First Of All, what is Chromium?
Chromium is an open-source browser project that forms the basis for the Chrome web browser. But let’s take a little deeper look at what that means.
When Google first introduced Chrome back in 2008, they also released the Chromium source code on which Chrome was based as an open-source project. That open-source code is maintained by the Chromium Project, while Chrome itself is maintained by Google.
The biggest difference between two browsers is that, while Chrome is based on Chromium, Google also adds a number of proprietary features to Chrome like automatic updates and support for additional video formats. Google also took a similar approach with the Chromium OS, which is an open-source project that forms the basis for their own Chrome OS—the operating system that runs on Chromebooks.
Now, why Microsoft built the new edge using Chromium?
At first, the new name of Edge is "Edge Insider", and as Microsoft announcements that every things changed, and when we return to Edge Insider website we will know why Microsoft go with Chromium.
Microsoft tries to replace IE with Edge but it seems that this didn't meet them ambition, Microsoft has therefore launched a new product "Edge Insider".
I started using the new Explorer, and I hope it's a quantum leap already!
