Chromium vs Microsoft Edge: What are the differences?

On the other hand, Microsoft Edge is detailed as "A fast and secure way to get things done on the web". It is a fast and secure browser designed for Windows 10. Microsoft Edge comes exclusively with Windows 10 and cannot be downloaded or installed separately. It has easy tools to preview, group, and save tabs. Quickly find, manage, and open tabs you set aside without leaving the page you’re on.
