It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Named the Microsoft Edge Secure internet, the VPN is powered by Cloudflare.
The company promises to delete the diagnostic and support data it collects every 25 hours.
Microsoft says the feature encrypts your connection, helps prevent online tracking, and keeps your location private.
But perhaps the most attractive attribute is that the service is free to use.
Users will need to sign in to their Microsoft account to use the feature.

It could nonetheless give Edge an, um, edge over its rivals.
Chrome, meanwhile, doesnt have an integrated VPN.
