For example, Edge has a built-in tracking prevention feature and a potentially unwanted program (PUP) blocker. <br> By all accounts MS has also done some work on making its version of dev tools viable.<br> So, who's it for? MS fans, those who want it all in one place, as it were, and those who haven't completely embraced the Google phenomenon.<br> Either way, it's a serious contender aimed deliberately at winning market share from Google Chrome.<br> Will you jump?</p>
