Microsoft is asking for user input and feedback to help it shape the future of its Edge browser, which debuted alongside Windows 10. After having announced a dramatic shift that will see Edge use Google’s open-source Chromium rendering engine, Microsoft is asking users and developers for input and feedback.
After announcing its plans to rebuild Edge on Windows 10 by using Google’s open-source Chromium engine, Microsoft is soliciting the help of its Windows Insiders community to shape the development of its browser. Microsoft created a sign-up page for users to become an Edge Insider to test preview builds of the browser.
Microsoft announced this week that it was shifting away from its own EdgeHTML rendering engine to develop the browser to use Google’s Blink rendering engine moving forward. Though this is a dramatic shift for Microsoft, which has been pushing the Edge browser since Windows 10 debuted, the company justified this change, noting that the move will help to “create better web compatibility for our customers, and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers.
