The only thing was the no was not for Chrome. I recall when Google Chrome was first launched, and wondered if the world really needed yet another browser, and clearly the answer was no.

Google Chrome is far and away the leader here, and with Google’s relentless update schedule, there is no indication of this reversing anytime soon. There’s a lot of reasons for this change, and the move is a good one, but it’s also a little sad for the web as a whole.ĭespite being the built-in browser on Windows 10, which is installed on around 700 million active devices, Edge owns just a tiny fraction of the desktop browsing market. This is big news for the company that once dominated the web browsing market. Today Microsoft has officially announced it is going to abandon its EdgeHTML and Chakra scripting engines, and move to Chromium for their first-party web browser, Microsoft Edge.
