Windows 10 offers a new browser other than Internet Explorer, which is called Microsoft Edge. Customization of the Edge browser is also possible, as we have seen in Google Chrome. Unlike the Chrome browser, the Microsoft Edge browser offers two types of themes: Themes for Edge and themes for websites. Some of the themes have been designed to change the Edge browser’s appearance, whereas some are designed for changes of color of websites, e.g., dark theme for Google search enables dark mode for Google search in the Edge browser.
