Firefox Developer Edition logo for comparison: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Fi...

Oh wow. That’s incredibly similar.

I don't agree, other than being blue and having some gradients.

The Edge logo looks like an "e", not a fox hugging a globe.

The new logo looks good in my opinion. It has earth tones, looks like an "e", has some edges.

I just see ansolutely no reason why I would use microsoft edge

Until Firefox and Chrome can take group policies Edge will have an edge in centrally managed office deployments.

I get the best of both worlds. Access to the dev extensions in the Chrome Store as well as Windows pass-through authentication.

It's an endless joy for me when Microsoft fails to get traction with their new shiny browser and changes something as a fresh start. It's a decent browser but never again IE. Keep rebranding the browser downloading tool, Microsoft. That said, these days I am annoyed by "This browser is not supported, use Chrome" messages. Maybe the the history does not repeat but rhymes after all. Browsers should be made by non-profi…

The new Microsoft Edge is Chromium, so at least you won’t be getting those messages.

It's not really about the technology but about what Microsoft did until someone finally managed to take them down.

Microsoft has a cool CEO and Bill Gates is just a tad short of an angel these days, however a history of suffering should not be forgotten. What Microsoft did was not benign.

They already can?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They're replacing EdgeHTML (the internal engine within Edge) with Blink (the internal engine within Chromium). The name of the overall Edge product isn't changing (to my knowledge).

The name isn't going, but we also are replacing much more than just edgehtml. The new version of edge shares very little code with the old version of edge

Is there any reason Microsoft isn't open sourcing EdgeHTML?
