Microsoft Edge Legacy (often shortened to Edge Legacy), originally released as simply Microsoft Edge or Edge is a discontinued proprietary cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft. Released in 2015 along with both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, it was built with Microsoft's own proprietary browser engine, EdgeHTML, and their Chakra JavaScript engine.
Microsoft Edge Legacy on desktop was superseded by "The New Microsoft Edge", also known as simply "New Edge" (based on the Chromium open-source project), on January 15, 2020. While on Xbox consoles, it was superseded in September 2021.
The end of Edge Legacy support on Windows 10 Mobile coincided with the end of support for that platform, on January 14, 2020, while support on desktop ended on March 9, 2021, ending a 14 month support transition grace period. Xbox System Software support ended in September 2021, when it was replaced by New Edge.
