It is unknown if the company's branding will change, or if they will keep the name "Edge" or not. Now, according to a report from WindowsCentral, it's possible that Microsoft may be dropping support for Edge entirely, replacing it with a Chromium-based browser instead. It certainly was universally more liked than Internet Explorer, with Microsoft Edge even making its way to Android and iOS.

Without the likes of ActiveX or Browser Helper Objects, it aimed to be a much more lightweight internet browsing solution. Microsoft Edge was released as part of Windows 10 way back in 2015 and was the spiritual successor to the ever-infamous Internet Explorer. Update 1 (12/6/18 1:15 PM ET): Microsoft has confirmed the report of a new Chromium-based version of Edge on their official blog. Update 2 (4/8/19 12:35 PM ET): After leaking a couple of weeks ago, Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is now officially available for download in dev and canary builds. Update 3 (4/8/19 3:50 PM ET): Microsoft has released the first stable build of its Chromium-based Edge browser for Windows 10 and macOS.
