## What it is
A repository of explainer documents from the Microsoft Edge team proposing new web platform features and standards. Each explainer describes a user or developer problem and explores potential solutions as starting points for community discussion and standardization.

## Use cases
- track proposed web platform features from the Edge team
- give feedback on emerging web standards proposals
- understand the motivation behind new browser APIs
- research the standards-track status of Edge-originated ideas
- follow discussions on web platform evolution

## When to choose
- you want to follow or comment on Microsoft Edge's web standards proposals
- you need high-level problem statements and rationale for proposed web features
- you are a web developer evaluating upcoming platform capabilities

## When to avoid
- you need finished specifications or implementation-ready documentation
- you are looking for the Edge browser itself or its source code
- you need to file a product bug rather than discuss standards

- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: web-development, documentation, browser-extensions
