Microsoft Removes Edge Legacy Browser from Windows 10 21H1 Builds Mar 16, 2021 13:11 GMT
Chromium Edge is Microsoft s big bet in the long term
Microsoft has officially removed the legacy version of Edge browser from Windows 10 21H1 builds, with the company now focusing entirely on the Chromium-based replacement.
We’ve known for a while that Edge Legacy was projected to get the ax, and according to an announcement released earlier this year, Microsoft planned to begin the phasing out as soon as this month with preview software and then in April on production devices.
So if you install the latest Windows 10 21H1 build, Edge Legacy is no longer available, as users are now provided with the Chromium-based replacement.

Patch Tuesday A week after Microsoft warned that four zero-day flaws and three others in its Exchange Server were being actively exploited and issued out-of-band remediation, the cloudy Windows biz has delivered software fixes to address 82 other vulnerabilities as part of its monthly Patch Tuesday ritual.
All told, that makes 89 CVEs for the month, 14 of which have been deemed critical. Microsoft says two of these vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-26411 and CVE-2021-27077) are publicly known and five are under active exploitation (CVE-2021-26411, CVE-2021-26855, CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-27065, and CVE-2021-26858).
