More and more I am getting websites that don’t seem to work with Microsoft Edge(my current browser of choice). I’m not just talking about minor little websites-I just tried to access the NFL site and all I got was the blue bar at the top and framed pictures of… slightly grey nothing. If I use Firefox or Chrome this problem doesn’t happen. Did I not get the word that Edge is becoming the next Netscape?

In the latest version of Edge, Microsoft switched over to the Chromium engine (that Chrome uses) so the older version of Edge is basically dead at this point.

The census on line would not work under Edge. I down loaded Chrome and it worked fine.

My version of Edge is 80.0.361.109 - based on Chromium, 64-bit. [NFL.com](http://NFL.com) looks just fine.

I reinstalled Edge, now Chromium-enriched, and it works perfectly. Thank you, **Palooka**.
