==Microsoft alternatives== Apart from MSHTML, Microsoft also has and uses several other layout engines. One of them, known as [[Tasman (browser engine)|Tasman]], was used in [[Internet Explorer 5]] for Mac. Development of Internet Explorer for Mac was halted in roughly 2003, but development of Tasman continued to a limited extent, and was later included in [[Microsoft Office 2004|Office 2004 for Mac]]. [[Microsoft Office for Mac 2011|Office for Mac 2011]] uses the open source [[WebKit]] engine. Microsoft's now defunct web design product, [[Microsoft Expression Web|Expression Web]], as well as [[Visual Studio]] 2008 and later, do not use Internet Explorer's MSHTML engine, but rather a different engine.<ref>{{cite web |last=Mauceri |first=Rob |date=2007-04-11 |url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/sharepointdesigner/office-live-and-sharepoint |title=Office Live and SharePoint |department=Microsoft SharePoint Designer Team Blog |website=[[Microsoft Docs]] |access-date=2022-01-01 |quote=SharePoint Designer doesn't use Trident. SharePoint Designer, Expression Web, and the next version of Visual Studio's Visual Web Designer (code name Orcas) all use the same standards-based web design component. This component was developed jointly by the three product teams for high fidelity rendering of web standards like CSS, XHTML, as well as ASP.net.}}</ref> In 2014, MSHTML was [[fork (software development)|forked]] to create the engine [[EdgeHTML]] for [[Microsoft Edge Legacy|Microsoft Edge [Legacy]]] on [[Windows 10]]. The new engine is "designed for interoperability with the modern web" and deprecates or removes a number of legacy components and behaviors, including document modes, ensuring that pure, standards-compliant HTML will render properly in browsers without the need for special considerations by web developers.<ref name=ieblog-edge>{{cite web |url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/ie/living-on-the-edge-our-next-step-in-helping-the-web-just-work |title=Living on the Edge β our next step in helping the web just work |department=IEBlog |website=[[Microsoft Docs]] |date=2014-11-11 |access-date=2022-01-01}}</ref><ref name=ieblog-spartan>{{cite web |url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/ie/project-spartan-and-the-windows-10-january-preview-build |title=Project Spartan and the Windows 10 January Preview Build |department=IEBlog |website=[[Microsoft Docs]] |date=2015-01-22 |access-date=2022-01-01}}</ref> This resulted in a completely new browser called Microsoft Edge (later referred to as "Microsoft Edge ''Legacy''",<ref>{{cite web |url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/m365-ie11-microsoft-edge-legacy |title=Microsoft 365 apps and services to end support for IE 11; End of support coming to the legacy version of Microsoft Edge |department=Microsoft Lifecycle Policy |website=[[Microsoft Docs]] |access-date=2022-01-01}}</ref> with a flat blue "e" icon) which replaced [[Internet Explorer]] as Windows' stock browser and became the base of Microsoft's web related services, until its replacement with a [[Blink (browser engine)|Blink]] / [[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]]<ref>{{citation |url=https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/download-the-new-microsoft-edge-based-on-chromium-0f4a3dd7-55df-60f5-739f-00010dba52cf |title=Download the new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium |website=Microsoft Support |id=KB4501095 |access-date=2022-01-01 |quote=The new Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{citation |last=Belfiore |first=Joe |date=2020-01-15 |url=https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/01/15/new-year-new-browser-the-new-microsoft-edge-is-out-of-preview-and-now-available-for-download/ |title=New year, new browser β The new Microsoft Edge is out of preview and now available for download |website=Windows Blog |access-date=2022-01-01}}</ref>-based browser, also called [[Microsoft Edge]]<ref>{{cite news |last=Warren |first=Tom |date=2020-01-15 |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/15/21066767/microsoft-edge-chromium-new-browser-windows-mac-download-os |title=Microsoft's new Edge Chromium browser launches on Windows and macOS |work=[[The Verge]] |access-date=2022-01-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Hollister |first=Sean |date=2020-07-02 |url=https://www.theverge.com/21310611/microsoft-edge-browser-forced-update-chromium-editorial |title=With Edge, Microsoft's forced Windows updates just sank to a new low |work=[[The Verge]] |access-date=2022-01-01}}</ref> (with a brand new wave-like icon) in late 2020.
