When Microsoft finally releases the new Chromium-based version of Edge, this will likely be the logo. Thx Paul Thurrott.

GuestNovember 4, 2019 at 4:14 pm #1999324No, it’s a tidal wave of Fixing just one day after Windows 7’s EOL and that’s just like anything new from the folks in Redmond.
I guess that any Windows 7 consumer version folks will not have to worry much about fixing and Edge/Chromium “RTM” issues or maybe MS will allow 7 and 8.1 users to join in the crowd fixing along with the already overtaxed Windows 10 end users who have so much more pain to go through.
Do you know how often a Windows OS end user actually sees a MS QA/QC person? Every time they look in a mirror.

AskWoody LoungerNovember 3, 2019 at 8:44 am #1998310Going to get a bit crowded down there on the old Task Bar. IE11, Edge (the original and unloved) FireFox 70 and now Chredge.
Purposefully never took the Beta’s of Chredge for a Test Drive. Think i’ll wait a while before the inevitable Bugs get “Shook out” and with the brand new “loud” Logo might have to wear sunglasses at first logon of the day. 😉Bluetrix

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-sysupdate-windows-updatesThere’s also no need to keep the IE11 icon. Chromium Edge has an “IE Mode” built in; you can choose which sites should run in IE11. The only things that aren’t supported are IE toolbars, and IE11’s developer tools. Details here:

MemberNovember 4, 2019 at 6:44 pm #1999379Chromium-based means based on Chromium the browser? Or on Chromium OS?
If the former, how different it might be expected to be from Chrome?
Besides that, if I remember correctly, there is going to be a version for Macs as well as for Windows. (Don’t remember hearing anything about one for Linux.)
Ex-Windows user (Win. 98, XP, 7); since mid-2017 using also macOS. Presently on Monterey 12.15 & sometimes running also Linux (Mint).
MacBook Pro circa mid-2015, 15" display, with 16GB 1600 GHz DDR3 RAM, 1 TB SSD, a Haswell architecture Intel CPU with 4 Cores and 8 Threads model i7-4870HQ @ 2.50GHz.
Intel Iris Pro GPU with Built-in Bus, VRAM 1.5 GB, Display 2880 x 1800 Retina, 24-Bit color.
macOS Monterey; browsers: Waterfox "Current", Vivaldi and (now and then) Chrome; security apps. Intego AV-
