- In this overview video, find out whether you should switch to Microsoft Edge. Edge has been innovating with many unique features that you won't find on any other browser. You can use the immersive reader to focus on the content that you care about. Edit & annotate PDFs using text, drawing, or highlighting. Create collections to help you plan a vacation, come up with gift ideas, or work effectively on a project. These are just a few of the features that we look at today. I've been a long time Chrome user and recently switched to Edge.

I already switched to Edge 5 months ago, and never look back. Lots of amazing features that suits to my needs. I really love the tab sleep feature :)
haha for me it was a WHOLE YEAR and i do not regret it one bit
@@Scrappy-TH-cam Think it was 2019 when I switched.
And I love vertical tab
Chrome is for everything entertainment for me.
Edge is my go to for work, school and when I am gaming and I have a school 365 subscription so its a no brainer
I never did the full switch but I use them both on a daily basis.
Most of the time when I want to download something, chrome usually has a low download speed and downloads that are less than 100MB say they will take 1 day and when I take that same link into Edge, it download at almost max speed
opera gx always had it
If you work in a Microsoft / Office 365 environment, Edge really beats all other browsers. The added functionality for business intern searches etc is really great.
What do you mean by business intern searches? I don't quite understand
@@aliasuser_ maybe he is talking about enterprise search feature of Bing I am not sure
@@aliasuser_ He probably meant internal search. Edge's search is very tied in with Bing, which is tied in with Sharepoint, OneDrive and also on. Yeah, because I stumbled onto a coworker's private file that way... With Edge and 365 (and also Windows), none of your file is private by default, most settings are very loosely focused on convenience instead of privacy.
@@_w_w_ damn... Gonna take my files from onedrive then 🤣
If users cannot access Edge because the browser refuses to expand and stays as a small window, then they are unable to use Edge as a Microsoft / Office 365 environment. They should use another fully functional browser.
As a teacher, I find Edge to be most suitable for me, especially the immersive reader tool. It's so awesome. I think Microsoft can win the hearts of many users with this tool.
If I was a techer I would tell my students never to use a browser they cannot access. If a student asked me what this means, I would point out at the fact that browsers which open up in small windows and refuse to expand are dead search engines. Dead search engines, exams and assignments should not be recommended as tools for education.
@Kepa kepa Nowadays, the 90% you study at school is useless.
teacher can you help me solve 3x+1
@Kepa kepa "you will never have a calculator when you need it" Phone: So I'm useless?
@@vortiez. x=-1/3 (assuming 3x+1=0)
Using Edge for a year now and I must admit the fact, it's better than Chrome in almost every aspect for me. I don't even think about switching browsers now.
I live in Hyderabad. I will definitely try your cookies.
Your lucky. I'm in Aligarh U.P.
What do u mean
Same
Oh dude.
@Thiz is Sam ade raa
I have been a long-time Chrome user but switched to Edge two months ago and I love it. It has left Chrome in the dust in my opinion. Thanks for the additional features that I was not aware of.
same
Switch to brave much faster and safer
@@mexreax4493 nah brave kinda cringe i used it for like 6 months
me too
@@mexreax4493 you look like one of these brave ads saying that chrome is not relevant anymore, but instead of chrome, it's edge
Thanks, Kevin! I mostly use Edge now in the workplace. The Read Aloud function helps me listen to articles while get a screen time break.
I started using edge in 2019 when the new version came out. I waited until then because the earlier version didn't support the Dark Reader plugin I liked. The fact that it was based on Chromium was even more enticing and I liked the added features that it provided such as the snipping tool.
Been using Edge for almost 3 years for all my work stuff (use Chrome for personal stuff). It really is great, and I love the vertical tabs! Collections are pretty good, but I don't use them all that much.
Same for me Personal Chrome vs Business Edge
I just switched to Edge weeks ago after I found the Android version to be impressive as well. I need browser settings and bookmarks to sync across multiple platform like Windows and my Android device and I say both the Windows and Android Edge improved a a lot. Will stick to it until Chrome managed to convince me to switch back again.
The Edge store has extensions that are not in the Chrome store, for example "Universal Bypass". Once you've been using Edge for a while, going back to Google Chrome is like going back to Internet Explorer 😂
I have been using edge ever since windows came out with edge, I was sad to see the old edge go, because it was so light on both the CPU and RAM, especially coming from a dual core 4 gb ram system. Even after having a beast of a PC, i still use edge because once again it just suits my needs.
I switched to Edge in 2020 and so far I am happy with the switch plus I am getting Microsoft Reward Points.
Good to know Edge so much like this. Edge is my long time browser and it is the best. It also works fine on poor internet connection. I'm a little disappointed that Microsoft Edge has given up its support for offline immersive reader and EPUB reading. 👍
Thanks Kevin! I love the video and especially the transitions. One thing though is that a lot of the features you specified in this video are actually also available in chrome but edge just makes it easier to access.
Kevin has a convincing way to make anything he talks about seem exciting. I am now looking forward to using Edge and all these great features.
Thank you! I've been using Edge for quite a while but I'm surprised there are still some features I didn't know about
I also had used Chrome for years and about a year or so ago I tried Edge due to the many revies I read then about the improvements made to it by Microsoft. They were right, ...is has vastly improved and I use it much more than I ever did before.
I've used Firefox forever. Just switched to Edge a couple weeks ago to give it a try. Impressive. I especially like vertical tabs. As well, I don't get the constant warnings about my browser using a lot of resources.
Thanks for this helpful and informative video.
I switched to Microsoft Edge Oct last year, it has been the best experience I was looking for, all those features you mentioned became one of my favorite features of all times. Thanks for recognizing the amazing features done by Microsoft and sharing with us, Kevin.
I am considering switching to Roxy Tube. Edge is / was a fun browser until one day I woke up finding out the window will stay small from now on and forth with unless changes are made so its windows can be expanded again.
@@Yatukih_001 Roxy Tube has nothing to do with this, and also roxy tube is just a video platform filled with conspiratorial and crazed lunatics.
@@Yatukih_001 isn't that how it's supposed to be?
I've been using Edge since the start but you highlighted several features I didn't know about. Thanks Kevin. I particularly found the extra tips about Collections very useful : my use of it was very one dimensional - not any more!
I've been edging since the legacy version. Loved the epub support. and new edge has great pdf annotations. Annotates pdf better than Adobe Acrobat!
I used ms edge browser from my old to new laptop. What I liked the most in this browser is that I can bookmark a lot of sites and show them in an icon. It loads faster too. It's a good browser for me.
I discovered so many new features with this video, thank you! My fav is the Edge Shopping feature :)
Just switched from Firefox recently and my god Edge has been wonderful for me, love it. So many more features that I actually use and all the benefits of Chromium.
I have been back and forth between Chrome and Edge for while. My favorite setup is to log in to all my work accounts (Office, Sharepoint, etc.) on Edge then my personal Google stuff (Gmail, TH-cam, etc.) and also my personal Microsoft accounts in Chrome. This allows me to compartmentalize my flows and have multiple accounts active of OneDrive and Outlook without any login conflicts.
What you're doing is exactly what multiple profiles are made for. Though I understand if it's easier to differentiate between two apps. Still, if you start missing some of Edge's features, you _can_ use a work and a personal profile easily
Gmail images doesn't display correctly in Outlook.
As a student I love Edge. The sidebar and collections features are especially useful. Going to chrome feels like going back a decade in time.
I have to say... I am BLOWN AWAY by Edge's functionality when it comes to its built-in educational tools and the crazy text to speech. This is the BEST I have heard, sounding absolutely natural.
Nice video. I use both Edge and Chrome depending on what I am working on and for whom. The one feature that was mentioned in this video that is the most helpful, in my situation, Is the ability to have multiple profiles. This had made it easier to log into multiple instances of Microsoft accounts (separate user ID and Password scenario).
I always try to use the in built apps of my devices. So I have been using Edge for a long time now. Back when it originally launched it didn't have extension support so it was a no no for me but when it got extensions I started using it. It was okay for quite some time but the performance became really bad overtime. After the chromium version launched I switched to it after a few months and am happily using it since. I miss the quick set tab aside feature but the performance it hugely improved over the last engine. Some new feature needs to be improved but I think that will happen overtime as they always take feedback on those features.
You have such a great sense of humor. I've used Chrome as my Search Engine but after watching this I have no hesitation to switch to Edge. I am stunned with it's new features. WOW is the WORD. 😱😨
Google After Watching this : Goodbye Kevin, we will miss you a lot. Hopefully you continue making TH-cam Videos.😥
Microsoft after watching this : Welcome Kevin, finally you are starting to appreciate our hard work. 😏
Edge is horrible when it comes to privacy... I am shocked how bad it has gotten.
@@_w_w_ true
I have been using edge and It's good for me and some of the new features you mentioned on your videos I just discover now. Wow. Thanks
Great overview, been using Edge for a while, familiar with some of the features, you've filled in the gaps. Thanks
After so many years with Chrome, then Brave, 8months now that I'm on Edge and even in Macos, I use Edge.
One of the main reason is its synchronization across all my devices and platforms.
Thanks Kevin for the new features I discovered with you today
Thank you so much for your Efforts.
We learn a lot from your Contents.
I switched after seeing you video. It has been awesome so far. I don't feel like I'm missing anything I was using on Chrome.
I have been using Edge for quite some time now and I've been loving it! Thank you for this amazing video, I didn't know some of these features even exist! Haha!
I prefer Brave because it offers more privacy and a free ad-blocker but Edge's features are also compelling.
Same
Hands down Brave is the best choice. Kevin is behind the curve. Edge was great when it first went Chromium, but now it's worse than Chrome when it comes to privacy. I am shocked how many useless features get added in an effort to get our data...
@@_w_w_ I also prefer Brave's UI over other browsers but thats just my opinion.
Im sung brave browser too
@@RishiPriyan Agreed. Edge's menu design is so convoluted...
Made the switch last month and has been a GREAT decision. The bouncing animations are criminally underrated. Make the browsing experience feel much more fluid.
Edge is the best browser. Period.
@@paddymurphy-oconnor8255 well it is better compared to Chrome, Opera and Yandex privacy wise
Watching this while using Edge. vertical tabs and group tab is the best for me!
I tried the organization search on our corporate site (last tip). Mind blown-so much easier than other methods. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I moved from Google to MS about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Edge and Onedrive in particular stand out as examples of how far MS has come from being a joke to being a real contender in this space. I absolutely love Edge and all its features, as well as how much MS continues to improve it.
I've been using both Edge and Chrom. Your excellent presentation convinced me to switch completely to Edge, especially after you showed us that we can transfer everything from Chrom.
Question: I'm using Office 365. I'm not a student nor a teacher. How can enjoy all Microsoft features?
Thanks, KEVIN, for your explanation using edge. I will try to use it now thru your explanation how to install it. I am also a blogger in CA and one of
your subscriber long time ago.
Made the switch last year to Microsft Edge as my primary browser and never used Google Chrome so far. Your videos give good insights about the features and the way you show them it relates to everyday issues.
The vertical tabs and PDF editing are pretty awesome. I might give it a shot.
Very informative, I learned about a number of features that were completely new to me. I've been using Edge now for about five months, and I'm happy with it. I might even say I'd recommend it over Chrome, but either browser seems quite good. For work I'm using a mostly Microsoft web-based suite, so I think that tips the scales towards Edge. Maybe a future episode you could evaluate whether the Microsoft suite performs better on Edge versus Chrome.
Your vids are high quality in content and knowledge; You've now got me as a subscriber.
I have always used chrome and never thought about switching until...now! Thanks for another informative video.
I am using edge for 2 years and it is really useful for me, i started to use it because Chrome consumes ram so much, then i started to use edge is a great solution.
I love edges, especially the vertical tabs. I have no understanding to the ones who hate it.
I like to think people have their favourites based on the feature mix that works for them.
For me the bummer was not being able to select google search instead of MS search on a new tab. I use Vivaldi and love that. I don't hate edge, I just don't like their ways of insisting on their products. So for me - I'm out for now!
The Edge read aloud has been very helpful while I've been working on my MBA. The voices sound way more natural than eBook readers.
started using edge and I really like it. My favorite thing is the youtube 4K extension that makes all youtube videos to default to 4K. it's really nice not having to select 4K on some videos
I've used Edge on and off until recently when I switched to Win 11. Now I use it full time. It works well with Office 365. I've also used it in Linux, it's in beta but very stable imo. I also use Edge on my Android phone so all my favorites are available.
@Leonard-Orlando Jonathan Menzel I use wsl 2 and I use PowerShell on fedora Linux
I use Opera GX as it's the most performance-based browser currently available, but it's good to know that Edge is going to be my runner-up from now on
Bruh it's Chinese and idk why it sucks a lot of internet...
@@beautifulengland619 LOL Opera GX is not chinese its Norweigan lol. China olnly bought shares from Opera GX.
@@GhostShuriken True, but still, China (specifically A Chinese company) still has some shares of the company so it isn't exactly 100% guaranteed that there's no spyware (or ever will be), even if the browser itself is safe against malicious attacks.
most useful for me is opera and edge XD
brave is a good runner up
Having multiple profiles is actually something that could get me to switch over. As someone who runs many social media accounts / brands, this will be game changing.
Kevin thanks alot for all special features, I'm going to give Edge a try, I'm already liking all the new features.
Wow, I started off this video pretty skeptical but some of the features you showed off I have already been doing on chrome through far more sloppy browser extensions. I still don't think I'm going to switch but these were all good to know!
Just in case you decide to switch don't worry about your data you can import all your browser data including extensions with one click from Chrome :)
@@metinhesenov Don't worry, Edge will suck those data when you go through it's repeated setup process. Microsoft is nuts that every update, which occurs every week weeks, would make you re-run part of the setup. It acts like a tutorial but really is the window where it rests all the privacy settings back to being in an activated state.
@@_w_w_ okay hater just stop crying.
@@metinhesenov So mature of you...
@@metinhesenov No, he's right. Microsoft is known to do stuff like this. Also, Edge is the only browser that does not support E2EE for syncing. This is a deal breaker for me.
I for sure want to try edge now so much features and it seems far better than chrome.
Hello Kevin! I'm a silent viewer/subscriber here. Thank you for this great video! I've been using Edge but only to read news from MSN which pops up whenever I tick on it in the taskbar. But after watching your video, I think I'm gonna try to use it, especially with my work from home. I can see that it's going to be more useful with all the tools and features you've shown here. Thank you so much! 👍😉
Based on this presentation, I'm going try Edge again. Also, lt seems to me that you're voice quality is so much better than before, when it sounded like it was at a higher pitch.
I use Edge as my primary browser and Firefox as my second browser. Edge performance is very good and it's features are useful. Everyone should give it a try.
I'm currently using Firefox and love every second of it.
I just customised the Edge with squarepage and it looks awesome.
You always do great work. You are my first resource for Microsoft products! Thanks
I uninstalled Chrome two years back. I never feel that I miss some features of chrome. Edge is faster than chrome and it has lots of features. Also, Edge is less RAM hunger than Chrome. I Love Edge browser.
Good afternoon Kevin.
My laptop just can't run that fast, it takes 10 minutes to start an application.
Can you suggest something or make video on increasing speed and running it smoothly because it becomes irritating when we have any important work to do.
Plz tell 🙏
Replace its RAM and replace the hard drive (if it has one) for an SSD drive.
That should properly help. :)
Open the bottom cover, clean the dust, add some thermal paste on the cpu, install ssd, more ram. Transfer os to the ssd.
Disable startup programmes, disable telemetry, disable superfetch(sysmain) after installing ssd.
You are good to go.
For increasing laptop speed
It depends on you
Minimum ram should be 8gb
And still your laptop is hangin
Just remove cd loader and replace it with SSD
As a developer perspective there are also ton of new features on their developers tab
Great... been using Edge for some time and like it but you showed me features I did not know
I have been a long-time Chrome user but switched to Edge two months ago and I love it. One thing I noticed is that in Edge there are much better extensions than Chrome. I Recommended you to use Edge
The overall power consumption of Chrome being consistently significantly higher than Edge clearly speaks for Edge.
Not true anymore... It was so about 3 years ago.
I switched to edge yesterday and i'm loving it
Been using edge for almost a year. It’s awesome!
I made the switch a few years ago when they made the update to Chromium based. I honestly love it. It really feels faster. I have a pretty beefy computer with an 8-core processor, 32gb of ram and a RTX 3080 but I still feel it's faster than Chrome overall. I actually use the read aloud feature a lot especially with longer articles. It allows me to multitask while still consuming the article. Great tips!
I use Firefox as my number 1, Go To browser.
I also used to have Chrome installed, but Google becomes more and more icky.
I now prefer Edge as a secondary browser, but that is not saying much, because Firefox is active almost all the time, but Edge perhaps once or twice per day.
if you've got windows, you have 2 browsers and it is kinda dumb to install a third while you cannot install microsoft edge. and of course edge is better.
Packed full of very useful content. Up to now, have been using mostly Chrome. But will certainly check out all these Edge features.
I have been using Edge for a few months now. I really like it. A couple things it really needs are is "apps" to sync between machines and multiple profile sync with one Microsoft account.
I switch to Edge since I used Windows 11. It's has so many useful features than Chrome. One of my fav is vertical tab. Thanks MS. I do research a lot and frustrated that bunch of tab on Chrome
safari is decent but edge Firefox are much better than safari in features and also are cross platform

I used Edge every day before I saw this for work and I did not realize a lot of these features - I am going to try to use edge all the time now.
Thanks for this great information about Edge. I have switched to Edge for good a long time now, since it was released. Lot of the smart functions you hint, I didn´t new. :)
I love Edge, I use it all the time it is much better then chrome!
I love edge, but I love brave more
First
Amazing
I already switched to Edge since yesterday and liked it very much.
Have been using Edge for a while. Thanks for showing us these features Kevin. I like your dry humour😂
Thanks, Kevin! Very helpful, I'll be using edge more!
Hi this is great, now i am plaining to use edge. Very nice and informative video. thanks
maqsood
thanks! another great video. Been wondering about edge and I DO use a lot of tabs and groups in Chrome and you're right, it definitely takes such huge resources to leave it up there all day. Thanks, I think I will give it a try!
Collections feature is the one I used frequently for my school projects.
After years using Chrome, this video gave me the push needed to change to Edge. Thanks 👍🏼
An Edge switcher for 2 months now! Really a game changer.
I came across your video randomly and was astonished at all the wonderful features which edge has. As a student, this will be greatly beneficial to me and I might switch to it. 8.16 left me astounded since Hyderabad is where I live, as if I was destined to come across your video 😂
Using Edge from, idk, the last year or two and it's AMAZING!!!
I'm from Hyderabad! Geat to hear My city name from ur voice 🙂.
I have been following ur channel from past 6 months,
On this I've learned many more about Microsoft tools.
a big thank to kevin....
I’m considering trying Edge. Thanks for this thorough video 😊
been using Edge for about 2 years now, and mostly of these features were unknown to me...
made me fall in love with the browser all over again
It's an amazing vedio. 👏 I have switched on edge since last two years.
Fantastic video...I will certainly start using Edge and see how it goes! Keep'em coming Kevin!
You have such a perfect voice for tutorials 🤩
I think you are right Kevin! I used to be a big fan of Chrome but I should test-drive Edge now. There are so many improvements happening. Thank you very much for the video!
Already using! Great video!!
