I have not needed customer service. It seems easy to use. Haven't run into any issues with tabs, or extensions. Seems to not take up too much ram. > > **Cons**: I don't like bing, and it defaults to bing. That's really it, otherwise so far, even though i would usually use chrome for web browsing, my new job uses Microsoft. > > So far so good. Haven't run into any major issues. I think it crashed once. But i'm not sure that was the fault of Edge. ----- ### "Fast efficient reliable web browser" — 4.0/5 > **niamh** | *10 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good search engine. No issues with searching for websites. Quick to display websites and provides a secure search. Can be used on phone and computer and can sync my data. > > **Cons**: The default search engine is normally Bing/ yahoo which would not be by top choice compared with google search. However this can be changed in default settings to your favoured search engine so it is not a big issue. > > Happy with my overall experience. Allows me to do my research online and conduct any downloads I require. ----- ### "I’m not a fan" — 2.0/5 > **Bre** | *26 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it shows the news/ weather and you can customize the tabs you see on the homepage. It goes based off of what you already searched up or things that peak your interest. > > **Cons**: It can be confusing trying to get to the website you need to get too. I personally like other internet browsers more. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1012106/microsoft-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1012106/microsoft-edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
