With { -brand-name-windows } 10, { -brand-name-microsoft } introduced its { -brand-name-edge } browser to compete with { -brand-name-firefox } and { -brand-name-chrome }, making it the default browser pre-installed on millions of PCs sold. Even so, users were slow to adopt it and { -brand-name-microsoft } eventually announced plans to relaunch { -brand-name-edge } as a { -brand-name-chromium }-based browser ({ -brand-name-chromium } is { -brand-name-google }’s Open Source browser project). Since January of 2020, { -brand-name-microsoft }’s { -brand-name-chromium }-based { -brand-name-edge } has replaced the previous versions of { -brand-name-edge }. Although { -brand-name-edge } is now built on { -brand-name-google }’s { -brand-name-chromium }, a number of unique features do set it apart from { -brand-name-google }’s { -brand-name-chrome } browser.
{ -brand-name-windows } 10:n myötä { -brand-name-microsoft } esitteli { -brand-name-edge }-selaimen kilpaillakseen { -brand-name-firefox }in ja { -brand-name-chrome }n kanssa, asettaen sen esiasennetuksi oletusselaimeksi miljooniin myytäviin tietokoneisiin. Siitä huolimatta käyttäjät omaksuivat sen hitaasti ja lopulta { -brand-name-microsoft } ilmoitti suunnitelmistaan luoda { -brand-name-edge } uudelleen { -brand-name-chromium }-pohjaisena selaimena ({ -brand-name-chromium } on { -brand-name-google }n avoimen lähdekooden selainprojekti). Tammikuusta 2020 lähtien { -brand-name-microsoft }in { -brand-name-chromium }-pohjainen { -brand-name-edge } on korvannut { -brand-name-edge }n aiemmat versiot. Vaikka { -brand-name-edge } on nyt rakennettu { -brand-name-google }n { -brand-name-chromium }in varaan, monet ainutlaatuiset ominaisuudet erottavat sen { -brand-name-google }n { -brand-name-chrome }-selaimesta.
