Now in the standard menu, the developers talk about the benefits of the Microsoft Edge.
What to call this type of advertising, everyone decides for himself, but we must consider what in the future may become the norm.

Microsoft indicates a higher energy efficiency of your browser compared to the competition that can be useful on laptops and tablets for greater battery life.
