As of today, Microsoft has officially ended support for the “classic” Edge browser based on the EdgeHTML engine. Writes about this The Verge. This means that there will be no more updates for the web browser.

The “classic” Edge (based on EdgeHTML) was codenamed Spartan. It was part of Windows 10 and was installed along with the operating system as the default browser even before it was called Edge. It will be replaced by a new browser developed using the codebase of the open source Chromium project. Microsoft will keep the name Edge.

Developers will completely get rid of the old browser in the April Windows Update. The company will remove it, replacing it with the new Edge.

In early March, Microsoft released a test version of Edge on Chromium for the Xbox. So far, it is only available to users who participate in the alpha testing of updates for the Xbox.
