Since late 2016 we know that Microsoft Edge, Microsoft's web browser, will have new add-ons and functions in addition to those known to all of us. Since then we are receiving new information with a dropper. The latest information on this topic tells us about a imminent integration of Windows Defender within the Windows 10 web browser.
This integration will be done in order to have a more secure web browser and therefore a more secure use of the Microsoft operating system.
So far, Windows Defender is a free Microsoft antivirus that protects our operating system and that comes by default in Windows 10. Now, with Creators Update, Windows Defender will not only be present on our computer but will also be integrated into the web browser ensuring the security of our web browsing. And until this new option arrives thanks to Creators Update, users of the Fast Ring will already be able to enjoy this new function.
Windows Defender is now available in Microsoft Edge through the Windows 10 Quick Ring
To do this, they only have to write the following sentence in the navigation bar: «about: applicationguard ». After this, a window will be displayed with all the information that Windows Defender antivirus has on web browsing, which modules are working and possible security holes that we can have in the operating system.
This will allow us to save on using extra functions and special accessories, but it is also true that if we have the Quick Ring, we can have some other known antivirus problem that we use in Windows 10, something that could have been informed to the user.
In any case, operating problems aside, the idea as well as the service will be something that set Microsoft's web browser apart from the rest and something that will set a trend in the world of web browsers Do not you think?
