Edges first, or just EF, is a method where all edges of the cube are solved before the corners.
EF is not well suited for advanced speedsolving, the first step is very easy but the corners needs a unplesant number of moves to be solved after that in most cases. In FMC, when the time to look ahead is of no or little importance it is useful if many corners can be solved together with the edges, then it may be only one or possibly two corners cycles left in the end, that may be solved using insert algorithms.
