I am almost sure this is fake news. Notice it says,chromium, not chrome. Also the date. I read cyber corner fixture on NFB newsline from the associated press. Am also a subscriber to Kim Komando’s newsletters and regularly listen to the ABC radio feature tech trends on the tell me line.  Think this is fake news.

Microsoft is building a Chromium-powered web browser that will replace
Edge on Windows 10
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-building-chromium-powered-web-browser-windows-10

Microsoft is throwing in the towel with Edge and is building a new web
browser for Windows 10, this time powered by Chromium.

ZAC BOWDEN
3 Dec 2018

Microsoft's Edge web browser has seen little success since its debut on
Windows 10 in 2015. Built from the ground up with a new rendering engine
known
as EdgeHTML, Microsoft Edge was designed to be fast, lightweight, and
secure, but it launched with a plethora of issues that resulted in users
rejecting
it early on. Edge has since struggled to gain traction, thanks to its
continued instability and lack of mindshare, from users and web developers.

Because of this, I'm told that Microsoft is throwing in the towel with
EdgeHTML and is instead building a new web browser powered by Chromium,
which uses
a similar rendering engine first popularized by Google's Chrome browser
known as
Blink.
Codenamed "Anaheim," this new browser for Windows 10 will replace Edge
as the default browser on the platform, according to my sources, who
wish to remain
anonymous. It's unknown at this time if Anaheim will use the Edge brand
or a new brand, or if the user interface (UI) between Edge and Anaheim
is different.
One thing is for sure, however; EdgeHTML in Windows 10's default browser
is dead.

EdgeHTML is dead ? long live Chromium

Many will be happy to hear that Microsoft is finally adopting a
different rendering engine for the default web browser on Windows 10.
Using Chromium means
websites should behave just like they do on Google Chrome in Microsoft's
new Anaheim browser, meaning users shouldn't suffer from the same
instability
and performance issues found in Edge today. This is the first step
towards revitalizing Windows 10's built-in web browser for users across
PCs and phones.
Edge on iOS and Android already uses rendering engines native to those
platforms, so not much will be changing on that front.

In addition, Microsoft engineers were
recently spotted committing code to the Chromium project
  to help get Google Chrome running on ARM. Perhaps some of that work
will translate over to getting Anaheim running on Windows 10 on ARM, too.

I expect we'll see Microsoft introduce Anaheim throughout the 19H1
development cycle, which Insiders are currently testing in the Fast
ring. This is a
big deal for Windows. Microsoft's web browser should finally be able to
compete alongside Chrome, Opera and Firefox, and those who are all-in
with the
Microsoft ecosystem will finally be getting a browser from Microsoft
that works well when browsing the web.

There's still lots we don't know about Anaheim, and I'm sure we'll hear
more about it officially from Microsoft in the coming weeks. What are
your thoughts
on this? Let us know in the comments.

?Updated:Updated info about Microsoft engineers also committing code to
Chromium.
