I open Microsoft Edge, and everything just feels right. It’s not flashy or experimental. It’s stable, fast, and capable. It “just works.” I’ve jumped between browsers over the years, the way someone tests mattresses. I’m always seeking that one that feels just right. But no matter what I try, I keep returning to Edge.
Microsoft’s modern Chromium-based browser has earned my trust with thoughtful features, dependable performance, and a seamless cross-platform experience. It has all the extensions I can use on Chrome. It has a fantastic password manager, handles passkeys, and can be customized more than Chrome. Sure, it’s not perfect, but for me, it’s just right, and that’s what I’m looking for in a browser.

I’m a tech enthusiast, especially for consumer and small business-facing software. I get easily distracted by the next shiny thing, like when Arc Browser dropped. I let myself get caught up in the buzz around Arc, and when I tried it out finally I was left a little disappointed. Sidebar tabs? Well, Edge has had those forever as an option. Spaces were not that interesting, because Edge has Workspaces. The peek feature is kinda neat, I guess, but overall, I just went back to using Edge and forgot about Arc.
I started with Netscape Navigator back in the day, then slowly migrated to Internet Explorer. Firefox was the first browser I was excited to use. The open-source alternative to Explorer fit what I wanted perfectly. It was fast, pretty, and easy to use. It didn’t stall out the way Internet Explorer did, because it wasn’t bloated and clunky. Then came Chrome.

Like many others, I jumped on Chrome the day it was released in Canada. I had already been a Gmail user for four years. Chrome was exciting, simple, fast, reliable. It looked great, it had a massive extension library, and soon Google made it so I could access my entire online life through this one browser.
