newer version of Internet Explorer, and yes, it comes with the new update from Microsoft
NOT related to Chrome - Chrome is Google based web page explorer

It's trash....kill it with fire and put it in the bin.
Yes, it is related.
It's a Chromium based version of Edge. In the nerd world, it's known as Chredge.
It's garbage. For multiple reasons.
And....you should put all your MS updates on pause.
Unless you like being a beta for updates.

No, it's not. They just launched a new version and it's very freaking good.

Does it have a built in ad blocker?
Does it block ad-blocker sniffers?
Can you selectively block individual images at will?
Can you selectively block individual elements or sections of a web page at will?
Does it have a built in email client?
Proxy server?

Yes, it is, now kill it with fire and put it in the bin.
No worries, it's just another thing that you don't know anything about or have ever used but will attempt to make an uninformed comment anyways.

Nope, and I it doesn't matter because it's trash.
It tried to launch and went right into the bin, because I killed it with fire and put it in the bin...where it belongs.

No it's not. Anything from MS is as secure as a screen door on a submarine.
The new one is written to the chromium specs

Hate it and I ignore it

Good question. I honestly would prefer Internet Explorer to either of them, but a lot of newer web pages with embedded video links don't work as well with Internet Explorer. (I.E.'s search engine was much better than either Chrome or Edge though.)
But yeah- just use Chrome and dont worry about it. I found that new Edge thing on my computer when I booted it up this morning and was like, "What's this? No thanks."
