Pros
Pro Edge isn't a big target for hackers
Nearly all browsers use the same browser engine as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox; meaning they have the same security-holes as one of the big three. Edge doesn't, it has has its own engine.
In other words, even if you find yourself on a website that tries to hack your computer: It's very likely that the the website will only be designed to hack the big three, and wouldn't be able to do anything to Edge.
This doesn't apply on iOS (iPhones, iPads, iPods); all browsers on iOS use the same engine as Safari.

Microsoft Edge (Edge HTML)
Recommended 5 years ago
Edge is basically Chrome, with a few good improvements. If you don't like Chrome, you probably aren't going to like Edge. But if you want a Chrome that's more secure, easy on battery life, and has a reader view (to let you read webpages more easily): Edge might be the browser for you.
