If you’re still not sold on Microsoft Edge for Windows 11, here are six reasons that might make you feel otherwise.
1. Microsoft Edge Has Exceptional Performance
Microsoft Edge is seriously fast, and it even runs on the same open-source Chromium engine as Google Chrome. Thanks to some great performance updates, Microsoft Edge is one of the fastest (if not the fastest) browsers you can have on Windows 11.
Our comparison of Chrome vs. Edge proved that Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have almost identical performances. In the WebXPRT 3 browser performance test, Microsoft Edge scored an exceptional 104.
Even on Windows 10, Microsoft claimed that Edge 91 was the best-performing web browser.
2. Microsoft Edge Is a Lightweight Browser
Browsers that tend to hog a large chunk of RAM can be pretty frustrating, especially if you’re already running a system with less RAM. Not only does Microsoft Edge perform as well as other web browsers, but it also consumes less RAM in comparison.
This frees up memory that you can utilize for other programs or more tabs while enjoying the smooth performance of a highly functional Windows 11 browser.
3. You Can Use Edge to Save Money Online
Microsoft Edge automatically applies coupons on compatible websites, so you don’t need to install a dedicated extension to get the best online deal. There’s also a price comparison tool that will tell you which online store has the best price for a particular product.
Edge also offers a price tracking feature that notifies users of price changes of products they may have recently viewed. You can even quickly see customer ratings and expert product reviews to help you make the best purchase decision
4. It Has a Dedicated Efficiency Mode
Web browsers can drain your laptop’s battery life significantly, which can seriously reduce your productivity if you’re working on the go. Efficiency mode in Microsoft Edge extends the battery life of your PC by minimizing the consumption of system resources.
You can easily enable Microsoft Edge’s efficiency mode on Windows 11 and optimize performance.
5. Edge Uses Better Tab Management
If you’re someone who prefers working in multiple tabs open simultaneously, then you’re going to love how easy it is to manage tabs in Microsoft Edge. It’s pretty evident that well-managed tabs help declutter your workspace and make you more productive.
Edge on Windows 11 allows users to arrange tabs in color-coded groups, stack tabs vertically, and even pin important tabs. That’s not all; you can even quickly switch tabs within Microsoft Edge by using Alt + Tab. Specifically, when working with many tabs, you can make use of the vertical tabs option to see your tabs in an organized manner.
6. Save Webpages in Collections
The internet is filled with web clipping extensions aimed to help organize web research. Microsoft Edge has a built-in web clipping tool called Collections that makes it super simple to save web pages. You can save images, text, or entire web pages for later use straight-through Microsoft Edge.
Your collections are synced between your devices, keeping you organized and productive. You can even create multiple groups to save different types of content as per your need. Collections also have a citation feature that offers Chicago, Harvard, APA, and other formats.
Microsoft Edge Makes Windows 11 Better
Windows 11 offers its users plenty of nifty new features, and Microsoft Edge is at the forefront. There are plenty of reasons to use Microsoft Edge as its fast, convenient, lightweight, and functional.
