I've used it for years before Windows Update pushed the new Chromium-based one. It worked well for me, was faster and consumed less memory than the new one.

The only problem with EdgeHTML was google abusing their monopoly, read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18697824

FYI you can revert to the old EdgeHTML-based browser, with a one-liner in an admin console.

I’ve already upgraded to 32GB RAM, migrated bookmarks, found new extensions.

But thanks, will do on a laptop where I have less stuff to migrate, slower CPU with less memory, and sometimes care about power consumption.

To anyone interested, here’s the manual: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-s...

Yeah - I'm not arguing against its technical merits. Dumping it was mostly a business reason - it made zero sense for MS to continue making their own browser engine.
