Microsoft's new browser, Edge, is compatible with Google/Firefox plugins

It has been rumored that the browser released with Windows 10 will be named Spartan, which is a good proof that Microsoft wants to open a new chapter in the browser, both in terms of pronunciation and the meaning of "warrior". But at the Microsoft Build 2015 conference held in the early hours of this morning, Microsoft officially announced the new browser called Edge.

At the Microsoft Build 2015 conference, Microsoft's new browser, previously codenamed "Project Spartan", was officially named "Microsoft Edge". The official explanation given by the name Edge is "Refers to being on the edge of consuming and creating." (Referring to the edge of consumption and creation). It means that the new browser is both consumer-friendly and creative.

At the conference, Microsoft mentioned that "Microsoft Edge" is a browser for doers, built-in note-taking and sharing, the best distraction-free reading experience, and the built-in Cortana voice assistant. However, the biggest feature is the addition of support for Chrome and Firefox plugins, which is a major breakthrough for the conservative Microsoft, first abolishing IE and then adding support for competitors.
