Microsoft Edge Summary
Microsoft Edge is a web browser that was released on Xbox and Playstation in 2015. It was then released in 2017 for both Android and iOS. The version for macOS came in 2019 and the Linux version was available in 2020. In addition to being connected to Cortona, you can also find extensions from the Microsoft Store that can be used while browsing. While it's newer than other web browsers, there has been an increasing number of people using it.
The great thing is that Microsoft Edge is completely free and users can browse the internet without having an account. The thing to keep in mind is those without accounts won't be able to access some of the features that those with accounts can. The web browser is integrated with Chrome, which gives you access to even more features.
Key Functions
Those users that don't want to create an account will have access to many great features. To begin with, you can browse and check out pretty much any website you want. In addition, you can add websites to your bookmarks and look at any of your past browsing history. If you don't want your history to save, you can open a private window that lets you browse without recording what you click on or look at. You can also customize multiple setting options, including parental controls, brightness levels, and what you want displayed on your toolbar.
In addition to all of the features listed above, there are a few extras that those with an account can enjoy. One of the features that users love the most is that they can choose to have their passwords saved, which makes logging in a breeze. They can also import settings from their account and use extensions from the Microsoft Store. You can also create Collections that allow you to organize your important or saved data.
Review/Conclusion
With all things considered, Microsoft Edge is a high-performing web browser that has many of the same features found on other industry leading browsers. You can bookmark your favorite webpages, customize your profile or experience settings, and save your passwords for easy access to your accounts. It's easy to use and the optional extensions can help make the entire experience more enjoyable and beneficial. While you should expect some hiccups or issues to happen, you can use this application for a targeted and quick browsing experience.
