I never said that, and chrome is not literally the new IE, no matter how poorly the word literally is misused.

Chromium is a free (a blend of BSD-style, MIT, GPL, and other generally regarded as free licences apply) piece of software that's performant, cross-platform, receives regular feature updates, rarely breaks backwards compatibility, and doesn't try to lock you into one vendor. Compare and contrast the history of IE.

Microsoft's (new) Edge is using Chromium.

No it doesn't. This is hyperbole.
