Description

Chromium-based browser from Microsoft with built-in AI features (Copilot), vertical tabs, and Collections.

Download or use

Pre-installed on Windows. microsoft.com/edge

Reasoning for

Default browser on Windows. Key features I use:

• Vertical tabs — better for many open tabs
• Collections — save and organize research
• Built-in password manager (supplementary to 1Password)
• Profile separation — work vs. personal

Alternatives considered

• Chrome — virtually identical engine, but Edge has better Windows integration
• Firefox — good for privacy, but worse performance on some sites
