Microsoft's Edge browser has recently enhanced its 'Edge Secure Network' feature, which now offers 5GB of data, significantly increasing from the previously offered 1GB. The Edge Secure Network uses Cloudflare's routing to encrypt your internet connection and secure your data against online threats, such as hacking attempts.
Importantly, Microsoft ensures the user's Microsoft account identity is not shared with the service provider during a Secure Network connection.
Upon signing into Microsoft Edge with a Microsoft account, sync will also be activated, making browsing data accessible across all signed-in versions of Microsoft Edge.
The Edge Secure Network has been in development for almost a year and is now beginning to roll out to more users in the Edge stable version.
While Edge's Secure Network cannot replace all VPN functions - such as selecting your preferred location or enabling blocked streaming content on platforms like Netflix - it does provide the ability to access Torrent sites blocked by the ISP. Via Leo.
