The Dev and Beta versions on Windows 10 identified themselves as 75.0.139.5 and 75.0.139.7, respectively, indicating that Microsoft is now working with Chromium's version 75. Edge is also slated to be available for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 at some point. Beta and Stable builds appear every six weeks.Įdge has yet to reach Stable, and Microsoft has not disclosed a timetable for when the browser will.
Canary, the least reliable, is updated daily, while the Dev version refreshes weekly. Recommended.Like Google Chrome - also based on open-source Chromium technologies - Edge releases in multiple builds representing increasingly more polished and stable versions of the browser. Verdict:įinally, Edge Chromium comes to Windows 10 and we're impressed. So you can import some of your favourite Chrome extensions from the get-go. What's instantly noticeable is support for existing Chrome extensions. Right now, only your favourites are synchronised.
Unlike Chrome, Microsoft has deployed their own account system which will eventually synchronise your data including favourites, extensions, themes and browsing history. With the above in mind, and the need to be able to produce a solid, competitive and secure web browser, Microsoft has decided to stop trying to build their own from scratch and move to a Chromium framework, which is the engine that powers Google Chrome and other browsers.Įdge is the release version of this new browser.
This is the trust placed by end users in Microsoft and their development. When Edge was first launched, in a rather basic form, with limited extension support, we used to receive complaints from people who'd bought a security suite and wanted a refund as their new security wouldn't support Edge (overlooking this was an issue with Edge, not their security). Despite having far more powerful alternatives, users paranoid about the dangers lurking around the internet would insist on using Internet Explorer. Microsoft never appears to be completely happy with their web browser.
