So if you’re excited to give it a whirl – consider yourself an early adopter – or just nerdy enough to want to “kick the tires”, you may want to check this out. This flavour of Edge is available now as a canary release. Joe Belfiore, Corporate Vice President, Windows We look forward to people starting to kick the tires and will be refining the feature set over time based on the feedback we receive. Other than that, it does for the most part ‘steer’ like Chromium – so I don’t know what has been tweaked – but will continue to play with it. The sync option is there for bookmarks, but not yet for anything else (this is coming though). While that is far from scientific, it’s actually not an unpleasant experience – which, did surprise me. And I wanted to be fair (which was hard because I’ve never liked Edge) – so this whole article (research, artwork and writing) and my daily driver browsing have been written in the Canary release of the Edge. It’s no secret I’m a fan of Chrome – so when I heard that the ‘new’ Edge would be based on Chromium, I was keen intrigued to try it. So, adopting an already established, better, the base is not necessarily a bad idea – albeit it somewhat redundant one? Is there a need for another Chromium browser? On the one hand, it’s quite an exciting change because…well, Edge has always kind of sucked in comparison. We’re working directly with the teams at Google and the broader Chromium community on this work and appreciate the collaborative and open discussions. Back in December 2018, Microsoft announced that they would be building their Edge browser based on the Chromium open-source project (as Google’s Chrome is).
