I had hoped MS dumped Edge onto github.

  EdgeHTML, to be precise. I couldn't care less for the Edge UI (IMHO it is a poor clone of Chrome) but seeing MS's browser engine open-sourced would've been far more interesting --- even if it's only IE6.

    Would be interested to see how much of Mosaic was left in IE6.

    While it’s not EdgeHTML, they do have the code for ChakraCore out there. https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/5865 https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/5865 I think EdgeHTML will continue to be used by Microsoft for various scenarios, just not in their Edge browser. These scenarios include usage in WinForms and WPF apps https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2018/05/09/modern-webview-winforms-wpf-apps/ https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2018/05/09/modern-webvie...

  I had hoped MS dumped Edge onto github. Last week: “If Microsoft really cared about open source, they’d deprecate Edge, adopt an open-source browser, and work to get improvements pushed upstream.” Today: “If Microsoft really cared about open source, they’d release the source for Edge.”
