Now Microsoft has finally come out with mobile versions, albeit in beta testing form. With no Android or iOS version of Edge, Google Chrome has ended up dominating on Android, and Apple's Safari browser has a deeply integrated presence on Apple devices. While Firefox may struggle with HD video streaming, and Chrome may eat up a lot of system memory, Edge has neither of these problems and is a night-and-day improvement over Internet Explorer.Īndroid and iPhone integration: When this browser launched alongside Windows 10 in mid-2015, it lacked a way to smoothly sync your activity to mobile devices. About a year later, Microsoft added support for add-ons, so you have things like LastPass, Reddit Enhancement Suite, Evernote, Pinterest, and ad blockers - but they don't slow down the browsing experience like add-ons have been known to do. ProsĪ fundamentally fluid and snappy browser: On release day, Edge loaded pages quickly and scrolled smoothly.
But with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Edge has had two and half years to mature and improve.
While the Microsoft Edge browser is definitely a compelling upgrade to Internet Explorer in Windows 10, it's struggled against aggressive competition from Google, Apple, and Mozilla.
