a creative developer and a group product manager for the Microsoft Edge Web Platform, Kyle Pflug, has just demonstrated that it is possible to beat Apple on its home turf. A prototype Microsoft Edge browser, built using the Blink rendering engine, comprehensively outcompetes Safari on iOS Pflug penned a dedicated post on LinkedIn recently, disclosing that Microsoft's Edge web platform […]

It appears that the ongoing inflationary trend vis-à-vis memory chips, despite a modest reduction in spot DRAM prices recently, has reached demand destruction levels. After all, why else would MediaTek and Qualcomm slash their production of mobile chips by millions of units? MediaTek and Qualcomm are reportedly slashing the production of mobile chips geared primarily towards mid and low-end smartphones, as the ongoing memory chipflation starts impacting demand As we noted recently, the wider smartphone industry has been hit by a double whammy of sorts: the astronomical increase in memory chip prices over the past year, largely driven by the […]

In a world dictated by the typical economic order, older devices should become cheaper over time under the relentless march of technology-led obsolescence. Yet, in the bizarro world that we currently populate, older devices are experiencing progressive price hikes. We witnessed this phenomenon with Sony's price hikes for its older gaming consoles, and Samsung is now reportedly following suit with a planned jump in retail prices for its Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Flip 7, and Galaxy S25 Edge. Samsung is reportedly gearing up to announce a price hike for some of its Galaxy models, with the ongoing Iran war […]
