After a few days of rumors and speculation, the company confirmed yesterday that Microsoft Edge is being rebuilt, and the new version will be based on Chromium (the open source version of Google Chrome).

Microsoft Edge on Windows currently uses the 'EdgeHTML' engine, which is a heavily-modified version of Internet Explorer's 'Trident' engine.
