We had too many good times together \u2014 and the old bastard is still pretty.<\/p>\n<p>Our relationship, however, may soon face a new threat. According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/use-the-microsoft-edge-secure-network-to-protect-your-browsing-885472e2-7847-4d89-befb-c80d3dda6318\">a page on the Microsoft website<\/a> that was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/use-the-microsoft-edge-secure-network-to-protect-your-browsing-885472e2-7847-4d89-befb-c80d3dda6318\">spotted by Neowin<\/a>, the software giant has developed a built-in VPN for the Edge browser.<\/p>\n<p>The service remains a preview feature for now, but it could be available in an upcoming version of Edge.<\/p>\n<p>Named the \u201cMicrosoft Edge Secure Network,\u201d\u00a0 the VPN is powered by Cloudflare. The company promises to delete the diagnostic and support data it collects every 25 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft says the feature encrypts your connection, helps prevent online tracking, and keeps your location private. But perhaps the most attractive attribute is that the service is free to use.<\/p>\n<p>Users will need to sign in to their Microsoft account to use the service. You can find out how to turn it on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/use-the-microsoft-edge-secure-network-to-protect-your-browsing-885472e2-7847-4d89-befb-c80d3dda6318\">at the Microsoft website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is one major drawback: the service has a limit of 1GB of data.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a problem for me, as I only use VPNs to fight oppressive governments and protect confidential sources, but fans of illegal streams 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 will have to commit their ghastly crimes elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>It could nonetheless give Edge an, um, edge over its rivals. Opera already has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.opera.com\/features\/free-vpn\">a free built-in VPN<\/a>, but the service is slow, while <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-GB\/products\/vpn\/\">Mozilla\u2019s VPN for Firefox<\/a> remains a paid service. Chrome, meanwhile, doesn\u2019t have a built-in VPN.<\/p>\n<p>I still haven\u2019t ditched the browser, but the old deadbeat isn\u2019t looking as hot as it used to.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
