About this tag
EdgeHTML is Microsoft's legacy web rendering engine that powered the original Edge browser before the switch to Chromium. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover the formal deprecation of EdgeHTML components, including Legacy Web View, EdgeHTML DevTools, and legacy Progressive Web Apps. Microsoft now directs developers to migrate to WebView2 and Chromium-based PWAs. Threads also reference EdgeHTML 18 from the Windows 10 October 2018 Update and the introduction of an EdgeHTML-based WebView for .NET WinForms and WPF apps. The tag reflects the transition away from Microsoft's proprietary engine toward modern, Chromium-based web integration in Windows.
