Microsoft has put together a proof-of-concept browser that leverages the EdgeHTML engine used with Edge to let developers build their own browser-like UWP (Universal Windows Platform) applications.
Edge has been getting a high amount of praises from all sides recently, mainly due to its speed. While not available for all platforms, many of us cannot dispute these claims until we install Windows 10 and test it for ourselves.
The main culprits for Edge's speed are Microsoft's new browser engine, EdgeHTML, the older Chakra JavaScript engine, and its Universal Windows Platform.
To let developers truly get a grasp of what these tools are capable of, Microsoft has created an open-source browser that runs as a UWP application and uses the platform's WebView control to interact with the EdgeHTML engine.
