A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced that it would launch a new Microsoft Edge based Chromium browser, a free project that is basically built on Google Chrome, so Microsoft wants to take advantage of Chrome's features for its browser and then focus on other things like interface, Which make it different and innovative.
Although the new version of the Chromium-based Edge is not available, Neowin has already had access to the new browser's beta version, offering some interesting details.
It was clear that the fact that the browser was based on Chromium would make the new Microsoft browser similar in many respects to Google Chrome, and the fact is that the new edge is much more similar to what we expected than the image that was leaked.
This can be an advantage for Microsoft to look for Chrome users to go to its browser with a very similar interface, but with these interesting developments we should not forget that these images are taken from a trial version, so the final version can be different.
In the picture we can also notice that the placement of the buttons and even the new edge files are basically a copy of what we see in Google Chrome.
One of the things that might have prompted Microsoft to use Chromium is that it can make the Edge browser compatible with Chrome extensions, an important component of its success.
