Microsoft Finally Ditching their Browsers and Building their own version of Chrome

Microsoft is building its own Chrome browser to replace Edge

Microsoft is building its own Chromium browser to replace the default on Windows 10. The software giant first introduced its Edge browser three years ago, with a redesign to replace Internet Explorer and modernize the default browsing experience to compete with Chrome and others. While the modern look and feel has paid off for Edge, the underlying browser engine (EdgeHTML) has struggled to keep up with Chromium. Microsoft is finally giving up and moving its default Windows 10 browser to Chromium.

Adopting Chromium as the default rendering engine for Windows 10 will end Microsoft’s hostility towards Chrome. Microsoft has regularly pushed notifications to Windows 10 usersto attempt to convince them not to use Chrome, and Microsoft pulled Google’s Chrome installer from the Windows Store, because it violated store policies. Those policies restrict rival store browsers to using Microsoft’s own Edge rendering engine.

Thank goodness

It's not like they have to do much, it's basically going to be Chrome without Microsoft fighting it on their OS. Hopefully this means even better resource/memory management on Windows going forward

Is it gonna be a resource hog like Chrome?

Is it gonna be a resource hog like Chrome?

Exactly. That's one category Edge seemed to do well at

It's over. Their new browser is just gonna be Chrome with a new shell on it.

Hell, most browsers today outside of Firefox run on Chrome's Blink engine. Google has the web completely on their grasp.
