Mozilla's Firefox, Opera Software's Opera and Apple's Safari chipped away at IE's dominance and sowed the seeds for a revitalized, independent web. Two decades ago, Microsoft's Internet Explorer vanquished Netscape's Navigator to win the first browser wars, but Microsoft let the browser languish after its victory. The Chromium-based Edge is beta testing now. Microsoft is in the middle of rebuilding its Edge browser as a variation of Google's open-source Chromium project. The new icon is a hybrid of the old lowercase "e" icon that dates back to Microsoft's old Internet Explorer years and a crashing wave that might have something to do with surfing the web. A series of Microsoft Edge team teases ahead of Microsoft's Ignite conference next week revealed the new icon for those who could figure out the puzzles (or read the comments on Reddit). Microsoft's overhauled Edge web browser is getting a new icon to go along with its new engine.
