Manufacturing Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

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. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Chrome is a ram killer/eater. I don't like how slow it makes my pc. Review Source JG James G.

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. Review Source Percival F. Owner Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

Cons The presence of features like Microsoft Shopping and the text selection menu can disrupt workflow and make simple tasks more complicated Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Better interface compared to the competition Review Source JN Jean-Pierre N. Instructional Designer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Edge is a robust and secure browser" January 12, 2026 5.0 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.

This has since been walked back Review Source VR Verified Reviewer MERN stack developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Switched from [Opera](https://www.capterra.com/p/229024/Opera/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) 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.

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. Cons What I like least about Microsoft Edge is how sometimes it transfers you to another website when trying to search. Review Source NN Nischal N.

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. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Chrome was lagging and was taking a lot of resources on my PC Review Source JT Joseph T. Photo and Videomaker Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Switched from [Firefox](https://www.capterra.com/p/228987/Firefox/) Intergration and simplicity of Edge as default browser help me make my move Review Source JM Jordan M. Corporate Training Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Way better user interface and experience! Review Source VV Vincent V. Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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.

Cons problem with ads, resource usage can still be hindered with too many tabs open and tools also. too many things with IA copilot. Review Source AA Amr A. Senior Lecturer in Marketing Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) The ability to sync my favourites and passwords across the organisation's devices Review Source AO Alanna O. Systems Analyst Trainee Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source RW Rachael W. Talent Acquisition Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source AM Anthony M. Ingénieur Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 . Review Source AB Aaron B. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Works just as well without all the tracking and ad clutter. Review Source RS Ruby S. Content Creator Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source JA Julian A. IT Specialist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source CH Chris H. Assoc Cloud and Sys Admin Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

IT Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Extremely stable and surprisingly versatile browser" 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. Review Source TD Teodor D. Data Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Made research and note taking more multitaskable" 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. Review Source Similar Products Featured
