Has Microsoft Edge Caught Up with Chrome?

March 07, 20245 min read

Microsoft Edge has stepped up its game, redefining what a browser can be. It’s your digital sidekick, poised to revolutionize productivity and online security. If you think a browser is just for surfing the web, buckle up because Edge is about to blow your mind. Here's the inside scoop on the latest features that are shaking things up and how Edge has caught up to Chrome.

A New Era of Productivity: Microsoft Edge Workspaces

Imagine a world where your tabs aren’t a chaotic mess but a symphony of productivity. Workspaces in Microsoft Edge bring that vision to life. Think of each project you’re working on – whether it’s a business proposal, vacation planning, or learning a new hobby – as a separate, neatly organized bubble. Edge lets you create custom Workspaces for each of these bubbles, integrating all your relevant tabs, documents, and websites into a cohesive unit.

Key Features of Microsoft Edge Workspaces

  1. Personalization: Name and color-code your Workspaces to distinguish them at a glance. One for your marketing campaign in blue, another for your kid’s birthday party in yellow – it’s all about making your digital life more intuitive.

  2. Easy Access: Switch between Workspaces with a single click. Jump from drafting an email to planning your trip without losing your place or your sanity.

  3. Persistence: Your Workspaces remain intact even after closing the browser. Reopen Edge and pick up right where you left off without reconstructing your digital environment.

  4. Efficient Task Management: Minimize distractions and focus on one task at a time. Each Workspace is a sanctuary for your productivity, free from the noise of unrelated tabs.

Edge is not just about individual features; it’s about creating an integrated environment that supports your workflow and boosts efficiency. From its seamless sync across devices to its intuitive interface, Edge is designed to make your online experience as smooth and productive as possible.

Additional Upgrades

Microsoft is relentless in its quest to make Edge the ultimate browser. Here are some more features that make it stand out:

  1. Autofill for Forms: Filling out online forms can be tedious. Edge’s Autofill feature suggests completions for fields like your name, email, and address, making the process swift and painless.

  2. Web Capture: Taking screenshots has never been easier. With Web Capture, you can select specific areas or entire pages and paste them directly into your documents. This tool is a lifesaver for creating reports, presentations, or just saving something interesting for later.

  3. Copilot: Edge’s Copilot is your personal AI assistant. Whether you need to generate images, draft emails, or brainstorm ideas, Copilot has you covered. Access these AI-powered features through the Copilot icon at the top of Edge.

  4. Read Aloud: Need to step away from the screen but don’t want to lose your place? Let Edge read content aloud to you. This feature is perfect for multitasking, allowing you to stay productive while on the move.

  5. Collections: Organize your research and inspiration in one place. Collections let you gather and arrange web pages, images, and text snippets, making it easier to compile resources for projects, plan events, or save favorite recipes.

Privacy and Security

Edge’s commitment to privacy and security is evident in its robust set of features designed to protect your data. Beyond the built-in VPN, Edge offers tracking prevention, password monitoring, and InPrivate browsing to ensure your online activities remain confidential and secure.

Tracking Prevention: Edge’s tracking prevention feature blocks trackers from sites you haven’t visited directly, minimizing how much of your data is collected without your knowledge. This not only enhances privacy but also speeds up your browsing experience.

Password Monitor: Integrated into the browser, Password Monitor scans the web for data breaches that might involve your saved credentials. If a breach is detected, you’ll receive an alert to change your password immediately, adding an extra layer of security to your online accounts.

InPrivate Browsing: When you need extra privacy, InPrivate browsing mode ensures your history, cookies, and site data are not saved after your session ends. This is perfect for searching sensitive topics or shopping for surprise gifts.

Enhanced Security with Edge Secure Network VPN

In a world where privacy breaches are rampant, Edge’s built-in VPN is a game-changer. Edge Secure Network VPN offers 5GB of free data every month, encrypting your internet connection and shielding your online activities from prying eyes.

Key Benefits of the VPN in Microsoft Edge

  1. Enhanced Privacy: Mask your IP address to prevent tracking, especially on public Wi-Fi. Stay anonymous and keep your data safe from malicious actors.

  2. Secure Browsing: Enjoy encrypted connections that secure data transmission between your device and the internet, significantly reducing the risk of data interception.

  3. Geographic Consistency: The VPN ensures your online location appears consistent, making sure local search results stay relevant without the hassle of region-specific traffic routing.

  4. Complimentary 5GB Data: With 5GB of free VPN data each month, you’re equipped to protect your browsing activities, excluding heavy streaming sites like Netflix to conserve data.

Why Microsoft Edge Stands Out Against Chrome

For years, Chrome has been the dominant player in the browser market, known for its speed and extensive extensions. But Microsoft Edge has closed the gap and, in some areas, surpassed Chrome by focusing on what users need most: security and productivity.

Performance and Speed: Edge uses the same Chromium engine as Chrome, ensuring comparable speed and performance. However, Edge’s optimizations often result in faster loading times and better battery efficiency, particularly on Windows devices.

Better Resource Management: Edge is designed to use less memory than Chrome, meaning it can handle multiple tabs without slowing down your system. This is a boon for users who juggle numerous tabs and applications simultaneously.

Privacy Focus: While Chrome is known for its vast data collection practices, Edge has positioned itself as a more privacy-conscious alternative. Features like tracking prevention and InPrivate browsing put users’ privacy at the forefront.

Seamless Integration with Microsoft 365: Edge’s tight integration with Microsoft 365 makes it a powerful tool for professionals and businesses. Features like Collections and Workspaces enhance collaboration and project management, providing a seamless experience across Microsoft’s suite of productivity tools.

Cross-Platform Sync: Just like Chrome, Edge offers cross-platform sync, but with the added benefit of syncing with other Microsoft services. Whether you’re on Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS, your bookmarks, passwords, and settings follow you, ensuring a consistent experience.

CMIT Security Solutions

There is no cybersecurity silver bullet.

Cyberattacks can take many forms, from infected emails to compromised admin accounts.

Defending against these threats requires a layered approach, where if one defense fails, another can identify and stop the attack.

This includes keeping people routinely trained and informed about the latest threats

Our security checklist identifies 15 recommended strategies, tailored to align with CIS and NIST frameworks.

This comprehensive approach ensures robust protection suited to your business's security posture, covering all bases to keep your business safe.

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed. They have assisted me with various technical needs in my business and I appreciate small businesses supporting other small businesses in our community."

Swiss Learning Center

"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

Shari

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
