EdgeHTML is a proprietary browser engine from Microsoft that was formerly used in Microsoft Edge, which debuted in 2015 as part of Windows 10.
EdgeHTML is a fork of the MSHTML (Trident) engine of Internet Explorer.[2] It is designed as a software component that enables developers to easily add web browsing functionality to other apps.[3]
In 2018, Microsoft began rebuilding Edge as a Chromium-based browser,[4][5] which meant that EdgeHTML would no longer be used in the Edge browser. This transition was completed in April 2021.[6] Past this date, EdgeHTML does, however, continue to be supported and widely used in Universal Windows Platform apps.[7]
