Don't really care who's variant it is, or how much makeup it's wearing. Does it work better than Edge does now? Lately I've been using Chrome more and more WITHOUT any problems or the little spinning circle or the dots circling while I wait for a page to load.
Still eager to try it, but, I don't think it's gonna blow my mind!
Whose browser will be most quickly updated to keep up with security vulnerabilities - Microsoft or Google?
Microsoft is rebuilding its Edge browser on Chromium. The software maker has been testing versions of this browser internally at Microsoft, and now The Verge has secured an exclusive first look at the early work thanks to a source who wishes to remain anonymous. While the previously leaked screenshots made Edge look very similar to Chrome, Microsoft is adding its own touches and animations to make it look and feel like a Windows browser.
When you first install the Chromium version of Edge, Microsoft will prompt you to import favorites, passwords, and browsing history from Chrome or Edge (depending on your default). The setup screen also prompts you to pick a style for the default tab page before you start browsing.

The problem with the current Edge model is that it can only be updated when the OS receives updates, this new way means it can receive independent updates.
PS C:\Users\cliff> cd E:\Downloads
PS E:\Downloads> MicrosoftEdgeSetup.exe /install "appguid={65C35B14-6C1D-4122-AC46-7148CC9D6497}"
In my case the downloader freezes after trying to download the actual installer after a couple of minutes of thying, but it's still fun to try:
By the way downloader is now version 1.3.101.1
I keep forgetting to add ./ before the command in powershell
