Quick startup, user-friendly interface and other functions - Layfhaker gathered ten reasons that make a great browser Microsoft Edge.
In browsers from Microsoft notoriety. To change the attitude of users, developers are trying to help the new Edge. On desktops is not yet very successful - too high competition. But on tablets running Windows browser that can be used as the core. Here are the main arguments in favor of this statement.
1. launch speed
Microsoft Edge - record for the start of speed. No wonder, because Windows - native environment for this browser. Especially noticeable difference when compared with start congested extensions Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
2. Economy and energy efficiency
In Microsoft's claim that their browser allows laptops and tablets on battery power much longer competitors. If you are working on constantly connected to a desktop network, this setting is not important to you. But for owners of laptops and tablets energy efficiency matters.
3. User-friendly interface
Everyone has an opinion about how the browser should look perfect. But it seems to me that Microsoft Edge look like much. Design browser rigorous and concise, it fits perfectly in the Windows 10 environment. All of the tools at hand, smart search string, light and dark theme design - what else is needed for happiness?
4. expansion
Most recently, the lack of expansion was the biggest challenge Microsoft Edge. Now the browser obzavolsya own extensions directory. Elements in it is not very much, but everything you need is available: a password manager, advertising blocker, the Evernote, Pocket and Pinterest. We hope that this list will be gradually expanded.
5. reader mode
Many browsers have extensions, cleaning web page advertising and foreign elements for easy reading. However, in Microsoft Edge This function is built right into the program. In the settings you can set the optimum size and type of font, and choose a background color. In addition, the program has a special section in the tabs, where you can store your reading list.
6. Abstract page
In Microsoft Edge is a function that allows no third-party tools to make a screenshot of the page, to put it more tags and comments and then save or send to colleagues. Very convenient, especially if you use the stylus.
7. Synchronization
Synchronize personal data will come in handy if you are using multiple devices running Windows, such as laptop and tablet. In this case, both devices you will always be the same and the current set of bookmarks, passwords and other settings.
8. The tiles in the main menu
Again becomes actual idea of using web apps instead of the usual programs. In Microsoft Edge you'll just have to do it. First, because many services not let clients for the Windows platform. Secondly, because you can attach a link to any site on the "Start" menu in the form of tiles, and run it as a normal application. Comfortable, beautiful, functional.
9. mouse control
On desktop or laptop browser actions management with gestures - pleasant, but still optional feature. Very different things when using the tablet - is not this just will not do. This functionality is implemented in the Edge with a special extension, developed by Microsoft.
10. Development
Chrome browser has come a long way of development, which resulted in obzavolsya the feature set for which we appreciate it today. Microsoft Edge is only at the beginning of this path. Follow the development of this project is really interesting due to the constant appearance of new features, including quite extraordinary. For example, in the coming Creators Update browser will get a new tool for managing tabs, support for online payments and even the ability to read books in the epub format.
