Read the full changelog

Ever since Mozilla Firefox, followed by Google Chrome, started luring users away from Internet Explorer, Microsoft has been trying to bring them back. While Edge was an ambitious project, it failed to convince enough users to return to the default Windows browser. The reasons for this are varied, but among the main ones is definitely the EdgeHTML engine used to power it.

After trying for a long time to make things work, Microsoft has finally relented and switched to Chromium and its Blink engine. They have assured users that Edge will still look and function more or less the same, but changes are inevitable.

One less browser engine for developers to deal with

When coding a website, developers have to make sure that it works in every browser out there, or at least the major ones. The main engines to look out for are Google’s Blink, Mozilla’s Gecko, Apple’s WebKit and Microsoft’s EdgeHTML. With the latter on the way out, creating new websites and maintaining compatibility will be that little bit easier.

There are advantages to switching to Blink for Microsoft as well. Implementing new web standards will now be simpler, as everything will be available in the latest Chromium release, presuming it is kept up-to-date by the Edge development team.

Microsoft

Not much has changed when it comes to looks

Most Edge users have never had many complaints about the browser’s visual design, and the UI has always been one of its strong suits. It is understandable, therefore, that Microsoft is trying to keep everything much the same in this regard.

The browser isn’t going to be 100% identical to its EdgeHTML counterpart, but you won’t spot too many differences before accessing its various menus. However, the Chromium-inspired settings page has replaced the old Edge sidebar, which many users will see as an improvement.

Microsoft

Visual customization is somewhat limited at the moment

If there is one area that still needs some work, it’s user personalization. Aside from toggling the home button and favorites bar, there isn’t much else that can be changed, apart from the default fonts.

The dark theme, which originally could only be enabled from the edge://flags page, is now an option in the browser's settings. Edge can either stick to the default system setting or let you select whichever theme you prefer.

Feels fast, and RAM usage is similar or lower than Chrome’s

At first glance, the new Edge runs smoothly and pages load quickly, as expected from the very popular engine. Essentially, it feels just like Chrome, which is great news for users who are thinking of switching browsers.

While RAM usage varies quite a lot, it seems to be lower than Chrome’s when a large number of tabs are open, and higher when only one or two are active at the same time. It seems to do better than the old EdgeHTML variant across the board. However, keep in mind that RAM usage is affected by a number of parameters, so your results may differ.

A plethora of new extensions for Edge users

It is no secret that the Chrome Web Store outshines all other such repositories when it comes to the number of available extensions. If you can’t find an add-on here, you are unlikely to find it anywhere else.

Naturally, only Chromium-based browsers support these extensions, and Edge is now one of them. While Microsoft still promotes its proprietary store, users are free to install Chrome extensions as well.

Same Edge look with entirely different inner workings

Microsoft Edge 42+

So far, Microsoft’s decision to switch to Chromium is looking like a wise one. The new engine hasn’t changed too much about the browser’s design and feel, and it opens a whole new range of possibilities and promises good things for the project’s future.

Read more about Microsoft Edge

As most users already know, Microsoft Edge is an Internet browser developed for Windows 10. The company is now also making it available for Android as well to take advantage of the Windows 10 integration with the mobile operating system.

Users can choose to continue their work or browsing experience on Windows 10 when the two platforms have been paired. Other features included in Microsoft Edge for Android consists of the hub view, with all the favorites, history, and books under the same roof, a QR code reader, and even voice search. Of course, a private mode is available as well that doesn’t save any kind of data on the device.

  • Continue to browse from Android on Windows 10
  • Use the Hub View for an integrated experience
  • InPrivate mode ensures nothing is save on the mobile device
