Edge is Microsoft's attempt to stay relevant after all the years of pain and heartache that came from Internet Explorer.

Their large investment into OpenAI has enabled them to pull in some AI into the browser (branded as Copilot), though it's more just a wrapper for ChatGPT with various pre-built functions.

We believe there's better options on the market, even if you're looking for some AI baked into your browser.

Web Browsers

Microsoft's browser, pushing heavily in AI with their deep OpenAI partnership—still the second coming of Internet Explorer.

Edge is Microsoft's attempt to stay relevant after all the years of pain and heartache that came from Internet Explorer.

Their large investment into OpenAI has enabled them to pull in some AI into the browser (branded as Copilot), though it's more just a wrapper for ChatGPT with various pre-built functions.

Business Model

While Edge is built on Chromium (like many of the best browsers on the makes), they are one of the only browsers (aside from Arc) that have managed to exist without taking that sweet sweet money from Google.

Edge makes money by promoting their many Microsoft products, making them work more seamlessly in the browser where possible.

Final Verdict

While Microsoft has tried so hard to get back the marketshare they once had and have since lost, Edge still feels a bit dated in their UI/UX, and their unique functionality isn't all that great unless you're an avid Microsoft 365 user.

That said, if you're on this site and doing software research, you're more likely using Google Workspace and Gmail, and there are much better browser options on the market, even if you're a Windows user, as even Arc is now on Windows.
