Edge download manager

Edge has a built-in download manager that appears as a flyout panel. To use it:

• Click the downloads icon (downward arrow) in the Edge toolbar to see active downloads
• Press Ctrl+J or Alt+J to open the Downloads page directly
• Click the folder icon to open the file location
• Drag files from the download panel directly into any folder or application

Edge is Chromium-based

Modern Edge is built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome. This means:

• Same performance - Edge and Chrome load pages at the same speed
• Same extension support - Chrome Web Store extensions work in Edge
• Edge-specific features - Edge has built-in vertical tabs, Collections, and sleeping tabs that Chrome doesn't have
• Better RAM usage - Edge is optimized to use less memory than Chrome on Windows

Edge download settings

1. Open Edge and click the three-dot menu in the top-right.
2. Click Downloads to see recent downloads, or click Settings for more options.
3. Under Downloads, you can change the default download location.
4. Toggle "Ask me what to do with each download" to choose the save location every time.

Edge privacy and security

• SmartScreen - Edge's built-in security feature protects against malicious downloads. TikItDown is a safe site and is not blocked.
• Tracking Prevention - Edge blocks trackers by default. TikItDown works with all protection levels.
• InPrivate mode - downloads work in InPrivate windows. Files are deleted when you close the window.
• Password Monitor - unrelated to downloads, but a nice Edge feature that alerts you to compromised passwords.

Edge vs Chrome for TikTok downloads

Edge and Chrome are nearly identical for downloading TikTok videos since they share the same engine. Edge is slightly lighter on system resources and comes pre-installed on Windows. If you already use Edge, there's no reason to install Chrome just for TikItDown. See our Chrome guide for Chrome-specific tips.
