Microsoft Edge is an internet browser made by Microsoft, which is installed by default on all new Windows version computers and laptops. It is considered to be an alternative to popular browsers like Firefox or Chrome. Microsoft Edge is a universal Windows browser, so you can download it and update it from the Microsoft Store. Like other Windows browsers, the Microsoft Edge browser also comes with a dark mode. Activating dark mode reduces eye strain and leads to better eye health.
