Legacy Edge Browser from Windows Will Be Removed By Microsoft Starting April 13, 2022 – Microsoft will uninstall (eliminate) the old version of the Edge browser (Edge Legacy) from users’ Windows computers.
The Edge browser that will be uninstalled from the user’s Windows device is the old version (Edge Legacy) which still doesn’t use the Chromium base.
The removal of the Edge Legacy browser from users’ Windows computers will be implemented starting April 13, 2022. This removal is carried out in conjunction with the security update that was released.

New Version Edge Users Unaffected
“When you apply this update to your computer, unsupported Microsoft Edge desktop applications will be removed and a new version of Microsoft Edge will be installed,” Microsoft said.

Replace Edge Legacy with Chromium Version
Earlier in June 2022, Microsoft announced it would begin replacing the Edge Legacy browser on Windows 10 with a Chromium-based version of Edge. For that, the Chorium version of Edge will be included directly through the latest Windows Update release.

For information, the Chromium version of Edge has actually been available since the beginning of this year. But Microsoft still presents it as an option, so users who want to use it need to download it manually first.
