Unloved Microsoft Edge is much improved – but will anyone use it?

Free EdgeHTML

Seriously Microsoft, just open source the EdgeHTML engine already. Edge is the only major browser left that doesn't use an open source rendering engine, and the only major browser stuck on a single platform.

Nobody chooses an OS for the browsers that run on it, but they do sometimes choose browsers because of the OSes they don't run on.

You will very quickly see folks use it to create a browser for other OSes (even older Windows) and all sorts of other creative things you couldn't imagine, which would likely foster wider adoption, mind share and good-will.

Just saying...
