Microsoft Edge security improvements detailed

New browser uses safer sandboxing, compiler and memory control techniques.

From Hexus:

As Microsoft Edge is a Universal Windows App "both the outer manager process, and the assorted content processes, all live within app container sandboxes". The app container sandbox is turned on all the time so all browser processes run with less privileges than the user and browser controls.

Windows ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) is stronger on 64-bit computers. Attackers should find it much more difficult to inject malicious code into your browser process via a coding bug.
