Vision Computer Solutions’ Service Desk Manager, Chris Warnick, applauds Edge for its bolstered security. “In theory, if more people ran Edge for web browsing, it would be pretty hard to get a virus. Edge’s sand-boxing virtually blocks any malicious code and exploits the virus’s hidden locations.”

The purpose of the sandbox is to limit information traveling from your browser to your system and your data. This isolates damage that could potentially wreak havoc moving from file to file inside your PC.
