I've not had the new Microsoft Edge crash out on me, and I've not noticed it struggle to render webpages like YouTube. In fact, the web browsing experience is now identical to Chrome thanks to the fact that the new Microsoft Edge is built on the same open-source Chromium project that Google Chrome uses. Browsing the web using the new Microsoft Edge is fast, fluid, and just works. Gone are the days of old Edge not being compatible, or rendering webpages poorly. Corners are a little more squared off, and the settings area is a fair bit different too.īrowsing websites is a total breeze. That said, there are a few minor differences in the UI that align the browser more with Microsoft's own design language. Users don't like change, so having the new Edge be almost a carbon-copy of Google Chrome means Chrome users won't be as overwhelmed with switching to the new Edge. If you're a Google Chrome user coming over to the new Microsoft Edge, you'll find all your imported data in the exact same places they would be in Chrome. Microsoft wants to make switching from other browsers to the new Microsoft Edge as painless as possible, and that includes making the new Edge look like every other browser out there.
The UI along the top of the browser is very similar to Google Chrome, and this is by design. But if you like seeing the news, or like seeing a new image every day, those are options for you to configure. I keep this off, as I prefer a more minimalist appearance. You can also turn on or off a daily wallpaper that is pulled in from Bing, which gives your new tab page a little bit of flare. If you don't want to see any news articles, then you can turn it off entirely. I know a lot of people don't like being bombarded with information on their new tab page, so this is something that is fully customizable. The new tab page will automatically list your most visited websites, and allow you to pin sites manually as well.īelow that, you can choose to have MSN display a grid of news articles from the last 24 hours, and you can even customize which topics show up here. By default, the browser is set to search the web with Bing, but users can change this in settings if they wish.
Once you're all set up, the first thing you'll notice is the new tab page, which has been carried over from the old Microsoft Edge and revamped with more customization features. If that's the case, then I recommend waiting for all the sync settings to come online before you give the new Edge a try. I'm personally not too bothered, but I know not being able to sync history across devices might be a deal-breaker for some. Microsoft does say that these additional sync settings will light up eventually, but there's no ETA for this.

This also means that the new Microsoft Edge doesn't support Windows 10's own Timeline feature. This means if you're attempting to switch to the new Edge on multiple devices, you won't be able to view cross-device history or tabs open on other devices. Syncing browser data across devices uses your Microsoft Account, but history and open tabs don't yet sync. Luckily, the new Microsoft Edge supports all the same extensions as Google Chrome, so you won't be without any of your favorite extensions.

Users will have to manually download all their extensions again when moving to the new Edge. One thing that doesn't port over from the old Microsoft Edge is extensions.
