Why Microsoft Edge is the best browser for students

Sure, there are many ways for learners of all ages to study and engage online, but Microsoft Edge has emerged as the best browser for students thanks to a suite of helpful features and add-ons.

Get organized with Collections and Tab groups

Stay productive with organization tools like Collections and Tab groups. With Collections, you can group sites you visit often or that you find for projects, for instance, into their own visual tile, making them super easy to find and manage! While Collections organizes web pages, Tab groups organizes, well, tabs! Here are some great ways Tab groups can make browsing smoother and better organized:

Try Vertical tabs. For some people, these can make it easier to organize, close, select, and reorder your tabs because they read more like a table of contents then one long line of text.
Pin favorites. If you find yourself returning to the same pages over and over, simply pin the tab for quick access.
Drag and drop. Move tabs around to group them by topic or assignment, or to layout your path forward in a logical order.

Read better with Immersive Reader

With Immersive Reader, you design your own reading experience, from text size and background color, to highlighting lines as you go. There are also several accessibility features built into Immersive Reader, supporting equity for students vision issues, dyslexia, and more.

Listen in with Read Aloud

Not only can you choose your own reading style in Microsoft Edge; you can use Read Aloud to have web pages, and more, read to you! Adjust voice options, speed up, slow down, or skip ahead to different parts of the text with a convenient ribbon toolbar. You can find Read Aloud within the Immersive Reader suite of features.

Check your grammar with Microsoft Editor

It can take time for students to truly develop their writing skills, and some may always need a little assistance with grammar and spelling. Thankfully, Microsoft Editor is available as a built-in browser extension for Microsoft Edge. It offers enhanced spellchecking, makes suggestions for grammar, and helps students write more confidently online, whether composing an email, social media post, or a post on a message board.

If you’re using the online version of Microsoft Word or Outlook in your Microsoft Edge browser, Editor will check your spelling and grammar there, too.
