Find out why Edge isn't bad and what makes Microsoft insist on it 1u4to

When it comes to internet browsers, the Edge da Microsoft is usually associated with a bad experience. It's not too hard to find memes with jokes about the browser, mainly wanting to insinuate that it only serves to other browsers like Firefox. But the big question is: if Microsoft Edge is really so bad and doesn't please, why does Microsoft insist on it? 445x63

Low Popularity 6c1w6t

Currently the Edge it is used on computers by only 4.11% of Internet s around the world, growing by only 0.53% since January last year. already the Internet Explorer dropped 1.31% over the same period, which means most people who stop using Explorer don't go to Edge. O Windows 10, in turn, managed to grow by almost 10% usage worldwide, and oddly enough, its default browser didn't benefit from that growth.

This shows that the Microsoft Edge is really ignored and left out by most s. But why this rejection?

Microsoft Edge is not bad h1h5x

This phrase may seem surprising to many s, but these days the browser isn't even bad. It doesn't crash, the pages open quickly and pleasantly, and in general use it does the job like any other. Not to mention that in some areas it still works better than them. For example, it is the only browser that s drawings on the screen and with that it becomes a more interesting option for touch not Windows.

The problem of Edge it's not what he can do now, but what he couldn't do some time ago. For example, not being able to use extensions for a long time meant that s simply didn't want to even try to adapt to the new browser. Another problem is that it was only ed in Windows 10, which prevented him from becoming popular.

But now he's even available for android and iOS with an app that works just as well on Windows. Extensions are also now available for Edge, although they are still more limited than in other browsers.

But why is he so rejected? 2zi28

Overall, it is possible to see that currently the Edge works as well as others such as Firefox and Chrome, and although the intention is not to make s who are already used to these browsers change their option and move to Edge, this raises the question. If Windows 10's default browser is as good as the competition, why do people still prefer to go to the trouble of installing another one?

One of the reasons may be the logo. . The little e The browser still harks back to the days of Internet Explorer, and that alone is enough to turn s away from connecting their old and new browser experiences. even if the Edge be incredibly superior and better than IE.

Another reason is the dominance of Google on the Internet. When using Edge, any Google page will constantly send messages and prompts for the to Chrome. Even Google Earth doesn't work on Edge, and again it offers a warning to Chrome. Not to mention that many people currently use their smartphones as their main device to browse the internet and as Chrome is the Android standard, they end up taking it to computers as well for convenience and ease of access and history exchange.

So why does Microsoft insist and keep Edge? 6j5228

First the platform Windows 10 needs to have a default browser one way or another. However, he is not just there to fill that gap. THE Microsoft do you have plans for the Edge and we can notice this in small details. The company brings with the platform the novelties that need to be incorporated and demonstrated in its browser, that's what oo Edge makes it possible to paint and draw on the screen, the ease of touch and even the integration with the Cortana.

In addition, great features that are expected to come to the Windows 10 in the future also seem to depend on the Edge on a large scale. A great example of this is the for virtual reality, which comes with the idea of Windows Mixed Reality, able to integrate real and virtual environments. Another novelty is the use of “sets” for applications, that is, a way to open applications in Windows as if they were another browser window, separated by tabs, thus facilitating use and productivity.

And finally, there are applications for browsers, which allow s to open applications directly in their browsers without having to install them on the computer. In general, Microsoft has plans to bring improvements to its new platform, and for that it depends on its default browser to keep its apps up and running, and who knows, that will make it popular when they actually go public.

Something better than just “not bad” 582fs

Microsoft's big challenge is to get people to really like their browser. While it's not bad, you would expect a company that owns its own operating system for computers, has money and is known for creating so much software to be able to bring a browser that is better than the competition. Mostly one they've just rebuilt from practically scratch.
