9 Microsoft Edge Features Chrome Doesn't Have (...yet)

💡 While I still mainly use Google Chrome at work, I "supplement" my work browser with Microsoft Edge as my personal browser since it has so many cool features. In this video I'll break down 9 Microsoft Edge Features that Google Chrome doesn't seem to have...yet!

In the never-ending debate of Microsoft Edge vs. Google Chrome - which is the better browser - there is no right answer...but there are exclusive features! For example, Edge has an Immersive Reader mode that lets you browse webpages without distractions AND within it, the Read Aloud function is great way for you to "listen" to PDFs like you would a podcast!

Furthermore, Microsoft Edge has the "Save to Collections" feature that is extremely useful when you're doing research and looking to consolidate information on a given topic in 1 central location. And of course, while the Sidebar Search function is great, it could be even better if we could change the default search engine... 😉

I've been using edge for a months now after i reformat my laptop i was thinking why not give this edge a chance ? Then i was using it and im pretty impressive the PDF thing, Screenshot, QR, Voice Reader these features really help me as a student, it saves me a storage which i don't need to dl google chrome, over all i love how edge perform.

[ahmadkafi]

been a loyal firefox user for 7 years.
but after it's downfall.. i switched to edge.. it's working out really good.

Google is gonna be jealous about this video Jeff.

[sasazezelic]

You are very fun to watch!
I've been using Edge for a while now and I'm pretty satisfied. It evolved a lot and now it feels like somebody is really thinking about improving the browsing experience.
It finally gives the option to hide the title bar while in vertical tabs, so we actually get some extra vertical space.

Shortcut to take a full page screenshot on Chrome (not as easy as Edge):

Step 1: Ctrl + Shift + C (to open the element inspector)

Step 2: Ctrl + Shift + P (to open command line)

Step 3: Type screenshot and select "Capture full size screenshot"

I've tried to tell people before that edge is genuinely a good browser but they don't want to seem to hear it

[nonmetallica]

I definitely agree with the tab groups! It makes little sense with horizontal view of grouped tabs

[akiyoshidoug]

Vertical Tabs is the main reason I was using Edge, now that Brave has it too, I came back to Brave. Oh, and I didn't know it was possible to group tabs haha, I just learned something new with your video. Thank you.

[cenevspeed]

I am a tech enthusiast and these features weren't new to me. But the reason I subscribed is because of your humour and the way you explain!! And you inspired me to make my latest video(no joke) :)

Hey Jeff! Thanks for another good video with some great tips! Why is it that you don’t use Edge as your primary browser? What do you feel it is lacking and what do you use instead and why? Thanks again!

[aixtom]

I have been hooked on vertical tabs for decades on the "old" Firefox with the appropriate extentions. Once you have used them, it's a major annoyance to go back to horizontal tabs. When Firefox phased out the classic extentions that were able to deliver that I switched to Pale Moon, and have been a happy camper there for years. But unfortunately more and more websites tend to use "Chrome Engine Only" features these days, so something happened that I thought would never happen, I installed a Microsoft product on my Linux box, because Edge is a better Chrome than

I've been using Microsoft Edge for months now, but I only discovered the sidebar search right now! Very practical and useful content as always Jeff!

[arizkayaba]

I've been using Edge for the past 2 years, and I love it. I don't have to hustle through the settings to change the defaults and it syncs across my other computers, even my phone.

[serhiituzkov]

Long time I have ignored this browser. Some out-of-box Edge's features are great! Thanks for the video, Jeff!

[minhaaj]

man you create so much value. Really love your videos. keep shining.

[euelianamaia]

Thumbs up for more videos like this 👍 i've been using Edge since I don't know when and didn't know many of these features. What I like about Edge is how easy it is to share a page between devices
