Is NOW the Time to Switch to Microsoft Edge?

In this overview video, find out whether you should switch to Microsoft Edge. Edge has been innovating with many unique features that you won't find on any other browser. You can use the immersive reader to focus on the content that you care about. Edit & annotate PDFs using text, drawing, or highlighting. Create collections to help you plan a vacation, come up with gift ideas, or work effectively on a project. These are just a few of the features that we look at today. I've been a long time Chrome user and recently switched to Edge.

I already switched to Edge 5 months ago, and never look back. Lots of amazing features that suits to my needs. I really love the tab sleep feature :)

If you work in a Microsoft / Office 365 environment, Edge really beats all other browsers. The added functionality for business intern searches etc is really great.

Thanks, Kevin! I mostly use Edge now in the workplace. The Read Aloud function helps me listen to articles while get a screen time break.

As a teacher, I find Edge to be most suitable for me, especially the immersive reader tool. It's so awesome. I think Microsoft can win the hearts of many users with this tool.

Been using Edge for almost 3 years for all my work stuff (use Chrome for personal stuff). It really is great, and I love the vertical tabs! Collections are pretty good, but I don't use them all that much.

Using Edge for a year now and I must admit the fact, it's better than Chrome in almost every aspect for me. I don't even think about switching browsers now.

I started using edge in 2019 when the new version came out. I waited until then because the earlier version didn't support the Dark Reader plugin I liked. The fact that it was based on Chromium was even more enticing and I liked the added features that it provided such as the snipping tool.

I just switched to Edge weeks ago after I found the Android version to be impressive as well. I need browser settings and bookmarks to sync across multiple platform like Windows and my Android device and I say both the Windows and Android Edge improved a a lot. Will stick to it until Chrome managed to convince me to switch back again.

I live in Hyderabad. I will definitely try your cookies.

I have been a long-time Chrome user but switched to Edge two months ago and I love it. It has left Chrome in the dust in my opinion. Thanks for the additional features that I was not aware of.

[varunbaliga]

I have been using edge ever since windows came out with edge, I was sad to see the old edge go, because it was so light on both the CPU and RAM, especially coming from a dual core 4 gb ram system. Even after having a beast of a PC, i still use edge because once again it just suits my needs.

I've used Firefox forever. Just switched to Edge a couple weeks ago to give it a try. Impressive. I especially like vertical tabs. As well, I don't get the constant warnings about my browser using a lot of resources.

Thanks for this helpful and informative video.

[pussific]

Thank you! I've been using Edge for quite a while but I'm surprised there are still some features I didn't know about

[CheoWalker]

I switched to Edge in 2020 and so far I am happy with the switch plus I am getting Microsoft Reward Points.

[braydenmchan]

Thanks Kevin! I love the video and especially the transitions. One thing though is that a lot of the features you specified in this video are actually also available in chrome but edge just makes it easier to access.

[CesarPeron]

The Edge store has extensions that are not in the Chrome store, for example "Universal Bypass". Once you've been using Edge for a while, going back to Google Chrome is like going back to Internet Explorer 😂

[leonahjaneenaje]

I used ms edge browser from my old to new laptop. What I liked the most in this browser is that I can bookmark a lot of sites and show them in an icon. It loads faster too. It's a good browser for me.

[haroldechevarria]

I also had used Chrome for years and about a year or so ago I tried Edge due to the many revies I read then about the improvements made to it by Microsoft. They were right, ...is has vastly improved and I use it much more than I ever did before.

[abdirisakmubarik]

I switched to Microsoft Edge Oct last year, it has been the best experience I was looking for, all those features you mentioned became one of my favorite features of all times. Thanks for recognizing the amazing features done by Microsoft and sharing with us, Kevin.

[BobG-ehfc]

Great overview, been using Edge for a while, familiar with some of the features, you've filled in the gaps. Thanks
