new Edge for RDS Server 2016/2019
Chrizzly wrote:CarstenVollrath183 YES! We'd love to have this too! We're working with Citrix and users connect to a Windows Server 2016 (and soon 2019) with all the Office and other business tools. And so we need the new Chromium Edge on this server too, otherwise we have to choose a diffrent browser since IE and current Edge are officially reported as dead.
Nope, none of them are officially dead, not even close.

For me, if someone says, that this will be the "last major version", he thinks about the last breath of this tool. Maybe my translation is bad, as EN isn't my mother language. But in my ears this sounds pretty like the end of IE.

And that the "old" Edge won't live beside the new, chromium-based Edge, is for sure. Why else would they give it the same name. They can't call it "New Edge" or "Chromium Edge" for the next 10 years... 😉

though you can wait for newer official statements like that from Microsoft in the future to be more sure but for now that's the most recent one.
HotCakeX I managed to view the video now in IE (both old and new Edge have probs with scrolling 😉 ) and understand what you're saying. And maybe it approves what I assume: They integrate IE in Edge, so they no longer need IE itself as a program the user needs to be aware of. 🙂
- The person in the video says there is gonna be 2 IE (1 normal and 1 inside the Edge chromium) and also 2 Edge. (1 classic and 1 Edge chromium)
