== History ==
Microsoft first introduced the EdgeHTML rendering engine as part of [[Internet Explorer 11]] in the Windows Technical Preview build 9879 on November 12, 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=Living on the edge – our next step in helping the web just work|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2014/11/11/living-on-the-edge-our-next-step-in-interoperability.aspx|website=IE Blog|access-date=19 November 2015}}</ref> Microsoft planned to use EdgeHTML both in [[Internet Explorer]] and ''Project Spartan''; in Internet Explorer it would exist alongside the Trident 7 engine from Internet Explorer 11, the latter being used for compatibility purposes. However, Microsoft decided to ship Internet Explorer 11 in [[Windows 10]] as it was in [[Windows 8.1]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Updates from the "Project Spartan" Developer Workshop|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2015/03/24/updates-from-the-project-spartan-developer-workshop.aspx|website=IE Blog|access-date=6 December 2015}}</ref> leaving EdgeHTML only for the then new Edge [Legacy] browser. EdgeHTML was also added to [[Windows 10 Mobile]] and the second [[Windows Server 2016]] Technical Preview. It was officially released on July 29, 2015, as part of Windows 10.<ref>{{cite web|title=Windows 10 Free Upgrade Available in 190 Countries Today|url=http://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2015/07/28/windows-10-free-upgrade-available-in-190-countries-today/|website=Windows Blog|date=29 July 2015 |access-date=19 November 2015}}</ref>
 
Unlike Trident, EdgeHTML does not support [[ActiveX]]. It also drops support for the X-UA-Compatible header, used by Trident to determine in which version it had to render a certain page. Microsoft also dropped the usage of Compatibility View-lists.<ref>{{cite web|title=A break from the past: the birth of Microsoft's new web rendering engine|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2015/02/26/a-break-from-the-past-the-birth-of-microsoft-s-new-web-rendering-engine.aspx|website=IE Blog|access-date=19 November 2015}}</ref> Edge will recognize if a page requires any of the removed technologies to run properly and suggest to the user to open the page in Internet Explorer instead. Another change was spoofing the [[user agent string]], which claims to be Chrome and [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]], while also mentioning [[KHTML]] and [[Gecko (rendering engine)|Gecko]], so that web servers that use user agent sniffing send Edge users the full versions of web pages instead of reduced-functionality pages.
