Microsoft Edge

Browser released by Microsoft in 2015 to replace Internet Explorer in Windows 10. Used the proprietary EdgeHTML rendering engine (which was a fork of MSHTML from IE) to render pages faster than IE and was more compatible with HTML5 standards than the MSHTML rendering used in IE.
In 2018, Microsoft started developing codename "Anaheim", the successor to Edge, which they didn't even try to make. This new version copied code from Google Chromium (open-source version of Chrome) and CEO Satya Nadella said that was because "the product needed to be better and pushed for replacing its in-house rendering engine with an open source one." In 2019 and 2020, Chromium Edge was rolled out in beta testing and was marketed heavily towards the end of 2020 and into 2021 (popup advertising Microsoft Edge, no close button, only "Get started"). As of today, Microsoft is yet to surpass Chrome in browser market share (Chrome: 63%, Edge: 10%)

Microsoft

Noun - To Microsoft - a synonym for rebooting. The word came about as a result of the main way to fix a Microsoft Operating System, which was to simply turn off the operating system and start it anew. This was quite common when the famous blue screen of death (BSOD) showed up on a computer.
