Classic Edge no longer appears in future development builds of Windows 10
Table of contents:
Windows 10 is getting closer to the arrival of the spring update, an update that may leave an important change that will come with the Microsoft operating system for autumn: it is aboutthe definitive disappearance of the classic Microsoft Edge
The classic version of Edge, which we also know as Edge Legacy, has been living side by side with the new Chromium-based Edge. Both the new version and the one based on EdgeHTML have been usable, although it is true that for some time now, Edge Legacy has been losing ground.Now with the 21H2 branch of Windows 10 it seems to be gone forever
Does not appear in future trial versions
And right now, the most recent versions of Windows 10 arrive with Chromium-based Edge under their arms and those who had been using EdgeHTML-based Edge looked like User data from earlier browser versions is transferred during the setup process.
Windows 10 can currently use both Internet Explorer, Legacy Edge and Chromium-based Edge. Something that with the 20H2 branch of the operating system, which we should see at the end of 2021, will cease to be a reality.
Here's what we can see from our analysis of the new language pack released in Windows 10 preview builds for branch 21H2 that they have discovered in Aggiornamienti Lumia.A Windows 10 development in which no trace of Edge Legacy appears. A symptom that may refer to its future disappearance and abandonment by Microsoft.
And although Edge Legacy is still included in preview versions, everything seems to indicate that it will no longer be with future versions updates that arrive in the test program.
The goal, as noted in Windows Latest , may be Microsoft's attempt to unify the web browsing experience across Windows while improving performance and security, which would mean the demise of Edge Legacy
In addition, we must also talk about Internet Explorer, since Microsoft plans to go reducing the capacities and functions and according to the data sheet route, Microsoft 365 services and online apps will no longer be supported in Internet Explorer 11, with the user being directed to the new Chromium-based Edge.
