Edge is based on Chromium, just like Google Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>This is what makes it so easy to recommend Edge these days. Do you like Chrome? Well, chances are you will like Edge, too. On the desktop, Edge is very similar to Chrome, but the mobile version has a few more customizations.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Edge is essentially Chrome without all of the Google-y stuff. That means you can\u2019t sync history and passwords between Edge and Chrome, but the good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> is it\u2019s easy to transfer all your stuff from Chrome over to Edge if you make the switch. Also, Edge has its own version of Chrome Sync.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Make Microsoft Edge the Default Browser on Android<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Syncing_Between_Desktop_and_Phone\"><\/span>Syncing Between Desktop and Phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-757209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2021-09-23_17-10-23-1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Edge synced tabs.\" width=\"649\" height=\"366\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>My Edge journey started on my desktop computer. After setting up a new PC, I decided to give Edge a try. After all, it\u2019s basically just Chrome now. I ended up liking it a lot, so it made sense to use Edge on my phone too.<\/p>\n<p>I could never give up Chrome on my phone because of how well it synced up with the desktop version. Now that desktop Edge is actually good\u2014and it has similar syncing abilities as Chrome\u2014there was nothing holding me back.<\/p>\n<p>Edge Sync works basically the same as Chrome Sync, but you use a Microsoft account instead of a Google account. It syncs passwords, bookmarks, autofill info, history, and tabs. Admittedly, it\u2019s still not <em>quite<\/em> as smooth as Chrome, but it does work well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Sync Microsoft Edge Tabs Across Devices<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Built-In_Ad_and_Tracking_Blocker\"><\/span>Built-In Ad and Tracking Blocker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-757208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2021-09-23_17-11-41-1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Edge tracking settings.\" width=\"650\" height=\"361\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Something that sets Edge apart from Chrome is Microsoft\u2019s built-in blocking tools. You can choose to have Edge automatically block ads, request sites to \u201cDo Not Track,\u201d and prevent other forms of trackers.<\/p>\n<p>Edge also has Microsoft Defender SmartScreen built-in, which can protect against malicious websites and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download<\/a>s. If you care about security and privacy online, these are great tools to have at your disposal. You don\u2019t have to download any special add-ons to do it, either.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miscellaneous_Cool_Things\"><\/span>Miscellaneous Cool Things<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-757207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2021-09-23_17-12-28-1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Edge toolbar buttons.\" width=\"649\" height=\"399\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve hit on the major points, but Edge has a handful of small cool features, too. For example, there\u2019s a screenshot tool built into the Share menu. You can rearrange the toolbar buttons to however you\u2019d like. The \u201cRead Aloud\u201d tool can read web pages out loud, and it\u2019s just a tap away. You can quickly see your most-visited sites by tapping the address bar.<\/p>\n<p>I like that Microsoft Edge is a fresh interpretation of Chrome. The backend <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that you know from Chrome is all there, but Microsoft has thrown in a lot of its own personal touches. If you haven\u2019t tried Edge on the desktop or Android, you really should give it a shot. You may end up liking it a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Install and Use Microsoft Edge on Android<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
