Unfortunately, these reasons are not enough … and their validity is a little questionable.īut for better or worse, we will fire up either IE or Edge just once, to download our favourite browser. In the battle for market share, Microsoft has pushed Edge upon the users of Windows 10 by giving it default placement, by captioning it as the “recommended” candidate, by resetting defaults occasionally after updates to favour it and by putting pop-ups that remind users that performance and battery life is “better” under Edge. They’re not even my favourite and for a number of good reasons.

It’s no big secret that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and it’s closely related cousin, Edge, are not the world’s favourite browsers.
