Is this the ultimate browser for business?

It should come as no surprise that Microsoft has more interesting news to share with us, as they continue rapid deployment of products and features.

Edge for Business is a new browser intended exclusively for businesses. 

The upgraded browser has security and efficiency improvements that are ideal for both employers and their teams.

Edge for Business may become the best option for online browsing on work-related devices, whether managed or unmanaged. This is because it will allow employers to maintain control over their staff while not invading their privacy. 

That’s ideal for the way many of us work nowadays. If your organisation facilitates Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Edge for Business will be the solution.

One of the best features of Edge for Business is that it automatically splits professional and personal surfing into distinct browser windows. It has its own set of favourites, caches, and storage locations. 

And some sites will open in the appropriate browser automatically, such as Microsoft 365, which will open in your business browser, whilst a shopping site will load in your personal browser. 

Edge for Business is available for testing, but we recommend waiting until its official introduction later in the year. Let others be the test subjects.

It’s not yet available in the trial, but Microsoft will also introduce custom branding options for businesses.

Edge for Business attempts to bridge the gap between work and personal on the same device while keeping personal and professional data distinct and secure. You’ll benefit from increased productivity and security with this innovative and engaging business browser.
