what is microsoft edge?
Part of the Personal computing glossary: Microsoft Edge is the browser created for Windows 10; Edge replaces Internet Explorer (IE), the browser that debuted with Windows 95 and was a part of Windows operating systems for the following two decades. Edge is a smaller, more streamlined browser built on Web standards and designed for Web services. Microsoft currently has no plans to bring Edge to earlier versions of Windows or provide versions for any non-Windows operating systems. Edge has trimmed back the bloat that most modern browsers, including IE, had; it has also dropped Active-X support.
