![]() ![]() Microsoft tells us it's a standard Win32 desktop app, and we're hoping that will tap into Fluent Design APIs for things like Acrylic and Reveal effects throughout its UI. To fans, the biggest news might come from the fact that the new Chromium version of Edge won't be a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. It's no longer a UWP appĬloudwallpaper Dark (Image credit: Windows Central) People using Microsoft Edge (and potentially other browsers) will experience improved compatibility with all websites, while getting the best possible battery life and hardware integration on all kinds of Windows devices.Web developers will have a less-fragmented web-platform to test their sites against, ensuring that there are fewer problems and increased satisfaction for users of their sites and because we'll continue to provide the Microsoft Edge service-driven understanding of legacy IE-only sites, Corporate IT will have improved compatibility for both old and new web apps in the browser that comes with Windows. Ultimately, we want to make the web-experience better for many different audiences. Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Windows, Joe Belfiore, said the following: For example, Microsoft knows that Chrome isn't as good as the current Edge at touch scrolling, so it's going to work on improving that experience in Chromium so that the new Edge doesn't miss out on that smooth scrolling experience. Up until now, Google has been the only major player contributing code to the Chromium project, but now Microsoft is in the game and is ready to commit code to improve Chromium. Microsoft is going to start partaking much more in the development of Chromium, as Chromium is an open-source project. It's likely we'll see the UI change a bit, some old features get removed, and some new features show up, but the number one benefit for moving to Chromium is that web pages will render better using Chromium's Blink rendering engine. Microsoft is sticking with the Edge branding with its new browser, and most users will notice very little change when this new version of Edge is ready to replace the existing version as the default browser on Windows 10. ![]() Players can also experience Faith in 2D this Friday when the hand-crafted animation and old school platform game by Brad Borne, creator of Fancy Pants, goes live at Edge logo in Windows search (Image credit: Windows Central) With a never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, players are drawn into Faith’s dangerous world.
