The Windows 8.1 version of Microsoft Edge was basically free, with almost no extra work.

I knooooow that already, I even clearly mentioned it in the main post if you read it.Ī Windows RT 8.1 version of Microsoft Edge would require a lot of work, as there is no support in the Chromium codebase for ARMv7.Īs far as I recall, there must be an older version of Windows 10 for ARM32 in their database from where they could get Edge's code and implement it into the newer one, either they could change the actual x86 Edge's (for win7/8.1) libraries and / or its compilation settings, so I don't really think is impossible. The fact the Windows RT 8.1 is for ARMv7 and Windows 8.1 is for x86 and AMD64. So this is why I'm posting here, in order to bring Edge's devs attention into this thing.Īnd if possible, I'd like this to be forwarded to the ones who made the Edge Browser for 7 and 8.1 (Pro), or atleast to get any possible contact with them or one of them, thank a difference between Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1. I'm sorry if this might not be the place to post about this, but I saw similar topics on MS's community forum but none of them have an actual proper answer except saying that they're not supported anymore, but I, to be honest, don't believe that as 8.1's support "normally" would end on 2023, and still they receive updates.

The point to mention is users need ease of use and distraction-free browser, do not annoy them with your security restrictions.As the topic title says, I wonder if there's any way or any plan the Edge devs could just bring Microsoft Edge (same as they did on Windows 7 and 8.1 despite they're x86 OSes) on Windows RT, as the Surface RT tablet (which I own, but infact it's about all WinRT tablets) is stuck with only IE11 which is a really outdated and buggy browser, that even YouTube and any other sites don't work properly anymore, so therefore browsing on it is a pain in the butt, and it's just storing dust because I can't use it too much. Remember when you open Google homepage on Internet Explorer or Firefox, a suggestion box appeared to convince you get a better and faster web browser? That is the level of security and privacy. No matter how much you criticize Chrome for privacy and security, it is still much much more secure than so called privacy monsters which have already been manipulated by Google on Google’s home page. Microsoft (and Mozilla, too) should learn from Google Chrome. On the other hand, if Microsoft proves itself stubborn browser developer (just like Firefox) who does not care user demands but only security, privacy and all nonsense that annoy users while browsing, then it might not have a different future than Internet Explorer (the browser of stone ages). If Microsoft is capable to fulfill user demand and focus more on user friendly environment rather than brutal security and and annoying privacy pop-ups, it can beat Chrome in a short time. That is why Edge comes pre-installed in Windows 10. Edge vs Chrome (what to expect in future)Įdge has one biggest advantage over Chrome it is powered by Microsoft, the Windows developer. And it seems possible enough because Edge has more useful features and now the best backbone software. Chrome is unbeatable (still) and Firefox has been losing its loyal users due to non-user friendly features to boast its privacy and nothing else. Microsoft Edge has been ranked as 4th or 5th most popular browser for Windows. This sounds great and it will make MS Edge more popular than ever before. Besides these two major browser, there are lots of web browser based on Chromium engine. This is the backbone of most popular Google Chrome browser and also adopted by Opera Browser.

Microsoft has decided to change its browser engine to most popular Chromium engine. It is not available for Windows 8, Windows 7 or earlier versions like Windows XP and Win 9x.

In some statistics shown by Microsoft, Edge browser is less battery consuming, faster and secure than both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.Įdge is only available for Windows 10. It has very limited browser extensions (addons) but very powerful solid core engine which is capable to compete with Firefox and Chrome. It becomes even more powerful with Windows 10 installation and suggestion to use Microsoft Edge by Windows OS.īesides this, Microsoft Edge is a powerful, faster and reliable web browser for Windows 10. The same strategy like Google advertised and pushed Chrome. Well, a successor of Internet Explorer, developed by Microsoft, pre-installed in Windows 10, powered and advertised by Microsoft in Bing search and Windows 10, of course.
