Every day, there are more browsers in the market: Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Brave Browser… But there’s one in particular that we’ve all grown fond of after so many years with it: Microsoft Internet Explorer. It stopped receiving support a while ago, but its spiritual successor, Microsoft Edge, has carried on its legacy with much smoother performance, aiming to stay one step ahead of its competition.
This achievement hasn’t come about by chance. Like many other browsers, Microsoft Edge has to fight for its market share, and apart from providing fast and efficient service, it has been known for striving to include a few innovations in each of its major updates that progressively enhance the quality of life for its users and offer them a gradually more pleasant experience.
Edge for Business, the major novelty
To cater to the needs of the numerous professionals using its browser, Microsoft has included in its 116th edition (the latest stable version) an option that, in their own words, is a tool that “allows organizations to maximize their productivity and security, and provides the ability to separate work from personal searches with an automatic switch between the personal and professional browser windows.” Among other things, it adds a small briefcase icon to identify the professional window and incorporates an identification system that will provide Edge for Business capabilities to anyone who logs in through their Azure account (currently known as Entra ID).
In addition to this, there’s a significant user experience enhancement: the Edge sidebar, which has always proven highly useful, can now be pinned to the Windows 10 desktop by simply clicking the “unpin” button. This way, the sidebar will be available at any time without the need to keep the browser open. Considering that this sidebar can be customized with the user’s desired utilities, it becomes an even more powerful tool.
These are not the only novelties that Microsoft Edge brings, but they are certainly the most interesting ones and, undoubtedly, the ones we will appreciate the most in our daily lives.
