Powerful yet, underrated internet browser
Undoubtedly Microsoft Edge is one of the best internet browser available with many unique features under its sleeve. If privacy is your priority then Edge is the most secure option for you even if in the past you have vowed to stay away from Microsoft internet browser.
PROSFast and stable, having used various browsers I have found that Microsoft edge consumes comparatively lesser RAM even when multi tasking. Robust privacy features like blocking trackers. Many websites rely on trackers to gather data about your internet browsing . At my office, we always have the Strict option enabled to prevent tracking of our browsing data. This is a great feature for enterprise use. Ability to use extensions in private mode, I could never do this with google chrome. Web capture is something that I use almost every day and this built in feature lets you take screenshots quickly without relying on extensions or other software. Smart screen security. This is a great built-in feature that warns you about suspicious websites. Additionally, when you try to download any types of executable files from website and the smart screen feature analyses the download and it will immediately terminate the download if found to be from malicious in nature. Read aloud s the coolest feature on Microsoft edge. It can read aloud any web pages and even pdf files and you can choose the accent of your choice to listen. Password manager is much advanced than Google Chrome, Microsoft edge can suggest you stronger passwords and seamlessly store and sync them This way you don't have to use another password manager software.
CONSBeen using it for two years in office and personal computer for almost 2 years now. Haven't come across any Cons worth mentioning.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Edge
The main reason for switching from Google Chrome was the added safety and privacy features of the Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft edge is lite browser, quite god for my device
For my laptop , Microsoft edge is top choice, due to simple interface. 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.
PROSVery 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.
CONSMain limitation I found it has less extension than other web browsers. loading time takes some time , it performs letter okey.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Edge
For windows user its built-in browser, it improved than few years back.

You can't blame the successor on its ancestry, but I want no more of its lineage
I would compare it favorably to having a full frontal lobotomy.
PROSIt integrated Chrome plugins OK. The Chromium base does help it work with the things you'd like to use it for.
CONSIf I understand correctly, Macroswift (Mycroswaffed?) set it up uniquely to be able to take care of the full hardware capabilities of your machine and forces other browsers to make do with the leftovers. Edge can go in a dark corner and do unpleasant things to itself.It also sucked for feedback for web development.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge
Because it was bundled with the operating system.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Edge
System limitations. I blame it on Microsoft and how they set up Windows.

Give it a try - it's miles better than you may think!
Very positive in terms of workflow and organisation as well as integration with Microsoft's other apps, such as Office 365, OneDrive, etc.
PROSWorkspaces. without a doubt this is the single best thing about Edge for my workflow. As a web developer, I have many pages open at the same time and trying to locate the page I want can be a nightmare. Workspaces makes this so much easier.
CONSThe integrated search engine, Bing. It's getting better, but there's a long way to catch up to Google, in terms of search results and their presentation on the page.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge
Workspaces, because it's so useful.

A New Twist On An Old Classic
Edge zooms past its predecessor with agility and speed, all without taxing your precious computer resources. As with other popular browsers, users can download browser extensions to modify their experience, or take a gander at affiliated services such as downloading games or earning rewards. It operates like the old browsers we loved growing up but with the efficiency of newer ones. Because of the stability, Edge is the default browser for the company virtual desktop—across the board.
CONSSometimes certain web elements, scripts, etc won't work in Edge. I also don't 100% trust that my data isn't being harvested and resold to other third-parties.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Edge
The web browser is very stable and doesn't take up as much computation.

Minimalistic Browser that perfected for Perfomance.
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.
PROSThe inclusion of side bar is the one reason I used Edge the other is the inclusion of auto translate of web pages.
CONSThe user interface is a turnoff and feels outdated for such a powerful browser.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge
It comes preinstalled on my primary OS.

Good Browser,
Microsoft Edge is set up to work really nicely on Microsoft computers, or pretty much anything other than Apple products. As a browser, it's pretty good. Decent search engine and ad blocking. Much better than Internet Explorer.
CONSMicrosoft Edge does seem a littler slower than other existing browsers. The User Interface could be adjusted to be a little more aesthetic/modern. Microsoft Edge is not my preferred browser to use, but since it pairs nicely with Microsoft products, it is usually my second choice when working with computers. I would not recommend it on mobile devices, and prefer the setup of other browsers on those.

Microsoft Edge
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.
PROSMicrosoft 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.
CONSMicrosoft 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.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Edge
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.

The Edge You Need
Microsoft Edge is a great product and is dedicated to being at the forefront on internet browsers.
PROSI love using Microsoft edge because it makes me feel safe when I am browsing. It seems to put security first so I like how important it is that they are dedicated to protecting me while I am online.
CONSThe security and private browsing on Edge are great, but sometimes it makes it hard to look up everything I need. The pop-up blocker makes it hard to use certain secure websites. So it can be a little buggy at times.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge
I always felt safer with Microsoft Edge - they don't watch me search and I can be directed to safe websites.

The whole digital world is in this browser!
You start to notice the difference when you first download and install it. After a quick and simple installation, it is ready to use with a few steps. Unlike other browsers, it has been simplified and freed from all unnecessary icons, offering users a wider screen. Whether it is entertainment or professional work, we have achieved a fast and performance structure. Our access to information has become faster and safer thanks to a simple and easy interface as well as powerful and smart filters. Thanks to its add-ons, a structure that can personalize and control the screen has been gained.I can guarantee that you will abandon your old browser after the first try.
PROSMS Edge is perhaps a high-end browser published in the digital age we live in. It has become a door to unique worlds with an excellent experience, customized pages, increased security, multiple modes, password protection and creating strong passwords, intelligent scanning system, strong artificial intelligence search mode supported by Bing, interfaces developed for the game, and performance increase. Thanks to the high-level increase in performance, game performance, image sharpening, sleep support on non-working pages, minimum system resources provide maximum performance. All the features you are looking for are offered to you in a single platform, thanks to improved reading aloud systems, web plug-ins, tracking and tracking blocking interfaces.
CONSUnlike previous versions, Edge has a structure that is one step ahead of all browsers. This will need more publicity. Because you cannot predict that you will experience this performance and security in a single browser.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Edge
Improved security technology, more tracking prevention, minimal resource consumption, internal organization according to game performance, increased performance feature, easy installation, simple and easy interface.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Edge
Its heavy and bulky structure, low performance, low browser security, leaving traces on all unnecessary sites and inability to respond to requests.

Microsoft Edge-"A lightweight browser that is easy to use"
Even though Microsoft Edge has limited features, it is an efficient browser that is easy to use. I have been able to surf the internet quickly because the browser loads web pages quickly and provides search results in a matter of seconds. Consequently, I have been able to conduct online research in a timely and efficient manner. Furthermore, at my past workplace I have been more productive when I use Microsoft Edge. For instance, I have been able to open, access and review PDF files such as reports, memos, and letters, using Microsoft Edge. Consequently, I was able to complete my tasks faster.
PROSI like that Microsoft Edge is a lightweight browser, therefore, it does not use up a lot of storage space on my devices. Moreover, since it is a lightweight browser, it loads web pages quickly. Consequently, it has been my preferred browser at home and at work, when I want to load pages with a lot of content. As a result, I have been able to conduct research at work and at home in an efficient manner. Moreover, the browser is easy to use and it has never crashed. Therefore, I have never experienced any delays when conducting research online. Therefore, I have been able to complete tasks and avoid the frustration that I usually experience with other web browsers that take a while to load web pages. Furthermore, I open PDF files such as reports, memos, and letters, using Microsoft Edge because it is very compatible with that file type.
CONSAlthough, Microsoft Edge an efficient web browser, it has some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that it does not have a lot of features such as extensions and plug-ins. Another disadvantage is that I get a lot of error messages, when I try to open collaboration websites like Blackboard Collaborate, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams in Microsoft Edge. In most cases, I get an error message that says that my browser is outdated, even though I have the latest version of the web browser.

Never say never
I remember after the IE debacle over the years, I told a friend of mine: never will I be using a Microsoft browser again. I guess I was wrong! It's crazy how much Microsoft has worked on Edge to make it such an enjoyable piece of software to use to navigate on the internet. Since my company has optimized its personal tools to work with Edge (since it's pre-installed on Windows PC), I was forced to use it for overall browsing purposes and I do not regret it. There are however still websites that aren't optimized for it yet.
PROSSoftware optimization. It might look stupid to some, but other browsers eat up so many resources/RAM. In comparison, I feel Edge has the edge. In the end, for a tool that is being used so much on a regular basis and with many tabs and windows open, it should be the primary aspect that is being considered.
CONSThere isn't something specific to Edge that I heavily disliked. The only real issue I have is with web developers that are failing to also optimize their websites for Edge. I have this issue specifically for a CRM tool and when I want to use it I need to switch to another browser.

Microsoft Edge's Effeciency
Overall, still recommend this product from microsoft especially if you're using and patronizing their other products, you gotta use Edge because it integrate with other Microsoft products well.
PROSI've been using both Edge and Google currently and I can say that both features are alike, I mean they work and do what they're intended to do just the same but most people are probably more familiar with Chrome, have use it first and doesn't know about the new alternative, which is the Microsoft Edge. From my experience I can tell a few difference from the two if you're having a problem with Chrome and looking for other alternatives. There features are almost the same like bookmarks, adblockers, search engine etc.. but when it comes to extension I gotta say that Chrome has more edge but Edge require less Ram so some might consider it.
CONSTheir is really no big issue in Microsoft Edge, it's fine but need to do better in order to exceed the competitors.
