With the new Chromium-based Edge, Microsoft is trying to get as far away from the chequered legacy of Internet Explorer as possible. After ditching the EdgeHTML engine in favor of Chromium following a less-than-impressive uptake, the Edge browser is now set to get an all-new logo that looks visually similar to the iconic Firefox symbol than its own spiritual predecessor, the IE. The design, however, still retains its blue hue, albeit, with a bit of green added to the mix.

In case you don’t know it already, Microsoft is deprecating its older Edge browser, which was originally released for Windows 10 in 2015, before being rolled out on Android, iOS and just recently, on macOS. However, with the horror stories about Internet Explorer still fresh in everyone’s minds, the browser never quite got the reception that Microsoft would have hoped for, in spite of bringing several improvements over its predecessor.
