Windows 10 always looks for ways to optimize and improve the end user experience by offering various functionalities and improvements both at the level of the operating system in general and the applications integrated into it. One of the most traditional is the web browser which until recently was Microsoft Edge , but underwent a literal change when Edge Chromium was established as the new update when browsing and this is a browser that integrates functions such as the following:
Edge Chromium functions
- Data synchronization between devices.
- Compatibility to install PWA sites.
- Supports a large library of extensions.
- New integrated privacy and security features and more.
This browser is based on Chromium and was distributed on January 15, 2020, making the user experience more like Google Chrome than Microsoft Edge..

Today TechnoWikis will explain how to change the download folder in Edge.

Although sometimes it is not easy to see Edge downloads, having the option to configure the route we can open downloads in Microsoft Edge easily..
