Microsoft Edge Legacy

Edge was the default browser for Windows 10.

It was built with Microsoft's browser engine EdgeHTML and their Chakra JavaScript engine.

The first versions of Edge (12-18) are now referred to as "Edge Legacy".

Edge Legacy was not available for Windows 7 or Windows 8.

The Microsoft support for Edge Legacy ended on March 9, 2021.

Future Windows updates will replace Edge Legacy with The New Edge.


The New Edge

The new Microsoft Edge is Chromium based with Blink and V8 engines.

It was released in January 2020, and is available for Windows 7, 8, and 10.

It can also be downloaded for macOS, iOS, and Android.

The new Edge follows the Modern Lifecycle Policy (updates are released on an approximate six-week cycle).
