Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer of Qualys, SaaS service provider for vulnerability management and compliance solutions, said that after several months of observation, Edge browsers need to fix fewer vulnerabilities each month than IE browsers, this indicates that Edge browsers are more secure.

On average, since Microsoft released the official version of Windows 10 in July 29, the Internet Explorer has fixed more than 10 vulnerabilities each month. The latest November update fixes 25 vulnerabilities. This month, only four Edge browser vulnerabilities have been detected and fixed. Because of this, Kandek believes that "Edge is obviously much safer than IE, and Edge browser will be a very good choice if it can be improved in terms of applications ."
