Details:

As communicated in MC220490 (August ’20), Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application support will end on March 9, 2021. After support ends, Microsoft Edge Legacy will not receive new security updates.
With March 9, 2021 only three months away, we strongly recommend that you build a transition plan to ensure that you have an up-to-date browser.
Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application
Timing: End of support for the Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop app will occur on March 9, 2021.
Action: To continue using a supported browser, transition to the new Microsoft Edge.
The new Microsoft Edge is our best expression of a modern browser and is more secure than Chrome for your business on Windows 10. We understand that upgrading browsers isn’t as easy as flipping a switch. Here are some support options for you:
Customers with Microsoft Unified Support can reach out to that support service for help transitioning to the new Microsoft Edge.
For customers who would like guidance on how to plan, deploy, or adopt the new Microsoft Edge, there’s FastTrack. FastTrack is available at no additional charge to customers with 150 or more paid seats of Windows 10 Enterprise. To get started, submit a Request for Assistance through the FastTrack site.
For those customers who prefer to get started on their own, we have:
Self-guided deployment and configuration materials available on our Microsoft Edge documentation site.
An instructional video series from Microsoft Mechanics.
A setup guidance experience for Microsoft Edge and email communications available in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
