Microsoft Edge is a proprietary, cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft. It was first released in 2015 as part of Windows 10 and Xbox One and later ported to other platforms as a fork of Google\’s Chromium open-source project: Android and iOS,[5][6] macOS, older Windows versions (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later),[7][8] and most recently Linux.[9][10] It was created as the successor to Internet Explorer (IE).

Edge was initially built with Microsoft\’s own proprietary browser engine, EdgeHTML, and their Chakra JavaScript engine.[11] In late 2018, it was announced that Edge would be completely rebuilt as a Chromium-based[12][13] browser with Blink and V8 engines. The new Edge was publicly released in January 2020,[14][15] and on Xbox platforms in 2021.[16][17] Microsoft has since terminated security support for the original browser (now referred to as Microsoft Edge Legacy),[18] and in Windows 11 it is the default web browser (for compatibility[19][20] with Google Chrome).[21]

In May 2022, according to StatCounter, Microsoft Edge became the second most popular browser in the world, overtaking Apple\’s Safari (in some countries, such as the United States, Edge is the 3rd most popular, where it has a 14% share, slightly behind Safari\’s 16% share). As of September 2022, Edge is used by 11 percent of PCs worldwide.[22]
