Microsoft Edge (or simply nicknamed Edge), based on the Chromium open-source project, also known as The New Microsoft Edge or New Edge, is a proprietary cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft, superseding Edge Legacy.[8][9][10] In Windows 11, Edge is the only browser available from Microsoft.

First made available only for Android and iOS in 2017.[11][12] In late 2018, Microsoft announced it would completely rebuild Edge as a Chromium-based[13][14] browser with Blink and V8 engines, which allowed the browser to be ported from Windows 10 to macOS.[15] The new Edge was publicly released in January 2020,[16][17] and on Xbox as well as Linux[18][19] in 2021.[20][21][22] Edge was also available on Windows 7 and 8/8.1 until early 2023.[23][24]

In February 2023, according to StatCounter, Microsoft Edge became the third most popular browser in the world, behind Apple Safari and Chrome,[25] while as of January 2025, Edge is second most popular PC/desktop web browser with Safari sliding to 3rd place[26] (including 2nd place in the U.S. or rather there tied with Safari). By 2022, Edge was used by 11% of PCs worldwide.[27]
