Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge, released in 2015 and rebuilt on the Chromium engine in 2020, is fast, efficient, and packed with features. It has a built-in Read Aloud tool that narrates websites in a natural voiceβ€”perfect for hands-free browsing. Edge also integrates AI tools like Bing Chat for smarter searches. Fun fact: Edge’s Sleeping Tabs can reduce memory usage by up to 85%, making multitasking smoother. Edge proves Microsoft is back in the browser game with a clever, modern twist!
