Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is a web browser listed in the Internet & Browsers category. Its main purpose is to let users view web content and interact with online services. This catalog entry identifies the software as a Windows product.

The browser provides a way to access websites and use services delivered through the web. It is intended for Windows users who need software for ordinary web browsing and online interaction. No additional browser features are assumed for this listing beyond those functions.

Microsoft Edge is listed with an open-source license. That designation describes the licensing model associated with the available download and gives readers a basic reference for how the software is made available. The product has a cross-platform history, but this entry is specifically associated with Windows.

MirrorNest stores a direct mirror of the official build on its own systems. The mirrored file is scanned for malware before it is published in the catalog. This distribution method gives Windows users access to a copy of the official build while retaining its Windows platform and Internet & Browsers classification.
