So most of these techniques used to have the problem that on Windows "any browser" was always "Internet Explorer"; but while I don't disagree that this is still an issue, it is much much much less of an issue now that Internet Explorer is Edge and Edge is Chromium (which I am not saying is a good state of affairs for the web as a whole, but makes this use case not fall as easily to this complaint).

But I don't think Edgium is replacing Edge/IE as the system web component. It's no different than having Chrome installed except it replaced the Edge icon in the start menu instead of making a new one.

In each case, the new thing is added with a new interface, and the old remains. In this case, the new thing is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/hosting/webv....
