The single engine world domination plan takes one step further today.
I think there's a tongue-in-cheek joke about IE/Edge being so bloated as is, that the only route they could take was to slap electron on top for even more memory usage. All jokes aside, are they still using Chakra or switching to V8? I know there was a ton of work in node.js to make it work with chakra, not to mention edge was one of the early adopters of many ES2015/ES6 features, it seems odd to me to abandon all of…
Seriously, this means that chrome has more or less complete market dominance at this point.
It looks nice so far, but Microsoft really needs to drop the E logo, and maybe even the Edge name. Both already have negative connotations; and I don't think Microsoft can now claim that it makes it easier to find access to the internet. Especially when Chrome and Safari on tablets and phones look nothing like the iconic blue E, and yet late age boomers can still figure out the devices.

I would use it for browser testing websites if it's renders identically to the Windows version.
So in the end, a mac version of edgeium just adds yet another browser to the test matrix columns....
Seriously, why is MS doing this? Internet Explorer died years ago, Edge never took off, and Google isn't about to give up their market share for spyware without a fight. It's like MS thinks this is Browser Wars 3.0. Heaven help me if it turns out that MS seems to be doing something comparatively good.
This offloads a lot of work to the open-source Chromium project, allowing Microsoft to just skin it and add whatever else they need.

Can we finally stop saying safari is the new ie, and recognize that chrome is now literally the new IE? Seriously, this means that chrome has more or less complete market dominance at this point.

They're using V8. https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/5865#issue-38...
