disable microsoft edge is safer than firefox

I have a child domain that has no active DCs, the servers that the DCs were on have been deleted. There’s a lot more going on in modern web browsers to keep you safe so to me this data is misleading.Īny thoughts from the IT army on this? Does Edge's useability/compatibility flaws far outweigh its self proclaimed security prowess? So yes, Edge may “block 21% more Socially Engineered Malware,” but that doesn’t mean it’s 21% more secure, or that security is even quantifiable. Chrome blocked 85.8%, and Firefox blocked 78.3%. They found that SmartScreen, a security feature in Edge, blocked 99% of the SEM samples. The report tested 304 examples of Socially Engineered Malware (SEM) and phishing pages. Microsoft’s claim as far as I can find is based on a report by a business that sells threat intelligence and risk mitigation guidance to companies. How did Microsoft determine that, and is it really true? Invasive ads (which I find to be abhorrent and distracting) built into Windows 10 are now claiming that Edge is “safer” than Chrome and Firefox. Have they this time? Probably not, although Microsoft is heavily pushing Edge. Obviously as any self respecting IT professional knows, Microsoft haven't been able to build a decent web browser since.
