Η Microsoft will be released today the new browser Chromium-based Edge for all users of Windows 10. Το ενημερωμένο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Edge θα διαθέτει υποστήριξη για επεκτάσεις του Chrome, θα διαθέτει προφίλ χρηστών και θα προσφέρει ταχύτερη περιήγηση στο Web.
According to a post on the company's blog, only business users will be able to block this upgrade.
In 2018, Microsoft announced plans to use Chromium as the basis for Edge. The same browser Google Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi also use it.
In an interview with the Verge, Joe Belfiore, the company's corporate vice president, said in 2017 that CEO Satya Nadella was frustrated by the “reactions” users about Microsoft Edge and how Chrome is moving forward as a de facto browser for all computers. After much discussion for the pros and cons of the change and in several meetings, the company finally decided to use Chromium as the basis for the new Edge.
Google Chrome currently ranks first in the market share of tvn browsers according to Statcounter. The Edge, on the other hand, has just 2,3% of its market share.
Let's see, will Chromium base change and support for Chrome extensions introduce the upcoming Edge in the browser market? It should be noted that if Microsoft invests more in privacy than Google, we may see Edge catch up with Chrome at some point in the future.
But Google as we mentioned in the morning, will not remain idle…
