Today we will once again feature one of Microsoft’s best free software that is available on multiple platforms and perhaps the most known Microsoft software. I am talking about Microsoft Edge which has steadily grown over the past year thanks to Microsoft announcing that the new Microsoft Edge will be built using the Chromium engine meaning it will basically use the same engine that powers the most popular browser in the world and my current favorite browser, Chrome. Microsoft Edge has a bunch of new options and I have to admit it is much better than Internet Explorer, Edge is faster and most important, Edge will now have the built in security that comes with Chromium. I installed Microsoft Edge last week just to test it and I will actually keep it on my laptop as a backup. You can also now try Bing’s new Ai on your Chromebook using the official Bing app which automatically integrates Edge in it when you browse.

With its seamless integration across devices, you can easily continue your browsing session from your Android phone to your Windows 10/11 device without any interruption. By linking your phone to the browser, your browsing data will automatically sync in the background, allowing you to access your favorite websites, bookmarks, and saved passwords on any device. Additionally, Microsoft Edge also includes features such as a built-in ad blocker and tracking prevention to protect your privacy while browsing the web.
