The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
To navigate to a website, the browser needs to look up the network address (e.g. 93.184.216.34) for the host name (e.g. example.com) that’s used in the website’s URL. Secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS (DoH)) performs this lookup using a service over an HTTPS connection to the DNS service provider, thus protecting the lookups from modification or eavesdropping by attackers on the network.
By default, Microsoft Edge uses your current secure DNS provider. Microsoft Edge also offers alternate secure DNS providers to use.
This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off secure DNS in Microsoft Edge for your account or all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
