[FIXED] Why Edge on Android is using super old Chromium engine?
Edge on Android is now on the latest version, the same as Edge desktop, everything is new and up to date. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/new-edge-canary-mobile-version-availab...
Why is that important? For me the main priority is the fully working browser with features I want... and Edge for Android is fine, all is working, it is fine, it has features which I need... why do I need to care about core version number or whatever else? Why to change something what is working?!
- Why not?
If everyone followed the idea that "if it's working don't fix it" then nothing would progress in the world, because everything would just keep working the way they were.
why make a new 108 megapixel camera when the 12 megapixel camera is already working fine?
my main concern about engine/core version is the security updates and vulnerability that get patched in each version of Chromium.
my other concern is the features and technologies that are supported/added in each new version of Chrome/Chromium, while Microsoft Edge on mobile misses them.Sorry, but in my opinion Edge browser is for "common users" not for pro-users... for this purpose there are anothers products... thats why we will not see some features (majority) which are mentioned here in Edge forum corner.
There is no need to be progressive, many new features and standards are not even supported by other browsers so there is no real support from web developers... Microsoft should follow these standars but do not push them hard.
- By the way, this is one recent incident in security vulnerabilities in Chromium
