Microsoft Edge is a web browser developed by Microsoft, pre-installed on Windows operating systems. It offers features like tracking prevention, a built-in password manager, and integration with Microsoft services. Edge aims to provide a secure and efficient browsing experience, but its data collection practices and integration with the Microsoft ecosystem raise privacy concerns for some users.

Privacy-Focused Alternative

Ad-blocking privacy browser

Brave offers better privacy than Microsoft Edge due to its built-in ad and tracker blocking and its focus on user privacy. While Edge offers tracking prevention features, it does not block ads by default and still collects some user data. Brave's commitment to blocking ads and trackers and its private browsing mode with Tor integration make it a more privacy-conscious choice for secure browsing.
