The reason why Edge is able to “natively support” all of these Microsoft office and cloud security features is because they are all integrated with Windows. However, the article goes on to state, the “Microsoft Edge security story doesn’t stop there.” As well as protecting against phishing and malware, Edge “natively supports hardware isolation on Windows 10.” Mention is also made of native support for Microsoft 365 security and Azure AD Conditional Access. That article begins by noting that because Edge was built with Chromium, it “shares the same well-engineered and well-tested security architecture and design” as Google Chrome. “Edge is more secure than Google Chrome for your business on Windows 10,” Williams said, with a slide that linked to documentation about Edge security. Specifically, security for Windows users. Security was the main theme in an Ignite session presented by Colleen Williams, Principal Program Manager for Microsoft Edge. With that said, there are two key areas where competitive jousting between the two browser vendors is starting to ramp up: security and privacy. In general, there is parity on the rendering technologies - thanks, of course, to Google having open sourced Chromium back in 2008. Chrome and Edge have the same DNA - they both use the Blink rendering engine and the V8 JavaScript engine, and the user interface is similar too (with some exceptions, such as the new vertical tabs in Edge). As I’ll explain in this column, the user experience for business people is impacted by which cloud and office software their employers subscribe to.īut if there is to be a new browser war, it’ll be akin to a pair of siblings fighting.
This time it will be about the user experience - and in Microsoft’s case, the users it is targeting with Edge are primarily enterprise ones.
Previously he founded ReadWriteWeb in 2003 and built it into one of the world’s most influential technology news and analysis sites.ĭoes this mean the browser wars will flare up again over the next several years? Perhaps, but if so it won’t be a battle to control the underlying technology (as it was in the browser war of the 1990s, between Netscape and Microsoft).
