T3rM1nat0Rr3 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Microsoft Edge is a free web browser based on the Chromium Open Source project and other Open Source software. Anyone who's used Google Chrome will immediately feel right at home with the new Microsoft Edge since both browsers are based on Chromium. Currently, you'll need a 64-bit operating system. On startup, you can import your links, favorites, and settings when you install. Options are available to customize what you want or don't want, to import as well as the option to sync across devices. The interface is clean and easy to use. The voice options to read a page is a neat feature and works well. Most popular extensions are also available in the Microsoft Store. Microsoft Edge delivers as we hoped and expected with a clean, simple, friendly web browser that we think many people will now gladly use as their default web browser; something very few people wanted with Internet Explorer.

Very nice indeed. Never thought Microsoft would make such a decent browser. 2 hours ago, ashish1989 said: Any comparison, how is it better than chrome It's lighter, cleaner and smoother. And... You can always install Chrome extensions. But...... at the moment you can't sync history, open tabs and extensions. But yes, you should really try it. My default browser.

My default browser. I myself would like an alternative to Chrome myself, but Chrome is so much easier with the extensions, addons and all my software just runs good with it. That being said, I wish I had something else at times, not sure if its Microsoft and Firefox is a resource hog itself, what could be the alternative.

They took Google's already excellent Chromium code and applied Windows OS optimizations to it. It's an excellent combination, but I wish they used Firefox for base to keep data more private.
