"Seamless Microsoft Integration and a Simple, Easy-to-Navigate UI"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

the login feature helps maintain seamless integration across Microsoft platforms accessed online through Edge's browser. The user interface is super simple and visually easy to navigate all sorts of tasks. For example, when you click a hyperlink in an outlook email, the browser opens with a side window of the email within the browser window. Super helpful when you need to go back and forth between the referenced email and the site(s) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

"Fast, Smooth, and Organized Browsing with Microsoft Edge"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

I really love how fast and smooth Microsoft Edge feels, even when i have dozens of tabs open at the same time. The vertical tabs feature is a game-changer for me because it keeps my browser organized and clutter-free.I also frequently use the built-in Copilot AI in the sidebar to quickly summarize long articles and answer questions. Plus, it uses noticeably less computer memory than other browsers, which helps my laptop battery last longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

While Microsoft Edge has improved a lot, I dislike how cluttered the interface can feel with aggressive promotions for features like shopping coupons, news feeds, and bing rewards. It can also be frustrating how persistently Windows tries to pus Edge as default browser, even after you have chosen a different preference. Additionally, some of the built-in sidebar widgets and tools feel unnecessary and can make the browser look bloated if you don't take the time to manually turn them off.

"Fast and Lightweight, but the Default Experience Feels Cluttered"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

What I like best about Microsoft Edge is how fast and lightweight it feels on Windows. It handles multiple tabs really well, uses less memory than Chrome in my experience, and comes with genuinely useful built-in features like vertical tabs, split screen, sleeping tabs, and a great PDF reader without needing extra extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

I don't like how Microsoft keeps adding extra features and AI integrations that I never asked for. The browser can feel a bit cluttered out of the box, and it takes a few minutes to turn off the things I don't use. Once that's done, it's great, but I wish it came with a cleaner default experience.

"Edge Keeps My System Snappy with Sleeping Tabs, Sidebar Apps, and Copilot"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

Edge is great for keeping your system from lagging, mainly because the Sleeping Tabs feature frees up memory by freezing background pages. The sidebar is also highly practical, since it gives you quick access to Outlook and Excel without constantly switching back and forth between heavier desktop apps. On top of that, it has a solid built-in PDF viewer and Copilot integration, which makes it easier to organize tabs vertically and quickly scan or summarize dense financial documents and study material directly in the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

Edge can feel pretty cluttered right out of the box, since it comes loaded with lots of news feeds and shopping widgets that you have to turn off manually. The frequent pop-ups nudging you to change settings or try new Microsoft features can also get annoying, especially when you’re in the middle of a task. On top of that, switching between multiple work and personal Microsoft accounts sometimes glitches, which can temporarily interrupt your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use, Free Browser with Great Bing Search and Microsoft Rewards Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

Interface is easy to use. Also, I like how it's integrated with Microsoft Rewards so you can see your points balance. It's also good that it is free. The search using Bing has improved greatly over time as well. Also the copilot search integration makes things like product comparison or pricing comparison very quick. No performance issues as well, I've never had it crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

It's automatically installed in new Windows PCs and sometimes I might like to use another browser. Also it's usually set as the default and sometimes I like to search using other engines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Experience with My Daily Browser for Work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

Microsoft Edge for Business is that it is the browser I use all my workday. I use it for accessing company portals like share-point, teams, outlooks, Microsoft 365 applications, internal tools, documentation, and web-based applications, so it is almost always open on my laptop.

I make regular use of work profiles, which helps me keep work-related browsing separate and stay signed in to the right accounts.

Apart from tab it’s has features like collections or group which help us to group tab together which are related.

Another thing I use is the built-in Microsoft Copilot integration. I always use it to summarize information, get quick explanations, help draft content, and sometimes even assist with small coding-related questions while working. Having it available directly in the browser is easy for me because I do not need to switch between different applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

There is not much I dislike about Microsoft Edge for Business because it has worked well for my daily use. If I had to mention something, it would be that when I have a very large number of tabs open then sometimes it is difficult to get the correct tab open in front and icons get too small.

I have also noticed that after some updates, a few settings or options move to different places, so it takes a little time to find them again. These are not major issues, but I think it could be easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Reliable Browser for Everyday Use"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

What I like most about Microsoft Edge is how fast it feels and how easy it is to use. I use it every day for browsing, work, and general web searches, and it handles all of that smoothly. It also integrates well with Windows and includes useful built-in features, which saves me from having to install too many extra tools. Overall, it has been a reliable browser for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

What I dislike about Microsoft Edge is that it can sometimes feel a bit cluttered due to the number of built-in features and recommendations. Now and then, I also see prompts encouraging me to use Microsoft services, which can be distracting. It’s not a major issue overall, but I’d prefer a cleaner, more streamlined experience with fewer suggestions enabled by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Familiar, but Resource-Heavy with Multiple Tabs"
3/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

I mostly use it as a second browser, but it works well enough for what I need. It loads fairly quickly and offers decent integration with Windows accounts and passwords. The UX is the same as other browsers so it is easy to use in that regard. It is free and seems to have regular updates. The bing AI features are not bad and are in some cases superior to google search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

It’s extremely RAM- and CPU-heavy, as is the case with all Chromium-based browsers, so it can lead to unwanted system slowdowns when you have multiple tabs open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Premier Browser for Industrial Automation: Bridging Legacy PLC Access and Modern AI Research"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

As an engineer at Festo, my workflow requires constant toggling between internal PLM systems, vendor portals, and web-based configuration tools like the "Festo Automation Suite".

What sets Edge apart in 2026 is its 'Edge for Business' separation. It keeps my industrial documentation and internal SCADA web-interfaces strictly partitioned from my general browsing. The "Multi-tab Reasoning" in Copilot is a game-changer for technical research; I can open 15 different PDF datasheets for sensors and ask Edge to generate a comparison table of their IP ratings and response times instantly. Additionally, the native "IE Mode" is still a necessity for accessing legacy firmware on older PLC web-servers that haven't been updated to modern standards, saving me from maintaining multiple insecure browsers." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

The 'New Tab' experience remains cluttered by default with consumer-facing news (MSN), which feels unprofessional in a high-precision engineering environment. While IT can manage this via Group Policy, the out-of-the-box experience is distracting. Also, the "Sidebar" can feel 'bloated' with shopping and gaming tools that have zero utility for industrial automation tasks. I’d prefer a 'Developer/Engineer' profile preset that strips these away automatically." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Intuitive Browser with AI That Boosts Productivity."
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Edge?

The integration of Copilot AI is excellent. The interface is clean and well‑organized, websites load quickly, and I appreciate being able to view two tabs simultaneously. Password management is smooth, and having Edge settings integrated with my Outlook account is very convenient. Best of all, it comes at no additional cost, and It doesn’t require any training, since the product is intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Edge?

I think the management of favorites could be improved. When you have a large number of bookmarked pages, it becomes difficult to keep them organized. Perhaps integrating AI to help reorganize and suggest a better structure would make the experience more efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
