Many people are concerned about what Google is monitoring and what they do with that data-or how they monetize it-when using Chrome. The new Edge browser also includes the ability to host Internet Explorer as a tab in the browser-which is useful for organizations that still rely on applications that require the legacy browser.Įnd users may want to consider making the switch to the new Edge browser from both privacy and productivity perspectives.
