Microsoft has reportedly revealed that its upcoming browser will be called 'Edge,' adding that the name referred to being on the edge of productivity and consumption.
Edge will be the default browser in Windows 10, while Internet Explorer will become a legacy option for compatibility reasons, reported PC World.
The new browser is expected to be lighter and faster than Internet Explorer, but with new features such as a built-in notation tool, a distraction-free reading mode, and website information from Cortana.
It will also support extensions based on HTML and Javascript. Microsoft said that developers will also be able to port their extensions from Chrome with a few minor modifications.
