In 2015, Microsoft Edge debuted and shipped as the default browser with Windows 10. When it launched, the browser didn't make a splash and struggled to keep up with its counterparts like Chrome and Firefox. Later, Microsoft switched gears and embraced the Chromium project, an open source web browser project developed by Google. It's also the same framework on which the best Chromebooks are based. The switch to Chromium appears to have paid off since the Edge browser has slowly emerged as a popular alternative to Chrome.

This feature alone has made it worth sticking with Microsoft Edge over Chrome

Like many others, I used to only ever use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (and later Edge) to download Google Chrome on a new Windows machine. But last year’s Chromium-based Microsoft Edge was intriguing enough that it convinced me to give it a proper try. I was sure that I’d use it for a couple of days before ultimately getting frustrated at something broken or half-baked before returning to Chrome. On the contrary, I haven’t looked back since. Edge has been my primary browser for all my work needs, and that's remained the case even as I switched platforms to macOS.
