Microsoft Launches Chromium Based Edge Browser


In December 2018, Microsoft announced its Edge browser based on the Chromium codebase. Along with the announcement, the Company also declared that it would be foregoing the development of its own browser.

Now, slightly a year after the announcement, Microsoft has made the browser available to download for both Windows and Mac. This browser is quite similar to Google Chrome since it is based on the Chromium open-source project.

The first stable build of this new browser is called Microsoft Edge 79 since the Company has decided to go with Chromium versioning. It will be updated in a few weeks.
