It’s Microsoft’s new Chromium Edge browser, which the company is now force-feeding users via an automatic update to Windows. Seriously, when I restarted my Windows 10 desktop this week, an app. Microsoft has a new Edge browser, and it’s pretty great. No, not that Microsoft Edge. The old Microsoft Edge, which you’re probably familiar with is the one that shipped with Windows 10. It was one of those newfangled Universal Windows apps Microsoft used to talk about (but we don’t talk about those anymore) and had.

Microsoft has released a new Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge. This new version provides best in class compatibility with extensions and websites. Additionally, this new version provides great support for the latest rendering capabilities, modern web applications, and powerful developer tools across all supported OS platforms.
