Microsoft Edge 79: What's new in the Chromium-based Edge?

Microsoft has released Edge 79, which is based on the Chromium engine instead of its previous EdgeHTML engine. This change brings Microsoft Edge closer to Google Chrome in terms of functionality and compatibility, potentially increasing user adoption and market share. Web developers are encouraged to test their websites for compatibility with the new Chromium Edge browser. The partnership between Microsoft and BrowserStack allows users to access unlimited live testing on Edge 79. Switching to Chromium benefits both Microsoft and its users by improving web standards alignment, reducing bugs, enabling faster releases, increasing OS contribution, and fostering collaboration opportunities with the global Chromium community.
