Is Microsoft Edge a Secure Browser?
Browser security is important for all internet users, especially considering that a secure browser is one of the major lines of defense against computer malware and malicious websites.

The new Edge browser will be automatically delivered via a Windows Update to Windows 10 users over the next few months, however, it will also be made available for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, mac, os, i, phone, i Pad, and Android. Microsoft has even promised Edge for Linux in the future.
