The tab management on the software is easy to use, it has fair/minimal ram usage, extensions are easy to navigate and the overall learning curve isn't too steep. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I don't have much I don't like about Edge. One note is that it seems some online platforms often prefer a non-Edge browser if you are using their platform. That can be a bit annoying to switch back and forth. > > Overall, I am very impressed. Microsoft Edge is a core part of how I function well at work in my day to day. ----- ### "Microsoft Edge Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jessieah** | *28 May 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: As with any internet app, the no restrictions on how many tabs are opened. I use this to be productive on the daily basis. One thing I love the most is that when or if the who screen closes out or has an update, it always provides me with options to restore the previous tabs...all of them, and it's amazing\! > > **Cons**: Nothing out of the blue, honestly it is similar to google, but probably still does not provide the amount of security google might. > > Better to understand the differences between this and the actual Google app, where the search engine is. I can see there are basic use features on this interface but overall doesn't provide solid reliability. ----- ### "The Emotionally Needy Browser" — 1.0/5 > **Rob** | *20 March 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much that I love here. I'm sure this is a fine product - it's just that the other products that I use have been in use for a while and I just prefer them. > > **Cons**: Due to its incessant attempts to become my default browser, MS Edge feels like that kid who tries to make everyone come to their birthday party -- even if they don't really want to go. > > It's just not something that I'm really excited about. I use it, but only rarely, and only when I'm "forced" into it for some reason. ----- ### "Fast and Well Integrated Browser" — 4.0/5 > **Georges Attino** | *18 June 2026* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Edge has become much better than before. It is fast, uses fewer resources than some browsers, and integrates well with Windows. > > **Cons**: But well... it still feels quite "forced" by Microsoft, which can be annoying. There are also quite a few suggestions or options enabled by default that people did not necessarily ask for. And in terms of popularity, many people still prefer Chrome, so it is sometimes less familiar to use. ----- ### "Best Broweser for smooth and crashfree expereince" — 4.0/5 > **Nischal** | *28 May 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Edge is extremely fast and reliable. It handles multiple tabs seamlessly without lagging, making browsing a smooth experience. It’s well-optimized and rarely crashes. > > **Cons**: The design feels a bit outdated. While functional, it lacks a modern, user-friendly interface that could enhance the overall experience. More design polish is needed for a better look. > > My experience with Microsoft Edge has been great. It’s fast, smooth, and stable, even with many tabs open. However, the design could use improvements to match its great performance. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/399508/microsoft-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/399508/microsoft-edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
