Microsoft Edge

Microsoft's web browser with Copilot, energy saver and sleeping tabs, for desktop and mobile.

Try Microsoft Edge (opens the Microsoft Edge website in a new tab)

Our verdict

Good for Windows users and anyone already using Microsoft accounts who wants a browser with built-in Copilot and battery-saving options. Skip it if you want a fully open-source browser.

What it does well

  • Copilot works across tabs; one-click tab cleanup
  • Energy saver, Startup boost and Sleeping tabs for performance and battery
  • Syncs passwords, favorites and settings across devices

Where it falls short

  • Does not support Chromebooks, per Microsoft's documentation
  • Needs macOS 13 or later for Edge 151 and newer; Android 10+ with ARM chip
  • Linux builds cover only 64-bit Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE and Fedora officially

Microsoft's download page offers Edge for Windows, macOS, Linux (.deb), iOS and Android, and its education page says 'Get Microsoft Edge for free'. The main pages do not otherwise state a price.
