“And you are no longer compelled to have Bing as the search engine,” Gold said. Microsoft has also been adding features to Edge, such as enhanced security and privacy, “coupons” for those use it to shop, and performance enhancements, Gold noted.Įdge also doesn’t have some of the issues earlier versions had handling some websites. "When Microsoft switched to a Chromium engine, Edge got a lot faster and more compatible with more websites that, because of the preponderance of Google Chrome browsers, were built to be compatible with Chrome and not the older Edge (it had some unique requirements for full compatibility)," Gold said. Not only did Microsoft make Edge a Chrome copy, it also expanded support to versions of Windows other than 10, including macOS and Linux. In 2020, Microsoft relaunched Edge, recasting it with the same browser code that powers Chrome. Now, however, Edge is relatively comparable to Chrome in term of performance largely because it is built on the underlying Chromium engine. Initially, it suffered from performance and compatibility issues across the web, which pushed many users to Chrome, according to Gold. Safari isn't even in the top four browsers. For example, Net MarketShare’s most recent data has Chrome at an eye-opening 73.24% market share, Edge at 12.93%, and Firefox at 4.73%. Some web analytics services already have Edge even further ahead of browsers - except the ever-dominant Chrome.
