The difference between Win10 Edge browser and EdgeHTML

▲The Edge browser in Win10 Preview 10547 can't display the EdgeHTML version number

Microsoft Edge Project Manager Kyle Pflug mentioned in the blog that Edge and EdgeHTML are two different. thing. Edge is a browser, and EdgeHTML is a rendering engine for processing and rendering web page elements.

Since the two are fundamentally different, their updated version is completely different. If a website relies on the engine version number, not the browser version, it may cause a website error.

▲The Edge browser in the Microsoft blog can already display the EdgeHTML engine version

Since the EdgeHTML version on the user agent string changes too frequently, Microsoft requires Web developers not to rely on the version number. Instead, make a judgment based on the browser version number. Microsoft will also provide the EdgeHTML version number in the future Win10 version of the Edge browser settings.

The above is an introduction to Win10 Edge browser and EdgeHTML, I hope to help you better distinguish between Edge browser and EdgeHTML.
