Many business owners shy away from Microsoft Edge, thinking it’ll slow down their operations. However, the browser has been massively upgraded and can help boost productivity. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has made great strides since the introduction of Internet Explorer. The company now offers Microsoft Edge, a refined version that arguably provides the best web experience for business users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the old Internet Explorer, this browser now relies on Google’s Chromium engine to provide faster loading, better compatibility, and enhanced support. Plus, Microsoft releases regular updates to tweak various features of the browser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Microsoft Edge, you can now surf the internet more privately, optimize performance, enable cross-device support, and enjoy many other neat functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, these features have been introduced conveniently. They don’t clutter the interface and are easy to find. They\u2019re also user-friendly, which means your team won\u2019t have to rely on your IT service provider for help with simple tasks involving the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Microsoft Edge has come a long way since its release and boasts several features you can use to boost productivity. This article will list the seven main ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Features<\/h2>\n\n\n

Feature #1 Wireless Sharing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most attractive features of Edge is Share. It allows you to transfer browser content to nearby devices without leaving the website you’re viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Share feature is simple and clean. It works like social-sharing buttons but contains more customization options and controls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wi-Fi sharing might be the most practical option, but you can also choose between other services, such as OneNote and Mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feature #2 Multiple Profiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge provides another convenient feature \u2013 setting up multiple profiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This well-designed function lets you share your browser with other team members without disclosing your preferences or information. Such a feature makes the browser a practical tool for separating your work and personal stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this work, you won\u2019t even have to ask your IT service provider to do the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When adding a new profile to Edge, you do it by simply linking to a different Microsoft account. This newly-linked account has a unique history, favorites, and other relevant settings compared to other profiles on the same browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also the option to switch between connected profiles automatically. To do that, the browser will prompt you to use the correct profile when launching a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users save time and increase productivity as a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feature #3 Website Pinning <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most browsers have the Pin feature to help users access their favourite websites quickly. They need only to launch the program to load the pages automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this function can be problematic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you close the window with pinned sites before closing the remaining windows, the pinned sites are lost. This can be a massive problem for your workers, especially when working on a critical project. Their productivity suffers since they often need to re-pin sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge solves this issue with the Pin to Taskbar option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, it lets you pin sites to your computer’s taskbar. Once you open the desired page, click this feature in the ‘More’ menu. So the next time you need to access the website, clicking the icon on the taskbar should do the trick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feature #4 Privacy Control <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tracking Prevention is a Microsoft Edge feature that helps prevent social media, advertisers, and other trackers from tracking your online activity. It can protect your privacy and make your browsing less personalized, which is essential for any professional environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature consists of three privacy levels: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
