They'll be switching to another source code, which will probably work better with Facebook. I still wouldn't use it, as I don't trust Microsoft any more than I do Facebook. Their security is untrustworthy, and I find Edge to be useless. I'll stick to Firefox, which now has a "Facebook Container", which supposedly hides your browsing habits from Facebook. It has worked pretty well for me, so far.
