Is This the Ultimate Browser for Business?

 

Edge for Business, browserIt’ll come as no surprise, but Microsoft has more exciting news for us. Sometimes we wonder if they allow their employees to sleep! This time it’s a new browser aimed specifically at businesses: Edge for Business.

The updated browser has security and productivity features perfect for employers and their teams.
Edge for Business could become the best choice for browsing the web, whether managed or unmanaged, on work-related devices. That’s because it will allow companies to control employees without intruding on their privacy.
And that’s perfect for the way many of us work today. If you’re a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) company, Edge for Business will also be your perfect solution.

One of the best things about Edge for Business is that it automatically separates work and personal browsing into dedicated browser windows. It has its favorites, separate caches, and storage locations.
And some sites will automatically open in the relevant browser, like Microsoft 365 will go straight to your work browser, whereas a shopping site will open in your browser.
That means you don’t have to worry about accidentally sending a colleague that funny meme you saw on social media.

Edge for Business is currently available to test, but although we understand you’ll be eager to try it, we advise holding off until its official launch in the fall. Let others be the guinea pigs.
And Microsoft has yet to add custom branding capabilities for businesses, but they promise that’s coming soon. The anticipation is half the fun, right?

Edge for Business aims to bridge the gap between work and personal on the same device, ensuring that personal and professional information remains separate and secure. With this new and exciting business browser, you’ll enjoy heightened productivity and security.
