Microsoft's Edge browser has recently enhanced its 'Edge Secure Network' feature, which now offers 5GB of data, significantly increasing from the previously offered 1GB.

    I prefer Edge to Chrome (for Chromium uses, Firefox all the way for anything else), but Edge is starting to get so bloated. It’s becoming reminiscent of the old Internet Explorer toolbars. They just have so many features the screen is getting cluttered

      I’m using Edge for work and I know what you’re talking about, but you can just turn almost all of it off. Edge is pretty customizable. It doesn’t beat Firefox but it’s still decent.

      I know of a person that used to have almost that many open. She really thought she might use all of those things. ‘I need them there, just in case.’

    Please remember that Microsoft Edge is the worst Browser Privacy-wise. Every image you view in the Browser is sent to Microsofts servers and they will combine the tracking from their browser with the tracking from Windows to get to know you very well

    The Edge Secure Network uses Cloudflare’s routing to encrypt your internet connection and secure your data against online threats, such as hacking attempts.

    Yeah as if using a vpn helps you from being hacked what a trash article.

    Also if you don’t pay for the product you are the product.

      Tbh I didn’t mind edge before chromium. I don’t really know why it got so much hate, I think it could have turned out pretty good.

      Yeah, I quite liked it. Initially switched to it so I could keep my personal and uni stuff separated, but still synced. Unfortunately my uni disabled account sync for some reason now, so I’m thinking of switching to Firefox now.

    Is this just a repackaged version of Cloudflare Warp?
