Do you want to know some tips and experiences for using Edge browser?
Please refer to the following text. At present, I have replaced my main browser from Firefox to Edge. This article will be continuously updated and improved based on my own usage experience, including downloads, common plugins, usage tips, and common questions
Download and Install
Edge is a built-in browser in Win10, so most people don’t need to download it. If you don’t have it installed on your computer, you can go to the following address to download it

Usage Tips
- Drag and drop search
Due to long-term use of Firefox, I have become accustomed to dragging and searching on web pages, but Edge native does not support arbitrary dragging and searching. Dragging to the top tab bar of the browser in Edge will open a new tab search. If you drag to the position of the “small lock” on the far left side of the search bar, it will search on the current page
Moving Picture Cover
- Website translation
This feature is the main reason why I switched to Edge. The automatic translation of web pages is still very convenient to use. You can turn on the translation function in Settings Language Options
- Start Enhancement
I feel like this feature is like booting up, which can effectively improve the Edge startup speed
- IE mode
That’s right, we can use IE mode to access some websites without using IE browser
- Make good use of the middle mouse button
The hyperlinks in the webpage can be opened directly in a new tab using the middle mouse button
Middle click on the tab to close it
