Microsoft Edge is promising and has been a widely used browser with what it promises (since it is based on Chromium) and its upgraded version was distributed on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows and with macOS. Downloading this browser will replace the legacy version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 PCs. With its speed and performance, best-in-class compatibility with websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features, it’s the only browser you will need.
What happens is that no matter how good this is, it cannot be perfect and vulnerabilities may appear, which we must be careful, vulnerabilities like the ones we will see today.
