The tab management on the software is easy to use, it has fair/minimal ram usage, extensions are easy to navigate and the overall learning curve isn't too steep. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I don't have much I don't like about Edge. One note is that it seems some online platforms often prefer a non-Edge browser if you are using their platform. That can be a bit annoying to switch back and forth. > > Overall, I am very impressed. Microsoft Edge is a core part of how I function well at work in my day to day. ----- ### "Microsoft Edge: A Tool for PDF Assignments" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use many PDF files in my AP history courses, and I needed a way for students to type on the PDFs. Microsoft Edge has a textbox feature that allows students to do so. > > **Cons**: Unlike other products in the Microsoft suite, there is no auto-save feature. Oftentimes, students will submit an incomplete assignment because they forgot to hit the save button one last time. > > I love using Microsoft Edge\! It is easy for my students to download PDFs from the LMS and then resubmit them after they've completed the work using Microsoft Edge. ----- ### "My best browser \!" — 5.0/5 > **Kim** | *13 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the fact that Microsoft edge doesn't drain my battery like some other browsers do.The tab is easy to manage. Its interface is amazing. > > **Cons**: One of the cons is that it has limited extension. I don't like as it takes a lot of memory sometimes. And adjustment is needed on that. > > All things considered, it is the greatest browser I have ever used alongside with chrome ,safari and Firefox. Microsoft has done a great job of optimizing the browser for both windows and mobile phones. Although there are few problems about Microsoft edge, but compared to others ,it is still my best browser \! ----- ### "Simply Can't Compete" — 1.0/5 > **Percival** | *10 July 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like that it offers basic customization, and that it has Bing built in as the default browser, making earning Microsoft Points easier and streamlined. The more modern UI is also appealing. > > **Cons**: It is Internet Explorer dressed up in a tuxedo; it has never and will never have the customization, ease of use, add-on's, security features or the low impact on my PC performance while doing other things that many other browsers are capable of. > > Not something I would recommend to anyone under the age of 45 - younger users will be unimpressed with the lack of versatility. This browser is fine for office work or basic tasks but this is not the application for gamers or streamers. My personal take-away from Edge was that it simply is not meant for me. ----- 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
