Build Edge for Business, Microsoft's year-old entry into the enterprise browser race, has received a handful of security and productivity upgrades announced Tuesday at the tech giant's Build developer conference.
Microsoft Edge for Business: Secure, productive, optimized for AI
While browsers have long been subject to corporate IT controls, both Google and Microsoft have decided to create standalone enterprise browsers—both based on the same Chromium engine, of course—presumably for the lock-in value of non-standard features. Embrace, extend and make it difficult to switch to a competing product seems to be the idea.
Last month, Google introduced Chrome Enterprise Premium, which sells AI-powered data loss prevention controls for $6 per user per month, complementing its free Chrome Enterprise Core browser.
Edge for Business, which debuted at Build last year, also features data loss prevention, though at no extra charge.
