It's hard to glean technical details from the post, but "We will move to a Chromium-compatible web platform for Microsoft Edge on the desktop" indicates to me that this will be Edge based on Blink, not the full Chromium shell renamed/rewritten to be Edge. Hard to tell though

Or it could be the other way around: a Chromium shell still calling EdgeHTML render processes?

It's really not clear in this blog post. What does "Chromium-compatible web platform" mean? Which part of Chromium is the "platform" in question? This blog post doesn't have enough answers.

Pointed out in other threads, the GitHub README has more details: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge

I still feel like I've got a ton of questions left unanswered, but the README helps.
