Update March, 2016: Browser extensions preview So, if you’re used to all kind of extensions for being more productive, this might be some bad news which probably keeps you away from using Edge. According to a recent ‘ The Next Web’ article, Microsoft has said it will support extensions “soon”. There are no browser extensions available. However, there’s one big drawback when choosing Edge. It really seems that Microsoft is on its right track with Edge. Google Chrome seems still to be the fastest browser available, closely followed by Microsoft Edge which we haven’t really expected. Other tests came to the same or similar results. When opening on various browsers (“Standard” Laptop running Windows 10), we experienced the following rendering results The good news is: Microsoft Edge’s can definitely compete with Chrome and Firefox in terms of speed and loading times. I guess you all reminder those jokes on the slowness of the IE, right? 🙂 If the mentioned developer tools sound quite interesting to you, you might wonder how Edge competes in terms of speed. Microsoft’s approach is a bit more spartanic when it comes to mobile emulation. Chrome’s mobile emulation allows to throttle network speed to simulate different mobile network connections and it also has a handy device picker which automatically resizes the viewport to the according size. You get even further options such as de-/activating GPS (which isn’t available with the Google developer tools for example).Ĭompared to Chrome’s mobile emulation this is still only a beginning. The emulation tool is great for testing your (responsive) web design and how it is displayed on your latest mobile phone. You might be wondering how your website performs and renders on different devices or screen sizes. Again, it offers similar features as the network tool inside Chrome. The network tool gives you some great details of network requests involved in the loading of a webpage. The interface is completely uncluttered and easy to understand. The console of Edge feels quite tidy in comparison to Firefox’ and Chrome’s console. It also serves as central place for error messages and status codes.

Similar to the console in Firefox or Chrome, the Console tool of Edge allows you to interact with the Javascript parts on a particular website. The so-called DOM Explorer tool allows you to do the same things as you would do with the Chrome or Firefox Dev Tools’ element picker. It allows developers to edit HTML and CSS on a page. The DOM Explorer tool basically shows you the structure of a certain webpage.

Here’s what Edge has to offer for developers. So, you might ask and wonder if it’s possible to go back developing with Edge and turn your back to Chrome and Firefox. Basically, Microsoft took the basic technology of IE and make sure that Edge meets current web standards. If you take a deeper look inside the engine, it isn’t all that new actually.Įdge uses a forked version of Internet Explorer’s rendering engine “Trident”. Wait, it’s not all new & shiny?Īs said, Edge feels like a new browser. Though, I have to say that the Desktop icon “E” still reminds me on its predecessor. It doesn’t feel like an update of Internet Explorer. (I don’t want to bash IE here, since Microsoft had undertaken quite a few good efforts with IE 11).Įdge really feels like a “new” browser. At least way lighter than Internet Explorer felt the last time we gave it a try. They claim that Edge is super fast and that it supports more web standards than ever. Luckily, Microsoft noticed that problem and built Edge. With its piles of legacy code, the Internet Explorer has somehow become the unbeloved browser in today’s world.įor years, building websites or web apps always included to find workarounds for various Internet Explorer flaws. Microsoft claimed to have re-built its internet browser from scratch.
