No issues with searching for websites. Quick to display websites and provides a secure search. Can be used on phone and computer and can sync my data. > > **Cons**: The default search engine is normally Bing/ yahoo which would not be by top choice compared with google search. However this can be changed in default settings to your favoured search engine so it is not a big issue. > > Happy with my overall experience. Allows me to do my research online and conduct any downloads I require. ----- ### "Edge has lots of features but not sure about privacy" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *18 August 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Edge is better at smooth scrolling, vertical tabs, PDFs, text to speech, ram usage, support for streaming, secruity > > **Cons**: It can be bloated out of the box and privacy wise, not great, no idea what Microsoft collects for data ----- ### "Microsoft Edge: A Tool for PDF Assignments" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use many PDF files in my AP history courses, and I needed a way for students to type on the PDFs. Microsoft Edge has a textbox feature that allows students to do so. > > **Cons**: Unlike other products in the Microsoft suite, there is no auto-save feature. Oftentimes, students will submit an incomplete assignment because they forgot to hit the save button one last time. > > I love using Microsoft Edge\! It is easy for my students to download PDFs from the LMS and then resubmit them after they've completed the work using Microsoft Edge. ----- ### "Simply Can't Compete" — 1.0/5 > **Percival** | *10 July 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like that it offers basic customization, and that it has Bing built in as the default browser, making earning Microsoft Points easier and streamlined. The more modern UI is also appealing. > > **Cons**: It is Internet Explorer dressed up in a tuxedo; it has never and will never have the customization, ease of use, add-on's, security features or the low impact on my PC performance while doing other things that many other browsers are capable of. > > Not something I would recommend to anyone under the age of 45 - younger users will be unimpressed with the lack of versatility. This browser is fine for office work or basic tasks but this is not the application for gamers or streamers. My personal take-away from Edge was that it simply is not meant for me. ----- ### "Microsoft Edge is my work browser of choice" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *7 August 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Edge is fast and secure, but its best feature is its low memory use. At work I have anywhere between 3-15 tabs open at any given time. On other browsers, this might slow my whole computer down. But on Edge, I never notice a drop in performance. That’s a big deal for me. > > **Cons**: When I first switched over to Edge I thought the interface was too crowded with shopping, news, promotions, and other prompts. Over time I customized my settings and this is no longer an issue. > > Microsoft Edge is my browser of choice at work. It’s fast, secure, and performs great no matter how many tabs I have open. When I first started using it I found the interface to be a bit overwhelming, but that was quickly resolved. I would definitely recommend Microsoft Edge. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1012106/microsoft-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1012106/microsoft-edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
