Microsoft had said that the April 2021 Windows 10 update, scheduled for April 13, 2021, will remove “the out of support Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application" and replace it with the latest version of Edge browser based on Chromium. The original version of Microsoft Edge (codenamed Spartan) was unveiled back in 2015. The latest development only affects Microsoft Edge Legacy users on the Windows 10 versions as the browser did not rollout for Windows 7 or Windows 8.X. Microsoft had instead rolled out the Chromium-based Edge browser in January 2020 that is said to be faster and more feature-packed.
The company had first announced that it would be discontinuing the product back in August and will be removed from the system automatically via the April 2021 Windows 10 update. Microsoft’s original, non-Chromium Edge browser (aka Edge Legacy) is at the end of the line, and the browser would now stop receiving all the latest features and security updates from hereon.
