You know, you shouldn't write those so close together in a

OH, NO, it's happened! Chroge!!!

Yeah, Microsoft introduced Edge as their new web browser to replace
Internet Explorer. Edge used the EdgeHTML engine. Microsoft decided to
quit trying to play catchup with HTML5 compatibility, surrendered, and
went to the Blink engine that Chrome uses.

"EdgeHTML: Discontinued"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Edge

"Originally built with Microsoft's own EdgeHTML and Chakra engines,
Edge is currently being rebuilt as a Chromium-based browser, using the
Blink and V8 engines, based upon WebKit."

Well, like Mozilla switching to WebExtensions in v57 Quantum, maybe Edge
will be able to use the numerous extensions that Chrome has. Depends on
the extension authors, though. However, changing the rendering engine
doesn't mean the rest changes, too.

"As of April 2019, according to StatCounter, Edge still has lower
market share than Internet Explorer and even with the market share of
the both combined would only manage 3rd place after Firefox."

Current StatCounter stats:
Chrome 62.7%
Safari 15.89%
Firefox 5.07%
Samsung Internet 3.38%
UC Browser 3.16%
Opera 2.55%

Edge and IE don't even rate getting on the chart, and Firefox severely
lags Chrome. Is Mozilla the last holdout from using the Blink engine
versus their Gecko engine? Well, assuming you don't go with ancient
versions of a web browser, like sticking with Opera with its Presto
engine. I'm wondering what's going to happen, not what has happened.
I haven't bothered to investigate when Mozilla moves to their Servo
engine, but Rust looks like an interesting programming language.
