Yes. the latest edge is a chromium fork, and there is bidirectional development/patches being submitted by MS. I've heard anecdotally that much of MS' effort has been in de-googling chrome, but given MS history, it is probably being replaced with their own telemetry, with the added bonus of integrating their telemetry on the OS level as well.
