With all the questions raised above, what is the argument for making the switch to Microsoft’s Edge Chromium browser?

Edge produces in terms of new features such as Collections which makes it easier to collate images and content from the web and tracking prevention. You will find that Edge has a similar look and feel to Chrome including full compatibility for Chrome extensions. Microsoft plans to fill the gap on these syncing features later in 2020. You will find that both history sync and extension sync are not present, however you will see that the usual features such as favourites, settings, addresses and passwords will all sync.

In light of Edge Chromium being readily available today, it is being launched without some features that you are accustomed to using in Chrome. At this point, Microsoft is taking a very softly, softly approach, slowly implementing Edge to clusters of Windows 10 users via a Windows Update before it ramps up the roll out to all users during the Summer. Over the course of the next few months, Microsoft will be looking to automatically update Windows 10 users to this new Edge browser which will completely replace the older version. At this stage, Microsoft is only looking to target this browser at its main enterprise users of Windows & MacOS, however it will be soon available for standard customers too in the form of a download. This new browser is available for all users to download, less than a year after Microsoft revealed its plans to make the switch to Chromium. Microsoft has finally launched its hotly anticipated new Edge Chromium browser to both Windows and macOS users.
