Microsoft
Free Chromium-based web browser
Microsoft Edge is a free internet browser on Windows 10 and 11 designed to be faster and safer than its predecessors. It features built-in learning tools like the digital ruler, e-book reader, note-taker, Cortana integration, new tab organization, reading view, tab preview feature, PDF viewing, and advanced security features.
Microsoft based Edge on Google's Chromium framework, the same software that powers most of the world's browsers, including Google Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi. Overall, Microsoft Edge is a sleek, fast, and fluid browser—whether you're browsing the web or reading PDFs.
Is Microsoft Edge a good choice?
The browser is a mix of Internet Explorer 11's design and Google Chrome's speed and features. The user interface takes elements from Internet explorer but is much more minimalist to improve usability. Edge sports a dark theme instead of IE11, which was infamous for its white UI that you could not change. Furthermore, Edge is Chromium-based, meaning you can sink it with other Chromium browsers.
