Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is one of two browsers we use daily. We use Microsoft Edge to find relevant articles and relevant job positions to share in our weekly e-newsletter. Additionally, a lot of the work we do are browser based and require us to view and pull data from various websites. Microsoft Edge with all its continuous new enhancements like pins, vertical tabs, tab management (like grouping and sending tabs to devices), split screen, screenshot, sidebars, Co-Pilot AI integration, etc., continuously becomes more and more useful and helpful.
Pros
- Returning relevant information via search
- Managing search results with excellent tab management features
- Continuous improvement and innovation with regular updates and new features.
Cons
- I think Microsoft Edge could be better returning relevant search results with simple queries...sometimes I have to come up with creative search terms or phrases to obtain relevant data...it would be nice just to enter 3-5 key words and get better results.
- It would also be nice to know which sites have paywalls so we don't waste our time opening them to view the information.
- Sometimes the search results still aren't as good as Google.
- It is good to have an alternative to Google...different results...which means more choices and information than from one source.
- Sometimes Microsoft Edge information results is not as robust as Google so we need to use Google too.
- The integration with Microsoft products is really nice...since we are a Microsoft shop.
I used to use Chrome exclusively, but once I started using Microsoft Edge, I noticed that they have some innovative features that Chrome didn't originally have to manage search results. Microsoft Edge seems to have forced Google to improve their features. Now I use both about 50% each. For our work, it seems we need both to get a comprehensive set of results.
