Security News > 2021 > March > Microsoft Edge Legacy will now prompt you to install Chromium Edge
Microsoft Edge Legacy has officially reached the end of life today, and starting tomorrow, the web browser will begin displaying notifications telling users to switch to the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge.
"This version of Microsoft Edge is no longer supported or receiving security updates. Download the new version of Microsoft Edge today."
If you wish to suppress the Edge deprecation notifications, Microsoft added a new Group Policy with the March 2021 cumulative updates that you can use to turn them off.
"This new policy is called 'Suppress the display of Edge Deprecration Notification" and is found under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge.
Once enabled, Microsoft Edge legacy will no longer display the notification in the browser.
This policy's use is short-lived as, on April 13th, 2021, Microsoft's Patch Tuesday will automatically install an update that removes Microsoft Edge Legacy and replaces it with the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge.
