What Is Microsoft Edge?
33 Answers
I've just noticed a new icon on my PC (Windows 7) - a blue green swirl, which is apparently Microsoft Edge. I didn't install it! What is it do I need it, and why did it appear without me asking for it?!

I even had Edge running when this site was running a beta system and reporting back to the tech honchos at hq about the performance or non performance as the case may have been. I have had no problems with it, certainly no more than Chrome manage to generate. The added bonus is that I am not tracked up hill and down dale by Edge like you are with Chrome. I am still thinking about having a go with one of the newer browsers that provide more privacy for my forays into the so shall me deah sites.( Like duck duck go for instance) but keeping the Edge browser for shopping and any uses whereby a web history can be useful.

Edge installed itself on both my W7 machines with an update. As I said earlier (17:23), I just went through the usual procedure for removing unwanted programs and it went. A pop-up from Microsoft asking why I didn't want it, so I told them I objected strongly to them installing software without my consent.
