Microsoft ends support for original cross-platform Edge browser

Microsoft has ended support for its original cross-platform Edge browser, also called Legacy Edge, the company had launched as a replacement for Internet Explorer 11.

In August last year, the company announced that support for the Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application will end on March 9, 2021.

Legacy Edge will no longer receive security updates, and people using it should begin the process of switching to other browsers.

“To replace this out of support application, we are announcing that the new Microsoft Edge will be available as part of the Windows 10 cumulative monthly security update on April 13, 2021,” Microsoft said in an update on Tuesday.
