The Chromium based Microsoft Edge on the desktop will create better web compatibility for websites to the Microsoft Edge users and also add less fragmentation of the web for all web developers. The first preview build is expected to be release in early 2019. Be sure to sign up to be notified when preview builds are available for the Edge insiders.
