So, when we show you which version of Edge you have, we are checking which version of EdgeHTML you have and then mapping that to the actual version of Edge, making sure you've got the most accurate information possible. Edge's user agent string only provides the version number of the EdgeHTML rendering engine. The Edge browser uses the EdgeHTML rendering layout engine to show websites. With the switch to the Chromium base this is no longer relevant. Our user agent parser maps the version of EdgeHTML to the actual version of Edge. UPDATE: This following section is now out of date, but is preserved for historical reference (at least for now.). This is why all of a sudden Edge has a version number much higher than it used to be. This is why now both Edge and Chrome have very similar version numbers - the numbers are in fact based on the version of Chromium that they're both using. Chromium has always provided the underlying technology for Google's "Chrome" Browser, and now it's used for the Edge browser as well.īecause of this, the Edge team have decided (wisely!) to make Edge's version number be very similar to the version number of Chromium that it's based on. Microsoft Edge's version number used to be 44, however with the release of the "new" version of Edge (in early 2020), Microsoft's Edge development team have decided to base a lot of the Edge Browser on the "Chromium" browser project.

Keeping Edge up to dateĮdge is a part of Windows 10, so as long as you make sure Windows 10 is always up to date, you should always have the latest version of Edge as well! Edge is the default browser on the Microsoft platforms (Windows and Xbox One) and adds a lot of features which were lacking in Internet Explorer.
