Sometimes it takes little bit times to load but its acceptable. As a primary browser, it needs to improve extension store. I found it interesting for some tools like taking screenshot, natural reading mode. Pros Very fast and simple interface , helps me to use it with ease. Privacy and password saving option is very updated.In tab section, I can easily make tab group according to topic categories, which save my time to find relatable tabs.Immerse reader mode i found interesting , voice used in this section is more natural than others.Taking full page screen shot by only scrolling without help of external tools is very useful for me. Cons Main limitation I found it has less extension than other web browsers. loading time takes some time , it performs letter okey. Switched from [Safari](https://www.capterra.com/p/229123/Safari/) For windows user its built-in browser, it improved than few years back. Review Source TOD Thierno Ousmane D.

August 18, 2022 5.0 This is a search engine that has improved over the last decades (don't forget that Microsoft Edge is the former Internet explorer upgraded, and fully transformed). It is following the dynamic of Microsoft windows; which is a good thing. I fully recommend this search engine, even though we still have some features to improve. Pros We must like: The fluidity, the boosted performances, and the pdf feature integrated into the search engine. Cons Microsoft could fully integrate into its system an Adblocker and a Bookmark, leaving adding external extensions optional. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) I first tried Microsoft edge for its pdf features, before noticing that the whole Internet explorer just changed. I instantly switched from Adobe reader to get back to this search engine that gives me both pdf and browsing capabilities. Review Source Ananthu Krishnan S.

April 7, 2023 4.0 Pros AI integrated chat like search option , less hardware resource consumption. Cons No adblockers for youtube . little complex UI. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Chrome was consuming more hardware resource and causing system hang. Review Source Kevin O. Small Business Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My First Choice When I Need a Different Browser" June 29, 2022 5.0 Now that it has changed so much and totally become their brand only, it is great! I use it when Google is crashing, but then it can crash too, like all browsers. The ability to sync everything I have in Google or Chrome is key for not only my personal use but business also! I will always use Microsoft edge as my backup browser but I also sometimes use only that for long periods of time, and do enjoy it! I am an expert at any browser use and this is, in fact, a great one. Pros They sure have changed. I could not stand it for the longest time. But they continue to improve and I love the sidebar where you can see so much at a glance. I think all browsers should offer that. Most do, but I think they offer a bit too much there and Edge's is perfect. Cons I think it is watching me in different ways than Google. Meaning, I sense there are more things they want me to do because they know what I do. Privacy is key and though they are known for great safety, I sometimes feel it is lax. Google know what you do and I am okay with that and all I note is perhaps ads related to my searches and interests but Edge seems to throw more at you and that is mainly why they are my second choice browser. I do love Microsoft Edge and Microsoft but it is slower, seems more invasive, and loaded but I will always use it. Review Source Yassine O. CEO Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This browser has a bright future" November 6, 2022 5.0 Good user interface with less RAM consumption and a lot of unique features and customization Pros I used Microsoft Edge for almost year in a Mac Os Macbook pro, i like it for the first 6 month, very fast, eat less Ram and look great, they put a lot of effort into making Microsoft Edge run smoothly, the interface looks great and easy to use, also you have the option to add bookmarks to collections, i use it often and i like it. Cons After 6 months of use, it started to get slow and buggy. It also had some security problems with some websites. I tried to play with the security settings, but still the same problems occurred. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Mainly because of Ram Consumption Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Edge is underrated and deserves all the appreciation" April 29, 2024 5.0 Pros I first used microsoft edge about 3 years ago when it replaced the old internet explorer which is infamous for having some serious problems. I was always a Chrome user and out of the blue, I decided to give it a try to Microsoft Edge. To my surprise, it genuinely outperformed Chrome in every single way using less resources and battery overall. That still holds true to this day. I use my laptop quite often to get my work done and I don't always have power outlet near my place so it is very crucial to use a browser that isn't power hungry. Chrome in comparison used way more power and ram astronomically high resulting in poor battery life. I also encountered a variety of bugs and errors on Chrome which is frustrating. Features on Edge are useful and unique and I regularly use it. I would recommend everyone to use Edge as it is really underrated. Cons Frankly, I don't have any bad experience with this lovely browser. Maybe, there were a handful of instances but I didn't really notice them. I would say the browser is speedy and don't get laggy. Review Source JL Jonathan L. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "J.L. Microsoft Edge Review" May 23, 2023 4.0 Microsoft Edge is one of my best search engines and browsers alongside others like Google Chrome and Tor but what makes it stand out from the rest is that I am able to integrate my other Microsoft applications like Word to further improve my liking for the software. With great features being implemented like partnering with the AI-based platform, ChatGPT, it only shows me that Microsoft Edge is here to stay! Pros Since Microsoft Edge is built on the Chromium engine software, it is able to provide me with lightning speed performance. Cons When operating Microsoft Edge with a lot of tabs open, my device's RAM increases very significantly as compared to other browsers like Tor and Google Chrome. Review Source MC Marian C. IT Technician Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft Edge" June 15, 2024 5.0 Microsoft Edge is the best alternative for a browser that does not consume resources when used so the laptop battery will last longer. Pros Edge is well optimized and fast browser. Really like it because it can be installed on all platform and cross device synchronization works very good. Cons It does not feel as fast as Chrome, but is faster than all other browsers.

Pros I like how I can use this for important daily activities. Its useful for me to access our daily goods in sheet (smartsheet) Cons It's quite slow to load at the beginning as the home page is full of ads Review Source AH Abdul H.

Pros Its All Features are very good but the most I like is It won't take much ram to upload pages.other thing is it can turn any website into an app so its gets very easy and fast to reach that particular site.one more nice thing it has that is collection box .if someone research about something and he still wants to continue it after some time so he can put all his researched stuff in collection box and save.later on he can continue from the point where he left.other very fantastic feature this browser has that "IMMERSIVE READER".when we read something on Internet some annoying adds comes and disturbs us.but if we on this immersive reader feature every add and that kind of stuff gets flushed and now you can read calmly. Cons nothing exactly but the Only thing which is bad sometimes it gets off automatically in few computers Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge As I mentioned Before Edge is Faster and also it has many nice features.also we hope edge doesn't sells our personnel data to others because if somebody is using Edge in Private mode then his browsing data is safe because when quits Edge deletes all browsing history automatically.

La gestione delle schede è molto curata e permette più navigazioni contemporaneamente senza impattare eccessivamente sulla CPU. Cons La gestione dei profili solo concettualmente è una buona idea in quanto nella pratica è complicata e per nulla user-friendly Review Source Sefayet U.

August 8, 2021 4.0 previously Microsoft Edge was named as Microsoft explorer, every time I used that I have pain in my head. If i have to compare now that with Microsoft Edge, they came long way with success, I love the new EDGE download system, with bookmarking option, it definitely up to the standard now. Through they need to work on the extension area, to compete with other successful browser. Pros For easy, Day to day browsing Microsoft edge is the best for now. With good response time it could be the no 1 for now. Download manager is quite good for me. They are continuously adding more option to us to feel much better, such as Microsoft Edge now can use as PDF reader. it also consume low RAM , as a result my pc is faster. Cons Loading time still have some lacking's, need to be more fast. beside they need to work on the extension area. new websites launch extensions to give us good user experiance, they need to take this step to provide friendly environment to us.

It is still not as powerful in searching as Chrome but I use it every day and it works fine. Pros The new Edge looks good, it has more features than Google Chrome in collecting and managing different tabs and you can move the bar in horizontal or vertical and visually is attractive Cons The search bar per default, Microsoft Bing is not very good and still not as powerful as Chrome-. Review Source MK Maaz K. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Microsoft Edge" December 3, 2021 5.0 Microsoft Edge is very excellent replacement of Internet Explorer launched by Microsoft. Due to its good speed, and easy integration of other softwares, I do not feel the need of installing a separate web browser to my windows. Pros Microsoft Edge is a successful attempt by Microsoft Inc to replace its always complained about Internet Explorer with something worthy of its opponents like chrome, firefox etc. It has a sleak and intuitive design and a minimal interface which leaves enough screen space to users for browsing content. The home screen interface is lso customizable and you can select the screen of your type from options. It loads content faster due to its improved algorithms and low memory requirements. The private browsing mode is also very effective in evading cookies. Also it provies improved privacy due to its superb tracking prevention mechanism. Microsoft has worked a lot to integrate good playback tools in Edge. It also supports alot of third party software loke pdf reader, etc and work flawlessly with them. Along with its own plug-ins, it also support extensions offered in Chrome extensions store. Though its default search engine is bing but you can change it to Google easily. Cons Microsoft Edge has high system requirements, which means that it won't work on low end devices, but other than that I haven't encountered any hurdles while using it till now. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Because Edge is giving the same performance to say the least, so I find it better to go with windows own browser than a third party software.

" March 6, 2023 5.0 Its a gem of a software. Like Power of FF , Cr, Op, all rolled in one. This is called the true innovation. Congratulations Microsoft for deploying such a class easy to use , non crashing and quick responsive browser. Pros This time Microsoft has launched the EDGE ending the legacy of Internet Explorer which has ruled the indusrty from many years from Windows 3.1 to now. . . Edge is very modernly designed pakage to offer the needs on tiuch and key padd enabled devices. Cons I love this new innovation and congratulate to developers.

" December 14, 2023 4.0 Great, I would recommend this for anyone. Business or personal. Pros Microsoft Edge is honestly a very good browser. So much so that I left Google and brave to use it full time. The microsoft rewards program Insentives are amazing as well just for using edge and searching via their search engine every day. (and various other tasks to earn). Over all I don't think I could go back to any other browser. It has built in ad block, tracking prevention, and soon you can add more extensions (on android mobile, desktop already has extensions). The speed is great, I haven't had any problems at all. Highly recommend. Oh and did I mention the Copilot AI? It's built in the browser and can answer questions from your web page or just random things, generate images, and much more. Cons Lack of current extensions for the mobile app but that will no longer be an issue soon. Switched from [Brave](https://www.capterra.com/p/229030/Brave/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) The rewards program but I stayed because of the AI and I honestly really like the browser as a whole Review Source Luke H.

It's fast, fun to use and feature rich" October 13, 2022 5.0 Amazing experience with Edge, I have tried all major browsers and this one comes out on top. It's also really good on mobile and has replaced Safari! Pros I love how fast Edge is to use. It's smooth, lightning fast and looks incredible. It also has a beautiful collections feature where you can keep bookmarked websites into folders. it makes bookmarks so much better and you actually go back to them due to the ease of finding what you're looking for. Cons The snippinng tool can be frusrating, it should be a good feature but let down by not being able to capture your screen (from what you see). There is only an option to manually capture which can be annoying to use or screenshot the entire page which isn't ideal. Also it doesn't directly let you save, only copy or markup which is a strange decision not to add a 'save' button to download.

November 26, 2022 4.0 The fact that Edge comes preinstalled on any windows operating system the UI make-over would be a nice addition and would definitely create traction. Borrow a few pages from Vivaldi user interface and theme and see huge jump in user base. Pros The inclusion of side bar is the one reason I used Edge the other is the inclusion of auto translate of web pages. Cons The user interface is a turnoff and feels outdated for such a powerful browser. Alternatives considered [Brave](https://www.capterra.com/p/229030/Brave/) Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge It comes preinstalled on my primary OS. Switched from [Firefox](https://www.capterra.com/p/228987/Firefox/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Feels outdated and boring for a modern user interface.

Io lo preferisco di gran lunga a Google Chrome e Mozilla Firefox, i quali, ultimamente, stava creando problemi di crash improvvisi. Pros Microsoft Edge, a differenza del proprio predecessore (Internet explorer), è rapido e intuitivo. Anche la nuova interfaccia grafica è gradevole. Cons L'unico aspetto che avrei migliorato riguarda la sezione "download", non molto semplice e di facile accesso.

It really attracts me to try Microsoft Edge and after several weeks of trying, I decided to use Microsoft Edge as my primary browser. Lot of features and AI make Microsoft Edge is different from the competitor. Cons One thing that Microsoft Edge still lacks is compatibility, maybe because it's just became popular this year and not many people using it before the AI feature was released.
