Internet and users’ concerns against being tracked online in sophisticated ways has led many to search for alternatives, and Microsoft’s Edge browser is one of the primary substitutes. While its growth can be tied to the fact that Microsoft is heavily promoting Edge to Windows 10 users, it’s hard to deny that the browser hasn’t gotten really good. It’s received many new features since it became a Chromium-based project. With all these advancements, do you think Microsoft’s browser may have the edge over Google Chrome?
Over the last few months, Microsoft Edge has received several new features. Ahead of the Build 2021 developer conference earlier this week, Microsoft announced key new features coming to the browser, including Sleeping tabs that fixes Chromium’s RAM-hogging tendency, new themes, and a Startup Booster, which Microsoft claims makes Edge the fastest browser on Windows. Other than these, Vertical tabs on Edge let you streamline your workflow while a Kids Mode helps parents prevent their children from accessing any inappropriate content.
With all of these additions to Microsoft Edge, it has become a compelling alternative to Google Chrome. Features such as Sleeping tabs and Startup Booster also make it better for systems with limited resources. With these transformations, do you think Edge can be your default browser any time soon?
