With { -brand-name-windows } 10, { -brand-name-microsoft } introduced its { -brand-name-edge } browser to compete with { -brand-name-firefox } and { -brand-name-chrome }, making it the default browser pre-installed on millions of PCs sold. Even so, users were slow to adopt it and { -brand-name-microsoft } eventually announced plans to relaunch { -brand-name-edge } as a { -brand-name-chromium }-based browser ({ -brand-name-chromium } is { -brand-name-google }’s Open Source browser project). Since January of 2020, { -brand-name-microsoft }’s { -brand-name-chromium }-based { -brand-name-edge } has replaced the previous versions of { -brand-name-edge }. Although { -brand-name-edge } is now built on { -brand-name-google }’s { -brand-name-chromium }, a number of unique features do set it apart from { -brand-name-google }’s { -brand-name-chrome } browser.

Per competere con { -brand-name-firefox } e { -brand-name-chrome }, { -brand-name-microsoft } ha introdotto { -brand-name-edge } in { -brand-name-windows } 10, rendendolo il browser preinstallato su milioni di PC venduti. Tuttavia, gli utenti sono stati riluttanti ad adottarlo e { -brand-name-microsoft } infine ha annunciato piani per rilanciare { -brand-name-edge } come browser basato su { -brand-name-chromium }, il progetto di browser open source di { -brand-name-google }. Da gennaio 2020, { -brand-name-edge } basato su { -brand-name-chromium } di { -brand-name-microsoft } ha sostituito le versioni precedenti di { -brand-name-edge }. Benché { -brand-name-edge } sia ora basato su { -brand-name-chromium } di { -brand-name-google }, molte caratteristiche esclusive lo distinguono dal browser { -brand-name-google } { -brand-name-chrome }.
