‣ Published on Dec 7, 2018

Joe Belfiore, Corporate Vice President of Windows, writes:

Today we’re announcing that we intend to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility for our customers and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers.

...

We also expect this work to enable us to bring Microsoft Edge to other platforms like macOS.

We live in a different world now, and Microsoft is winning.
