In my tests, Edge also feels faster than Chrome and uses on average 14% less RAM. And unlike Chrome, Edge offers tracking prevention, which blocks ad providers from tracking you from website to website. The biggest drawback to the old Edge was its paltry selection of browser extensions, but because the new Edge uses the same rendering engine as Chrome, it can run Chrome extensions, which number in the thousands. The browser offers a clean design with intuitive features. It’s probably worth at least trying out the new Edge. If you’ve set another browser as your default, the new Edge won’t automatically override your preference - but like all browsers, it will ask if you want to make it the default. If you’ve been using the old Edge as your default browser, the new one will be your default as well.

The instructions in this article assume that you’ve installed the latest version of Windows 10 - version 20H2, a.k.a. As I’ll show you, it only takes a few minutes. "Not supporting these legacy technologies in Microsoft Edge has a number of benefits: better interoperability with other modern browsers, improved performance, security & reliability, and reduced code complexity, just to name a few," wrote principal program manager lead Charles Morris and senior program manager, Jacob Rossi in a 2015 blog post.Whatever the reason, if Edge is your default Windows 10 browser, it’s easy to switch to the browser of your choice.
In the early days of Edge, Microsoft removed 220,000 lines of code from IE for Edge, and with it, compatibility for technologies like ActiveX and Browser Helper Objects. Microsoft Edge initially shipped with a then-new rendering engine called EdgeHTML, but this was dropped in 2019 in favour of Blink when Microsoft decided to rebuild its browser on Chromium. In fact, it beat Chrome and Firefox in the majority of our benchmark tests, proving that it can go toe-to-toe with the biggest in the business. PerformanceĮdge was initially sneered at by many for being clunky and slow, but it's not as much of a slowpoke as you may think. There's also a 'Reading List' feature that syncs your content between different devices as well as a useful 'Reading Mode', which makes it easier to read the content you're viewing on devices.
