The chromium version of edge is already freely available from Microsoft. I've been using it as my default browser for several weeks, it is really promising.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
It will give IE holdouts something to switch to that's easier for Developers. Also the edge chromium has different privacy settings and other neat little account management and UI bells and whistles. I think their intent is to Port over all those unique things from the original Edge. And MS has already committed code back to the original chromium project. It's nice to have the same old blink and V8 engines powering my browser, but the renewed Vigor of a desperate Microsoft developing features. Google has gotten lazy and barely iterated much on Chrome in years, besides consistently implementing new browser standards. Which will now also work perfectly in Edge. It's the best of both worlds

Waiting for Edge to come, finally something that would compete with chrome.
That's sarcasm right?
Well, Edge is currently being rebuilt on top of Chromium, thus it'll be more or less the same thing then.

No, I've been using it for the last 2 months at work. It's faster than Chrome, I've been able to get my extensions, etc.
There's still a lot of work to do for features etc, but they have to make sure to not go the way of Mozilla.
You mean now that it'll be running on Chromium and is basically the same thing with different clothes? :(
