== Features ==
== Edge Legacy ==
The original Edge (codenamed ''Spartan'') is based on the EdgeHTML rendering engine, a derivative of the Trident engine used by [[Internet Explorer]] that removes most legacy functionality, and the Chakra JavaScript engine introduced in [[Internet Explorer 9]]. Following the introduction of the new Chromium-based Edge, it is referred to as Microsoft Edge Legacy and is unsupported as of 2023.

=== Adobe Flash Player and Internet Explorer ===
Edge featured an integrated Adobe Flash Player (with an internal whitelist allowing Flash applets on Facebook websites to load automatically, bypassing all other security controls requiring user activation) until its removal by January 2021. However, Edge remained alongside [[Internet Explorer]] on Windows 10 for compatibility until its removal by 2023.
 
=== Chromium version ===
On 6 December 2018, Microsoft announced a plan to rebuild Edge from scratch, based on [[w:Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]]. The plan called for the new Edge to be available for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, as well as "other platforms like macOS". The first preview version of the new browser was officially released on 8 April 2019, although a build had already leaked two weeks prior. The final version was released on 15 January 2020.

Microsoft Edge includes the Internet Explorer Mode, which uses the Trident engine of [[Internet Explorer 11]] to display websites. Edge can be configured to display selected websites in Internet Explorer Mode, if they have trouble with the Blink engine. It is only available for Windows, intended for enterprise usage and to replace the Internet Explorer 11 app on Windows.
