Microsoft released the Edge browser as the default browser for Windows 10 in 2015, and released the Microsoft Edge Chromium-based browser in early 2020. Edge supports Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7, Android, iOS, and Mac platforms.
The Sad Reality of Microsoft Edge
When you download the updated version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 computers, you'll replace the standard version of Edge (now outdated).
Microsoft Edge communicates and integrates well with Windows, unlike other options such as Firefox or Chrome. Edge is secure and can be easily updated by Microsoft. When a security issue arises, Microsoft updates the browser via Windows Update.
With the release of the Edge Chromium-based browser, Microsoft has added and improved features and capabilities to the already versatile Edge.
