Like most people with a newer computer, I was given the free update to Windows 10 last month. The new default browser for this update is Microsoft's latest internet browser, Microsoft Edge.

For what seems like a decade, but has probably been about five years, I've been strongly suggesting internet users install Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as a better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. This stance hasn't changed, but flaws are developing in a few of these programs and viruses are being more targeted to them as market share grows.

It took me until yesterday to give Microsoft Edge a chance, instantly removing it as my default browser upon upgrade. I was actually shocked by how well Edge ran different websites, including our own.

I'm certainly not saying to chuck away your favourite internet browser, but it's worth giving Microsoft Edge a chance and deciding for yourself when you upgrade to Windows 10.
