I’ve also grown dependent on Microsoft Edge’s alt-tab multitasking on Windows 10.
Smart Copy lets you copy and paste a table from a website without compromising on its original formatting. With “Collections,” you can organize related web pages, text snippets, images, and more into folders - which comes in handy when, say, you’re planning a trip. While browsing your history, you can look up items in language like “news articles from last week,” as opposed to trying to trace a specific web address. Further, it automatically mutes those pesky notification pop-ups from websites. Other than the usual collection of privacy tools like automatic HTTPS and tracker prevention, for instance, Microsoft Edge has a more accessible dashboard where you can manage which permissions sites are allowed to access and the cookie data stored on your machine. On top of that, Microsoft has added a range of its practical touches. It’s equipped with the speed and vast third-party marketplace of Google Chrome along with the privacy-first trappings that only recently drew me to Mozilla Firefox. In saying that, I strongly believe that Edge might just surprise you after looking at some of the features below.Microsoft Edge’s most compelling attribute, however, is the balance it sets. If you’ve still got PTSD from your Internet Explorer days, I don’t blame you. Whilst there’re large chunks of features that look the same, Microsoft has introduced a fair amount of under-the-hood upgrades that are not immediately obvious. Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium, the free and open-source project that powers Google Chrome, which means all the extensions that work in Chrome automatically work in Edge. This must have struck a chord with them because Microsoft Edge is nothing like its predecessor, and actually stands a chance of eroding Chrome’s 65% market share. The slow and sluggish browser simply couldn’t keep up with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. It came as no surprise when they finally killed off Internet Explorer in June 2022.
I know it, you know it, and they especially know it. Microsoft screwed up an opportunity of a lifetime with Internet Explorer.
