Open a Web Page
Although you usually navigate web pages by clicking links, if you know the address of a specific page, you can type it into Microsoft Edge to display it. Every web page is uniquely identified by an address composed of four parts: the transfer method (usually https, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), the website domain name, the directory where the page is located on the server, and the page filename. The domain name suffix most often used is .com (commercial), but other common suffixes include .gov (government), .org (nonprofit organization), .edu (education), and country domains such as .ca (Canada).
