Microsoft turning to Chromium for next system browser as Edge fails to gain traction

Microsoft had high hopes for its Edge browser which was built for speed, touch, and keyboard functionality as well as modern standards. Sadly Edge had a lot of issues and since its inception in 2015, failed to gather momentum as browsers like Chrome and Firefox proved to be better options on Windows 10.

Microsoft is reportedly building a replacement for Edge but this time it will use Chromium, the underpinning technology of Google's Chrome, as the engine that runs it browser. This is no surprise as the mobile Edge browsers on iOS and Android use browser technology from those platforms. Personally, I liked Microsoft Edge and loved it's ability to make things easier to read by stripping images and formatting. I just didn't like how it was so flaky with blogging software and web-based CMS solutions. Here's hoping Microsoft can get back in the browser game.
