In one of the previous articles, we gave you three reasons that make Google Chrome a better web browser than Microsoft Edge. So, granted, Google Chrome has long been the dominant web browser, holding over 65% of the market share. However, Microsoft Edge has also been steadily gaining ground in recent years, and it's now a viable alternative to Chrome. Having said that, here are three reasons why Microsoft Edge is better than Google Chrome:

1. Enhanced Privacy and Security
Microsoft Edge is known for its strong privacy and security features. By default, Edge blocks third-party trackers and cookies, which helps to protect your privacy and prevent your data from being collected by advertisers. Edge also has a built-in tracker prevention feature that can be customised to your liking.
In addition, Edge has several security features that help to protect you from online threats including, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, a feature which helps block phishing and malware websites. There’s InPrivate browsing which prevents your browsing history, cookies, and temporary files from being saved on your computer. There’s also a Site Isolation feature which isolates each website you visit in its process, which further helps to prevent malicious websites from accessing your other data.
2. Streamlined User Experience
Microsoft Edge offers several features that make it a more user-friendly browser than Chrome. These features include vertical tabs that allow you to view your tabs vertically, which can help you save space on your screen. There are Collections, a feature that allows you to save and organise web pages, images, and text. There’s a Reading mode which removes distractions from web pages so that you can focus on the content. Edge also has some extensions that can be used to customise the browser including, Microsoft Translator, Evernote Web Clipper, Grammarly and more.
3. Seamless Integration with Windows
Just like we mentioned, Chrome’s tight integration with Google’s digital ecosystem. Similarly, the Microsoft Edge browser also has its perks when it comes to integration with Windows. So, Edge is the default browser for Windows 10 and 11, and it is tightly integrated with the operating system. This integration allows you to do things like, sign in to websites using your Windows credentials, access your Microsoft Edge browsing history and favourites from any Windows device, and use Cortana to control Edge hands-free.
In addition, Edge can take advantage of several Windows features, such as Windows Defender Application Guard, which isolates Edge from other applications on your computer. There’s Windows Hello, which lets you sign in to Edge using your fingerprint or facial recognition. There’s Microsoft Ink, which allows you to take notes and annotate web pages using your finger or stylus.
