A couple of months ago, Microsoft announced that future versions of Edge will be based on Google's Chromium engine. Neowin got its hands on some screenshots of the browser in its current state, which looks a lot more like Chrome. Check out the site for more pictures.
To the right of the address bar, you'll be able to find your extensions, as well as your profile picture similar to what Chrome looks like. Bing is integrated into the browser - as you'd expect of a Microsoft-made browser - and the New Tab background can be set to rotate based on Bing's image of the day. Scrolling down will reveal a personalised news feed powered by Microsoft News, similar to the old Edge. The layout of the feed can be customised based on your preference from among a number of options.
