Sure, which is why I added "...or will be soon, I haven't followed this closely".

For people who have to deal with browsers for their business this is important to know what's coming in the near future.

That explains why the jquery based script I wrote to change the alpha channel of an image didn't work in Edge whereas it worked in all the other modern browsers I tested.

edit:clarity

My anecdata, everyone who I know who uses Edge (2 people, my parents on their Windows 10 machines) still call it Internet Explorer. They're tech savvy people too, but built up a habit with their new laptops. Hardly statistically significant I know though.

I bet if I asked around the office what the default browser that came with their new Windows 10 laptops that were rolled out last year, 90+% would say Internet Explorer. The icon even looks similar.

Now admittedly most of those people aren't using Edge, but that has a lot to with them thinking it Internet Explorer.

And changing the name of something while keeping the icon/logo (almost) unchanged only adds to the confusion...

I think you just proved his point.
