Microsoft has been beta testing its Edge browser based on the Chromium engine for more than 6 months now. Personally, on my Windows 10 machine I gave it some credit over my eternal favorite, Chrome. The company has recently started deploying the new Chromium-based Edge browser to users since the Windows 10 May 2020 Update. But in the future, the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser will be available by default with the next Windows 10 feature update.

The company released the first version of Windows 10 20H2, the next feature update, earlier this week. It does not bring any major changes, except the fact that Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium, is integrated by default in the operating system. It will replace the current version based on the now obsolete EdgeHTML engine.

As confirmed in the official blog post, "Windows 10, version 20H2, will offer an extended feature set to improve performance and enhance quality. It will also be the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. The latest version is already available for Windows 10 Dev channel users.

Chromium-based Microsoft Edge has received a myriad of feature updates over the past six months. The company has added a vertically tabbed user interface, improved the integrated PDF reader, profile switching, sidebar search (coming soon), and more. It's a feature-rich, memory-efficient browser that will make you want to change Chrome.

It will support all your Chrome extensions without any problems, so there's nothing to worry about.
