Why Did Microsoft Ditch EdgeHTML for Chromium? Microsoft offers a Chromium Edge update blocker toolkit that will set a “DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium” registry value, ensuring PCs don’t automatically download and install the new Edge. However, Microsoft understands that some businesses will want to block their PCs from installing the new Edge. If you ignored the old Edge, you’re free to ignore the new Edge. Windows Update will just replace the old Edge browser on your Windows 10 PC with a new, more modern one that works better. You can stop Windows Update from installing the new Edge if you like, but we don’t recommend it. Can You Stop Microsoft From Installing It?
