The built-in WebView will still continue to use EdgeHTML for stability and consistency reasons.

WebView2, currently in preview ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/hosting/webview2 ) is an external library you may add to your application to render using Edge Chromium instead.

So unless you explicitly add WebView2 to your code, your PWA should continue to use EdgeHTML (unless your PWA is built on a third party framework, in which case it's up to the whims of the framework developer in which direction they go in the future).
