The new default browser Windows 10, already won over a lot of people. It's beautiful, modern and full of features that take internet browsing to another level, but does it deserve to be the system's default browser? Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and even the Internet Explorer, are competitors of the novice Edge, but the Spartan browser is full of tricks up its sleeve. See some:
Faster than chome, Firefox (e Internet Explorer)
O Edge has already shown in benchmark tests to be faster Google Home, Firefox e Internet Explorer, which, let's face it, is not very difficult. To browse the internet, it is definitely the best option, for those who are in the Windows 10.
reading mode
The reading mode is a function brought from the Windows Phone, and is very welcome on desktops. With it, you can read without the distractions that websites offer. The experience is great and encourages reading, as well as being directly connected with the next subject. And yes, in other browsers it is possible to do this with an extension, but the native presence of the Edge function facilitates and encourages its use.
Reading List
The reading list is a kind of vitaminized bookmarks bar. There you can save links, articles and notes to read later. Don't have time to read that article, but don't want to miss it?! save it to reading list.
Although it is also possible to use applications, such as pocket, for example, the minimalist interface and easy handling make Edge earn points.
It's a really secure browser
Its predecessor, Internet Explorer, was an easy target for “virtual crooks” jokes and this must have made the Microsoft Be very cautious with your new browser. Edge is really a safe environment for browsing, and that's because it's a universal Windows app. It is an application that runs in a sandbox (sandbox, in free translation), that is, it does not have access to the system and the system cannot access it, in addition to this segregation, one of the main characteristics of sandbox applications is not save records or damage done to them, everything is erased when restarting the system. Working in this way, in parallel with Windows, it can guarantee complete data security.
It's simple to configure
Forget complex settings menus, Edge was developed so that anyone can configure it without any problems. Its settings menu is very simple and intuitive and can be found by clicking on the three dots (...) on the upper right side.
It has the integrated Cortana
The browser has in its gut the most beloved personal assistant in the tech world, Cortana. Unfortunately it is only available in English. But by the end of the year we'll have her speaking in good Spanish.
You can annotate websites and share easily
The annotation system is perhaps the best and most addictive feature of the Edge. Its integration with OneNote makes it even better, as the cross-platform integration makes accessing your notes a lot easier, as well as being able to share your notes with friends or save them to your reading list.
And finally, the negative points could not be missing…
Edge does not yet support extensions
If you're an extension freak, unfortunately, Edge isn't the place for you yet. Microsoft has already confirmed that the browser will support extensions, but has not yet implemented the functionality.
It still doesn't support Whatsapp Web
WhatsApp Web has already become an indispensable tool for many, so don't even try to use it on Edge with your iPhone, it won't work.
