Edge is dead — long live Chromium

Microsoft's Edge web browser has seen little success since its debut on Windows 10 in 2015.  Edge was designed to be fast, lightweight, and secure, but due to its instability users had rejecting it. Chromium is an open-source Web browser project started by Google, to provide the source code for Google Chrome browser. The two browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences in features and logos, and they have different licensing. Microsoft could soon shift to a Chromium-based browser in Windows 10. Thus using Chromium in Windows 10 means websites should behave just like they do on Google Chrome in Microsoft's new browser, meaning users shouldn't suffer from the same instability and performance issues found in Edge today.
