microsoft edge browser will upcoming cycle

When Microsoft Edge for Enterprise was made available as a stable release back in January 2020, it also adopted the six-week update cycle used by the Beta channel. Any organizations that participate in pre-release testing for Microsoft Edge in the Canary (daily updates), Developer (weekly updates), and Beta (six-week update cycle) channels will not see any differences in release cadence for those development channels.

This change only impacts organizations that peg their browser updates to the Stable channel of the chromium-based browser. Recently, the company has ended support for the legacy version of Chrome and will be replacing it on Windows 10 computers with the Chromium version in the April update.Microsoft has made changes to their Microsoft Edge for Enterprise stable channel browser which will allow organizations to select the release cycle that best suits the organization’s tolerance for upgrade frequency and time between new versions. However, that didn’t last long as Microsoft later decided to revamp Edge by rebuilding it on Chromium, the same platform that Google uses for Chrome, thus making it compatible with the same browser extensions that users have used with Chrome in the past. The company has stuck with Internet Explorer for years on end, only with Windows 10 did they introduce something new with Edge. Microsoft seems to be taking a fresh approach to its native Windows browser. As contributors to the Chromium project, we look forward to the new 4-week major release cycle cadence that Google announced, to help deliver that innovation to our customers even faster.”

However, it seems that Microsoft is also going to follow in Google’s footsteps and have announced a similar schedule for its Edge browser.Īccording to Microsoft, “Innovation has been part of Microsoft Edge since day one, whether you’re seamlessly accessing corporate apps online for work or saving money shopping with built-in coupons. To help themselves stay relevant and to continuously offer up new and improved features and better security, Google has promised that they will update its Chrome browser every four weeks.
