2023 wasn't just another year for
Microsoft
Edge; it was a tidal wave of innovation, creativity, and AI marvels that redefined browsing as we know it. The company has released a list of achievements where it highlighted the milestones in 2023.
AI takes the wheel
In 2023,
Microsoft Edge
and
Bing
users engaged in more than 1.9 billion Copilot chats which is equal to the total number of websites in 2022.
Furthermore, 1.8 billion AI-generated images were created in the last year, which is more art than the Louvre and Met combined!
Safety first
Microsoft claimed that it thwarted 127 million
phishing attacks
as Edge stood guard, stopping 4 phishing attacks every second to keep users secure. Furthermore, Edge helped users in the US save $400 on average yearly by offering deals on shopping.
Game On!
Microsoft says that 4.7 billion minutes of casual games were played on Edge and 148 million rewards points earned – racking up enough points for 1000 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
“In fact, more people played the Edge surf game, daily, than the entire population of Huntington Beach, California, the original ‘Surf City’,” it said.
AI era dawns
The year 2023 was also about unlocking the limitless potential of AI. Microsoft Edge transcended browsing, becoming your personal AI-powered assistant. This, according to Microsoft, is as significant as the rise of PCs, the web, mobile, and cloud - the dawn of a new era.
“We believe that 2023 will be remembered as the moment we began to harness the power of AI in our daily lives, unlocking new ways to achieve more than we thought possible. And that this era will be as important as PC was in the 80s, web in the 90s, mobile in the 2000s, and cloud in the 2010s,” Microsoft added.
