Microsoft Edge is one of the most popular cross-platform browsers in the world. Despite its young age, Edge takes full advantage of the Chromium platform to offer the best extensions and add-ons — something only Google Chrome can match. For Windows users, Edge has the added benefit of being factory-installed, taking the pain out of hunting down a capable browser after setting up your operating system.
Microsoft Edge gets a “Super Duper Secure Mode” security feature
Edge is not only a feature-rich browser, but also pays special attention to privacy and security. With its help, you can browse safely and privately — which, one can argue, no other browser in the segment offers. Today, we will look at two privacy- and security-focused features of Microsoft Edge — we will tell you which one to choose and when.

Super Duper Secure Mode is an experimental safe browsing feature in Microsoft Edge that provides a molecular perspective on security breaches. When enabled, Super Duper Secure Mode disables JIT compilers, which coincidentally are responsible for 45% of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. In addition to the rejection, Super Duper Secure Mode, or SDSM, enables Intel’s hardware-based exploit mitigation: Controlflow Enforcement Technology. The combination of the two factors — along with the promise of providing more mitigation tools — promises to be a valuable addition to Microsoft Edge.
