Old one is, of course, kept for compatibility reasons.
- the_duke 6y agoYes, but it is not installed by default. You have to install it separately, at least for now,which makes things a lot more complicated if you want your app to rely on it.
- encom 6y agoI'm moderately certain that Chromium is installed by default on new installs of Windows now.
- Klonoar 6y agoWebView2 does not use that Chromium, however. It's slightly absurd, and you should direct the "WTF?" to Microsoft for this.
- oldmanhorton 6y agoEdge is pushed to the vast majority of PCs, and on those machines, I believe it provides a system-level webview2 component. You can choose to package your own webview2 into your app if you want the extra compatability that offers at expense of app size and ram usage
