Chromium-Based Edge Browser to Be Available by Default with Next Windows 10 Update
Jun. 17, 2020The company rolled out the first Windows 10 20H2 build, the next feature update, just yesterday. It does not bring any major changes except for the fact that Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium, comes baked into the OS by default. It will replace the existing EdgeHTML-based version.
As confirmed in theofficial blog post, “Windows 10, version 20H2 will offer a scoped set of features to improve performance and enhance quality. It will also be the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium.”The latest build is already rolling out to users in the latest Windows 10 Dev channel.
Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium, has received a myriad of feature updates over the past six-odd months. The company has added avertical tab UI, improved the built-in PDF reader,profile switching, sidebar search(coming soon), and more. It’s a feature-rich and memory-efficient browser than would make you want to switch from Chrome. It will supportall your Chrome extensionswithout a hitch, so there’s nothing to worry about in that department.
