    Hi,
    It's very likely that the new Edge will replace the classic Edge.

     

    some time ago there was a leaked Stable version of the Chromium Edge and it had the same Icon and logo as the classic Edge, it was on Microsoft's servers. that's another clue.

     

    either way, there is a long time before Windows 10 build 20H1 comes out which is in the first half of 2020 and supposedly the replacement will happen starting that build.

    I'm sure with the help of the community and feedbacks, the Devs will make it even better than the classic Edge.


    the release of stable version of Edge chromium browser is not the end of development, it's just the beginning 🙂

     

    Update:

     

    Came across this video:

    https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/sessions/77794

    from Fred Pullen, he suggests that Edge classic and Internet explorer will be there in the OS for more compatibility and flexibility, (mostly for enterprises that are usually slow in adaptation), maybe as an on-demand feature , so only those who need it can active it. currently in Windows 10 insider build 20H1 Internet explorer is an on-demand feature, by that time Edge classic might become one as well.
