If you have any family-or colleagues who need a little "extra support"-who are still depending on Legacy Edge, it might be a good time to check in on them and do a little hand-holding before the old beast is gone forever. Windows Update is scheduled to automatically remove Legacy Edge on next month's Patch Tuesday. By contrast, and despite its relative newborn status, Chromium-based Edge has already hit 3.4 percent-closing in on Firefox's much-diminished 3.8 percent, as of February 2021. On April 29, 2015, at Microsofts Build Conference, the company revealed that Spartan would be officially named Microsoft Edge, with a logo reminiscent of.
According to GlobalStats, legacy Edge peaked at well below 2.5 percent marketshare-less than, for example, Opera. The logo was actually the last thing that. Unlike the current, Chromium-based Edge, it had no upstream project-the entire browser, up to and including the rendering engine, was a Microsoft design.ĭespite being Windows 10's default browser, Spartan never achieved significant marketshare, let alone the crushing dominance once enjoyed by Internet Explorer. The new Edge team is putting together an awesome piece of software and I really appreciate how they appear to be bucking the normal Windows development trend of halfassing or ignoring certain elements that generally lead to the vat of inconsistencies that plague a lot of Microsofts desktop software. Further Reading Microsoft’s “Project Spartan” browser is now called Microsoft EdgeThe deprecated version of Edge, originally named Project Spartan, was developed and shipped as Windows 10's default browser in 2015. The software giant originally unveiled its Edge icon more than four years ago, and it’s fair to say it was a logo that clinged to the past of Internet Explorer.
