What is Microsoft Edge?

Microsoft Edge is a proprietary, cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft. It was first released in 2015 as part of Windows 10 and Xbox One and later ported to other platforms as a fork of Google’s Chromium open source project: Android and iOS, macOS, older Windows versions and most recently Linux, as a replacement for the aging Internet Explorer browser.

Initially, Microsoft Edge was built using Microsoft’s own rendering engine called EdgeHTML. However, in 2019, Microsoft announced a significant change to the browser by adopting Chromium, the open-source engine that powers Google Chrome. This move allowed Microsoft Edge to have better compatibility with web standards and improved performance.

Microsoft Edge offers a range of features and capabilities similar to other modern browsers. It supports tabbed browsing, allowing users to open multiple websites within the same window. It also includes features like a customizable start page, a reading mode that removes clutter from web pages for easier reading, and a built-in PDF reader.

One notable feature of Microsoft Edge is its integration with Microsoft services and platforms. It provides seamless synchronization with a user’s Microsoft account, allowing them to access their bookmarks, browsing history, and settings across multiple devices. Edge also integrates with other Microsoft products such as Windows Timeline and Microsoft 365, providing a more unified experience for users within the Microsoft ecosystem.
