This presents a significant opportunity for Edge to be able to capitalise on those web users looking for more privacy and greater control of their data. Google is going to be removing third-party cookies and trackers in Chrome, however this won’t be happening for at least 2 years. This is in addition to the anti-tracking features, Collections as well as the support for 4k Netflix with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision which will help to make it stand it out over Chrome.įurthermore, there is also the aspect of trust and which browser company that you trust with your data.
Microsoft is encouraging enterprise users to make the move to give them access to features such as the Internet Explorer mode which allows businesses to load legacy IE sites within Edge automatically. With all the questions raised above, what is the argument for making the switch to Microsoft’s Edge Chromium browser? Edge produces in terms of new features such as Collections which makes it easier to collate images and content from the web and tracking prevention. You will find that Edge has a similar look and feel to Chrome including full compatibility for Chrome extensions.
Microsoft plans to fill the gap on these syncing features later in 2020. You will find that both history sync and extension sync are not present, however you will see that the usual features such as favourites, settings, addresses and passwords will all sync. In light of Edge Chromium being readily available today, it is being launched without some features that you are accustomed to using in Chrome. At this point, Microsoft is taking a very softly, softly approach, slowly implementing Edge to clusters of Windows 10 users via a Windows Update before it ramps up the roll out to all users during the Summer. Over the course of the next few months, Microsoft will be looking to automatically update Windows 10 users to this new Edge browser which will completely replace the older version.
At this stage, Microsoft is only looking to target this browser at its main enterprise users of Windows & MacOS, however it will be soon available for standard customers too in the form of a download. This new browser is available for all users to download, less than a year after Microsoft revealed its plans to make the switch to Chromium. Microsoft has finally launched its hotly anticipated new Edge Chromium browser to both Windows and macOS users.
