Just over a year ago, Microsoft debuted a new web browser that was designed to replace its long-running — and often controversial — Internet Explorer product. Called Microsoft Edge, the new browser is notable for being based on Google’s open source browser engine Chromium.

Earlier this month in its annual developer event, Ignite, Microsoft touted the security features of Edge — and specifically called out Google Chrome in the process.

Williams showed further integration with Microsoft 365 later in her Ignite presentation, with a feature called Microsoft Search — which is “built-in to Microsoft Edge and available with your Microsoft 365 subscription.”

What’s clear in the browser market is that Google Chrome has much more to lose than Microsoft Edge over the next few years.
