Microsoft's new version of Edge, codenamed "Anaheim," has leaked in screenshots, and it has many people worried about the future of Edge. Fear not, we're here to explain a few things.
This week, screenshots of an internal development version of the new Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge, codenamed "Anaheim," leaked online. They gave us all a first proper look at the work Microsoft is doing regarding its new browser. Unfortunately, those screenshots show us very little we haven't already seen before, thanks to the nature of switching to Chromium as a base for a new browser; it looks exactly like Chrome ... at least for now.
But fear not, if Microsoft does a good job here, the shipping version of Anaheim won't look anything like Chrome. The reason the early builds of Anaheim look like Chrome is that they're both based on the open-source Chromium project, which already has a UI, and Chrome uses that. Since work on Anaheim relatively recently started, Microsoft hasn't yet had time to design its own UI to stick on top, or build out any of the unique features the current Edge has that differentiate it from the other web browsers, like inking directly onto web pages, and perhaps even a set-tabs-aside feature.
