First good job with Freda! I've been a very long time user. You are making very good points about dependencies on EdgeHTML/Chakra. But I think they can do a feature freeze on EdgeHTML. In any case, the legacy Edge engine is still being preserved for those that need its features and have already built dependencies on it (similar to Internet explorer mode being implemented in the chromium edge). Since book readers are not extremely fast moving/changing apps, this may not be an expensive option.

The Edge legacy has been on feature freeze for a while now, meaning nothing new was added to it, no new feature.
EdgeHTML and IE are not even comparable.
Internet explorer once had so many users, even +90% market share. EdgeHTML never got more than 10% market share.
that is why IE is still being maintained for compatibility purposes and EdgeHTML Will disappear very much sooner.
another reason for that is the fact that Edge legacy has only been kept active for 3-4 years while IE was active for more than 10 years.
so it is expensive to keep old Edge stuff maintained.
