Microsoft Edge is a web browser developed by Microsoft, first released in 2015 as a successor to the long-standing Internet Explorer. It represents Microsoft's modern approach to web browsing, aiming to provide a faster, more secure, and more productive online experience. Initially built with Microsoft's own browser engines, Edge was notably revamped in 2020 to utilize the Chromium open-source project, the same foundation that powers Google Chrome. This strategic shift has significantly enhanced Edge's compatibility with websites and extensions, performance, and overall user experience.
