I wonder if they went with Edge so they could keep the 'e' icon? I could only imagine the confusion less computer-savy customers would have if they could no longer find the 'e' icon to access the internet.
- josefresco 11y ago"the blue e" is how pretty much every "normal" person I know refers to Internet Explorer.
- vinceguidry 11y agoMy guess is that the icon is going to be something like a blue capital-e. Just similar enough to the familiar logo that end-users will take to it immediately, while different enough that tech staff will be able to tell the difference.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoMaybe it's called Edge because it integrates Edge.js somehow? "Edge.js - Run Node.js and .NET in-process" - http://tjanczuk.github.io/edge/ http://tjanczuk.github.io/edge/ (I know that TJ worked at Microsoft, but I'm not sure if Edge.js is a Microsoft effort or not...)
