### "edge review"

June 24, 2025

4.0

Other thing I would like to add, about what I feel that can be improved is the way the browser configuration is set up or shown. I think every single one browser nowadays uses de left list items that are shown in the right. But I think that all the options could be shown as squares with some bullets about what you can see at that location. Or think in a way to improve the configuration display. this can be done and give the user the option to go back to the old look.

Pros

edge works better than explorer, but I always remember internet explorer when you look at the browser icone. and that is a negative thought

Cons

What I deninetively hate about edge is that with "ctrl + h" I only open a small side bar with the navigation history, personatelly I dont like this, and I would prefer to open the browser history in a complete page, or to have an easy way to change this.

### "Edge is reliable "

November 12, 2025

4.0

This browser has provided a good overall experience for leisure and work and I don't see myself using another one for the foreseeable future.

Pros

I like how little ram and computer resources it uses compared to major competitors and it holds up to modern standards.

Cons

Generally speaking, it's a good browser but if I had to nitpick I'd say the button placement on the browser itself, the bars and where everything is located.

Chrome is a ram killer/eater. I don't like how slow it makes my pc.

### "Great Browser With Lots of Additional Features"

March 26, 2025

5.0

Overall Microsoft Edge is a winner. It is an easy to use browser with lots of additional features.

Pros

Great web browser but so much more. With new intergrations like tts, microsoft Edge has taken the web browser to the next level.

Cons

Not too much to complain about. However, two things come to mind. (1) With all the bells and whistles comes complexity. (2) ALL browsers for some reason, insist on trying to trick you into making their default.

### "Simply Can't Compete "

July 10, 2025

1.0

Not something I would recommend to anyone under the age of 45 - younger users will be unimpressed with the lack of versatility. This browser is fine for office work or basic tasks but this is not the application for gamers or streamers. My personal take-away from Edge was that it simply is not meant for me.

Pros

I do like that it offers basic customization, and that it has Bing built in as the default browser, making earning Microsoft Points easier and streamlined. The more modern UI is also appealing.

Cons

It is Internet Explorer dressed up in a tuxedo; it has never and will never have the customization, ease of use, add-on's, security features or the low impact on my PC performance while doing other things that many other browsers are capable of.

Pros

Microsoft Edge is my primary browser because it retains my logins and other info safely and securely.

Cons

### "Edge is a robust and secure browser"

January 12, 2026

It is a robust browser that features important productivity tools, such as collections and PDFs, and offers strong security.

Pros

I like Microsoft Edge's built-in tools, like collections and pdf tools. It is secure and provides a powerful integration with MS Windows.

Cons

Its search engine, Being, is less effective compared to Google search; otherwise, this browser is amazing.

### "Dev journey with Microsoft Edge"

March 11, 2025

4.0

I mostly used Microsoft Edge for running development environment as it has in build dev tools like redux and better inspector UI.

Pros

It is best for multi tasking computation as it is faster and light weighted, It also have many in build dev tools for developers.

Cons

There is no privacy, Microsoft track the activities.

As a web developer the inspector window where not align with my need, and there where also limited and hard to find in build plugins/dev tools.

January 20, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Microsoft Edge has been great so far. I haven’t had any problems or big issues with It.

Pros

What I like most about Microsoft Edge is its web browsing. It’s really simple and easy to use. You can add extensions and even manage your tabs.

### "Best Broweser for smooth and crashfree expereince "

May 28, 2025

4.0

My experience with Microsoft Edge has been great. It’s fast, smooth, and stable, even with many tabs open. However, the design could use improvements to match its great performance.

Pros

Microsoft Edge is extremely fast and reliable. It handles multiple tabs seamlessly without lagging, making browsing a smooth experience. It’s well-optimized and rarely crashes.

Cons

The design feels a bit outdated. While functional, it lacks a modern, user-friendly interface that could enhance the overall experience. More design polish is needed for a better look.

### "Simple yet Powerful"

June 3, 2025

5.0

A great web browser with nice extra features. It can be both simple and powerful. Compatibility with addons is great, and the collection system is a great tool to save articles for later

Pros

Simple but yet very powerful. If you only need something to browse on the internet, you can, if you want a too to access AI, to save article for late, compatible with many plugins, it check all thoses boxes

Cons

On rare occasion, it can be buggy. Sometimes, it doesn't retrieve our last saved tabs which is not good

### "My Go-To Web Browser"

June 18, 2025

5.0

Microsoft knows how to design great applications and Microsoft Edge is no exception. I didn't love Internet Explorer when that was a thing, but they made vast improvements with Edge.

Pros

Microsoft Edge is by far my most favorite browser. Great design, layout, and feature set. I don't use anything else.

Cons

Once in awhile, I experience some glitches where things don't look right. But usually just restarting fixes the issue.

### "le navigateur facile a multi-onglets"

January 25, 2026

5.0

Pros

facilement est rapide pour gerer plusieurs onglets lors de recherches créatives ou de validations clients. Les profils et la synchronisation sont pratiques pour séparer le travail personnel des projets professionnels.

Cons

Avec beaucoup d’onglets et de favoris liés à différents projets, l’organisation peut vite devenir chargée. Un peu plus d’options de classement aideraient à mieux structurer le tout sur la durée.

### "Excellent with work account and works well with Office 365"

March 31, 2025

5.0

Overall I'm very satisfied with my experience with Edge and I use it on daily basis. I love the ability to sync everything on my work account and the ability to work on any device from my organisations as if it's mine as I have everything in one place ready for me

Pros

Well integrated with Office 365 Easy to customise Ability to sync everything (favourites, passwords, forms etc..) with work/school account

Cons

Not all extensions are available Difficult to justify use if you come from non-Windows eco systems

### "Microsoft Edge Review"

May 28, 2025

5.0

Overall, Microsoft Edge is excellent. Its page loading is quick, it's easy to access your favorites bar, and being able to utilize the productivity tools makes it very enjoyable.

Pros

Microsoft Edge is our main source of internet use on our work computers. It's fast speed and built in productivity tools is what stands out the most.

Cons

In our line of work, we typically don't use edge for our own personal needs, it's really only ever used for work purposes through Canva and our city website to access our employee portal. Given those reasons we don't see many flaws with Edge to really say we have specific dislikes.

### "Does the job"

June 12, 2025

3.0

Overall, it does what it says on the tin and is a suitable tool for searching the web. Some features could be improved

Pros

Allows you to search for things, good tool for exploring the web. Similar features to other browsers (shopping, maps) I like the coupon feature

Cons

I don't like the way results are displayed, not always as relevant as other browsers. I'm also not to keen on Maps, functionality isn't as good as others.

### "Microsoft Edge : Ensemble complet"

June 4, 2025

4.0

L"expérience global est très bien mais pourrait être amélioré avec un meilleur repect des données client.

Pros

\- Je le trouve plus rapide que la plupart des moteur de recherche. Il parait plus optimisé - C'est un logiciel microsoft donc il s'intégre très bien dans Windows - il propose des outils très intéressant notament en lien avec l'IA

Cons

Microsft Edge n'a pas de VPN intégré à l'inverse d'Opera par exemple. Microsft collecte également pas mal de données grâce à se moeteur de recherche .

### "Best browser for business - don't be fooled by Chrome"

December 23, 2024

5.0

Pros

Edge is a fantastic browser - fast, stable, robust, customizable, not littered with ads like Chrome. Any organization using the 365 ecosystem should block all other browsers and just have employees use Edge, especially with all of the customizations and security controls available to IT.

Cons

Just that it doesn't have the brand name recognition of Chrome, so employees think it's a downgrade. But it's not - also uses the chromium technology! With copilot integration it keeps improving. Learn and use it.

### "Dowload its killers"

October 20, 2025

5.0

Pros

I like that the Microsoft Edge app is readily available on newly purchased computers, and I use it with other tools and browsers. It is good to have choice and variety. When one browser does not return what I need, I can also rely on Microsoft Edge.

Cons

I dislike that it is not as widely used as some of the others. I think branding has a lot to do with it, and other brands are trendy. I would like to see side-by-side comparisons of Microsoft Edge with different browsers and brands.

### "Edge - Best Browser?"

April 15, 2025

4.0

Pros

I like the way Edge is set up and how it is set to be made for Windows and Microsoft devices. It has everything integrated and you can do so much, it also makes it real easy for one to transfer their data from other browsers.

Cons

The one thing I dislike about it is that the browser screen can have a lot of things on there making it seem like the screen is doing too much. Editing the settings of this will rid that issue though.

### "Overall good web browser"

October 25, 2024

4.0

Pros

I like the amount of control you have with intune and group policy. It’s typically quick. It syncs data to even mobile devices.

Cons

I don’t like the autofill suggestions always being there. Can’t figure out how to get rid of specific things like when there are typos or something I don’t want saved. This could be a security concern because passwords could be displayed unintentionally if a password was accidentally entered into a wrong field and cached.

Alternatives considered

[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge

Amount of control and ease of control with Intune.

June 3, 2025

5.0

Pros

Edge saves me from the need of using third party software to save an annotated screenshot of long pages which I need to save quite frequently. It’s a great way to capture technical content or save docs links.

Cons

When one leaves the various windows open for long periods, Microsoft Edge has difficulty with memory management.

May 31, 2025

5.0

Pros

With features I didn’t have to install separately I got a fast, reliable browsing experience out of Microsoft Edge. It worked across many sites, fast loaded heavy pages and syncing across devices kept my workflow flowing.

Cons

Sometimes paused active tabs with media content that would interrupt video playback and live updates until I manually refreshed or changed the settings.
