Chromium-Based Microsof Edge Released

[Corrine]

As announced previously, the long-awaited new Microsoft Edge Chromium-based browser has been released. For consumers, it will be installed in a future update to Windows 10, following a measured roll-out via Windows Update over the next several months.

Having daily used the development version of Microsoft Edge since it was initially made available, the Chromium-based version has proved to be a definite improvement. Learn about the new features by following the "Learn More" links at Microsoft Edge Browser Features.

If you don't want to wait for Windows Update, you can download the new Edge browser today. It is available for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, macOS, iOS and Android from the download page at Download New Microsoft Edge Browser | Microsoft.

Finally! Now I won't have to worry as much about IE-specific issues

I was never an IE user (unlike someone else we know, right @jcgriff2 ) but have been testing the Dev releases from the start. Although there are features of Pale Moon that I use constantly that aren't likely to be available in Edge, it is a good browser and I believe it will continue to get even better.
