For the first time in decades, Microsoft’s browser is not denoted with a blue “e” - the logo is a wave, presumably for “surfing” the web. It’s worth noting that the new Microsoft Edge, as Microsoft is calling it, has a fresh logo. Update: Microsoft has published a support article that lists features in the works and requests that are not currently on the roadmap. Insider builds can be installed side by side with Edge stable.
If you want to peek at the pipeline, download one of the Edge Insider Channels: Beta (updated every six weeks), Dev (updated weekly), or Canary (updated daily). When asked what to expect from the next few Edge releases, a spokesperson said developers and users should use the beta releases as an indication. Microsoft has yet to lay out which features will ship in Edge 80, Edge 81, and so on. Edge 80 is slated to arrive in early February, and afterwards Microsoft will stick to a six-week cadence for stable releases, just like with Chrome. This is Edge 79 stable, for those who like tracking version numbers. You can download Chromium Edge now for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and macOS directly from /edge in more than 90 languages. Right on schedule, Microsoft today launched its new Edge browser based on Google’s Chromium open source project. The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility.
