Microsoft Edge switching from React UI to WebUI 2

[enimiste]

Hi everyone,

I just saw a new announcement from Microsoft about migrating Microsoft Edge from React UI to WebUI 2. This is the first time I have heard about WebUI, so I did some research which led me to this library and repository.

My question is: is this the library that Microsoft uses for Edge, or are they referring to a different one?

Thanks

Microsoft WebUI 2.0 is a new markup-first UI architecture. It's an internal Microsoft project designed to improve Edge's UI performance. Our open-source WebUI 2.0 library uses any installed web browser as GUI. Just a similar name.
