no, it's not fake.
Edge has been abandoned but will retain it's name.
They've opted to rebuild the browser with the Chromium engine, which
is where the Google Chrome browser started, So it should be much more
accessible in the near future.  It's rumored that it will work
with existing Chrome extensions so there's no need to search for new
extensions, giving it more options...  Anyway, I wouldn't expect
anything to happen until the spring updates.

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.
