About Microsoft Edge

Yes, Microsoft Edge is a modern browser developed by Microsoft based on the Chromium Project. It’s a full Google Chrome alternative browser. Edge is actually a Chromium Internet browser.

Microsoft Edge Browser easily supports Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Even it can be installed on both 32-bit and 64-bit OS.

Microsoft Edge Online Installer

The browser usually provides an online installer for download on Windows like the MicrosoftEdgeSetup.exe file. The online installer is small in size. To install this pack on your PC the browser requires an internet connection.

Naturally, many times it seems to be a problem. The biggest advantage of an online installer is that it always provides you the latest version.

OK download it and put it in your collection. In future, if you have an offline network, just install it on any PC. This will save you both time and internet bandwidth.

Being a Popular Browser: It is clean, fast and secure. So along with other conventional browsers, Microsoft Edge 2024 has become popular.

Google Chrome Alternative:  Microsoft Edge works just like Chrome. It shares many features of Google Chrome in its own browser. You can even install Google Chrome extensions if you want. However, this browser adds its own changes and features to the design.

Among its new features is a profile button that allows you to access settings and manage and switch profiles. So in this browser, you can use different profiles like Chrome.

App Launcher: Follow the top right side of it. It has a feature called App Launcher. An Edge user can use the Microsoft 365 app for free from here. You also get more apps and tools here.

Have you installed Windows 11/10 on your PC? This browser will be automatically installed on your computer.

Features/ Interface

First, you will see four small icons on the left side of the browser.
