Microsoft will replace old Edge browser with Chromium version Starting April 2021
Microsoft will automatically remove your old Windows Edge browser starting April 13th by way of an update Microsoft is to replace the browser on that day with the new version based on Chromium, the software behind Google Chrome.
Users who have already downloaded the new Edge browser will not notice much. Only the old version is removed from them. It had been known for some time that Edge Legacy, made with technology from Microsoft itself, would no longer be supported from March 9. The classic Internet Explorer browser has not been updated since November last year. The new Edge has been available for download since 2019 and, according to Microsoft, offers better integration with Windows devices.
Knowing Microsoft, they'll try and default anything OS and everything Browser preference-based to their own browser though, please do be aware of that.
Chromium is currently the market leader in browser software, which means that most websites are optimized for Chromium browsers. This open-source technology is the basis of Chrome, Flock, and Opera, among others.

Good news for web developers in general. old Edge dev tools were a pain to work with. Also ie11 has been finally pushed away from microsoft apps too.

The Chromium version has been made available for a while, so maybe that's what you're thinking of. It just isn't yet the default, at least to my understanding that's the case.
It's good for web developers but not so good for the internet as a whole. Competition is a good thing. When you've got pretty much every player using the Chromium engine, that basically makes it a monopoly. Firefox has been losing ground for a while.

Loving Edge Chromium, been using it for over a year now, zero crashes and a huge improvement over my previous browser.
I came from Google Chrome which started to act up on various websites.
