The company has added more than a few unique features. Despite everything, I still use it on my PC, Android phone, and iPhone-though that may not last much longer.Įdge is more than just Chrome with Microsoft’s name slapped on it. It’s generally a good browser and a viable competitor to Chrome. To wrap up, I should mention that Edge does have some good ideas. None of these features are actually for browsing the web. While some of the features Microsoft has added are more useful than others- like price tracking-it’s all a bit much for a browser.
This was annoyingly enabled by default in Edge 95. Essentially, it searches the web for similar images. Any time you hover your mouse over an image on a website, you’ll see a little icon to perform a Bing Visual Search. One of the most recent additions is a visual search feature. A potentially useful idea, but probably not what you expect from your browser. When you checkout at some online retailers, you may see a pop-up with coupons and reviews. There are plenty of great places to go for these reviews, but Microsoft wants you to see them in Edge. Reviews are a great way to learn about a product before you buy it. The actual games are played on a webpage, not in the browser. A small icon appears in the toolbar-if you enable it-that opens a sidebar with games like Solitaire, Bubble, Sudoku, and more. Remember playing games on MSN? Well, you can play those games in Edge. Microsoft partnered with Zip for this feature, and it’s probably taking a cut from the transactions. If you make a purchase between $35 to $1,000, an option to “buy now, pay later” will appear in the browser.
