Microsoft Edge is Microsoft's Chromium-based web browser, built into Windows 10 and Windows 11. It combines Chrome compatibility with deep Microsoft 365 integration.
Key Features
- Chromium engine with full compatibility with Chrome extensions
- Integration with Microsoft 365 for document preview and PDF annotation
- IE Mode for legacy intranet applications requiring Internet Explorer
- Collections for organizing research
- Built-in PDF reader and editor
- Enterprise management via Group Policy and Microsoft Intune
Enterprise Use
Edge is the default browser in Windows 11 environments and is preferred in Microsoft-centric organizations. IE Mode is critical for organizations with legacy web applications that require Internet Explorer. IT administrators manage Edge via Group Policy or Intune policies.
Tips
- Use IE Mode for internal applications that still require Internet Explorer compatibility.
- Configure the new tab page to show organizational news via SharePoint integration.
- Deploy Edge update policies to control the update cadence.
