Microsoft is also touting the security credentials of its Edge browser after it beat competitors including Chrome in a recent study. For enterprises, new Edge provides IE mode to maintain combability with the legacy apps requiring IE 11. Microsoft outlined that it is “respecting investments” in Internet Explorer 11.
