Edge is no longer a purely Microsoft product, it's now based on Chrome(Chromium) [0], or will be soon, I haven't followed this closely.

thats not quite true. Edge BETA is the chromium based.

Edge is still wholly MS

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.

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.
