This issue occurs because a lot of developers aren’t always always focusing on testing in Edge, which has its own problematic quirks that are dissimilar to any other browser. Users are likely run into slow or broken pages that aren’t built for Edge, and when a lag or crash occurs they leave and move over to Chrome or a comparable browser. Website (and browser) bounce rate will decrease on this version of Edge running on Chromium, the open source projects behind Google Chrome, because it’ll be running on the same speed and ease of its biggest competitor. User experience will be more like the Chrome experience, which a very user friendly browser hence why it’s the most used Internet browser. This major switch by Microsoft means a lot of positive changes to users and developers.

Microsoft will be keeping the Edge brand alive, but the new browser will use Google's Blink rendering engine and V8 JavaScript engine. Earlier this month, Windows Central announced that Edge will no longer be the browser we’ve all grown to know and tolerate since its bundled release with Windows 10 in 2015.
