The point to mention is users need ease of use and distraction-free browser, do not annoy them with your security restrictions.You can allow or block Microsoft Edge from opening PDF files externally by changing some settings using Registry Editor or Group Policy Editor in Windows 11/10. Remember when you open Google homepage on Internet Explorer or Firefox, a suggestion box appeared to convince you get a better and faster web browser? That is the level of security and privacy. No matter how much you criticize Chrome for privacy and security, it is still much much more secure than so called privacy monsters which have already been manipulated by Google on Google’s home page. Microsoft (and Mozilla, too) should learn from Google Chrome. On the other hand, if Microsoft proves itself stubborn browser developer (just like Firefox) who does not care user demands but only security, privacy and all nonsense that annoy users while browsing, then it might not have a different future than Internet Explorer (the browser of stone ages). If Microsoft is capable to fulfill user demand and focus more on user friendly environment rather than brutal security and and annoying privacy pop-ups, it can beat Chrome in a short time. That is why Edge comes pre-installed in Windows 10. Edge vs Chrome (what to expect in future)Įdge has one biggest advantage over Chrome it is powered by Microsoft, the Windows developer. And it seems possible enough because Edge has more useful features and now the best backbone software. Chrome is unbeatable (still) and Firefox has been losing its loyal users due to non-user friendly features to boast its privacy and nothing else. Microsoft Edge has been ranked as 4th or 5th most popular browser for Windows.

This sounds great and it will make MS Edge more popular than ever before. Besides these two major browser, there are lots of web browser based on Chromium engine. This is the backbone of most popular Google Chrome browser and also adopted by Opera Browser. Microsoft has decided to change its browser engine to most popular Chromium engine. It is not available for Windows 8, Windows 7 or earlier versions like Windows XP and Win 9x.
