Internet Explorer is no longer the default browser on PCs running Microsoft Windows 10. In its place is a modern browser named Edge.
Microsoft’s Edge browser is more standards-compliant and performs better. It also no longer supports ActiveX controls, so all those old Internet Explorer toolbars and browser plug-ins will no longer function.
Some new features of Edge include:
- Ability to pin web pages to the Start Menu.
- Built-in E-Reader.
- “Set tabs aside” feature allows you to set web pages aside to be accessed at a later time.
- Tab Previews.
- Set multiple homepages.
If you’ve been using Internet Explorer, this is the browser you’ll be using instead. Internet Explorer 11 is still available on Windows 10 if you need it.
