[dba-Tech] Edge

[Stuart McLachlan]

The new Edge ain't the old Edge. 

The "old Edge" used Microsoft's proprietary EdgeHTML engine.
They are now  developing a "new Edge" using the Chromium engine

IOW, effectively a totally different browser with the same name.

The "new Edge" based on Chromium is currently in Beta which is the one Gustav points to.
