Microsoft tried a fresh start by stripping IE down into a new browser called Edge, but it still couldn't keep up. Rivals like Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Google Chrome pushed IE aside and transformed the web into a constantly evolving technology foundation. Its older Internet Explorer dominated the market two decades ago, but Microsoft let it languish for years with few improvements. Microsoft has struggled for years with its browser ambitions. They're also designed to make browsing better for people who are learning to read, struggling with cluttered websites or using the web with dyslexia or vision problems. The new Edge features are designed to improve password security, tab management, online research and even lowly copy and paste. A collection of new browser features - some only in test versions of the browser for now - is designed to make Edge more useful, less frustrating and maybe even a better alternative to Google Chrome. Microsoft on Monday released a new version of its recently overhauled Edge browser designed to excite ordinary consumers, not just IT administrators.
