As mentioned above Microsoft is changing its rendering engine from their in-house version, "EdgeHTML", to a Chromium-based one. I'm going to assume your Operating System is Windows 10, which updates regularly, whether you want it or not. I bet that your Edge browser will get updated by the time Facebook drops support for the one you're currently using.
