About Microsoft Edge

A flagship browser created by Microsoft is a cross-platform web browser that comes pre-loaded & set as the default for Windows machines. With ...... % worldwide browser market share, it is becoming widely popular. Especially, since it released its Chromium-based versions.

Initially built with Microsoft's proprietary browser engine EdgeHTML and their Chakra JavaScript engine, it was referred to as Microsoft Edge Legacy. However, its first version was released in 2015 with Windows 10 and Xbox One, followed by Android and iOS versions released in 2017. Unveiled in 2019, The Edge was released on Chromium source code. Based on Open-source, it enables Beta, Developer, and Canary channels, to change and test the source code and gives them a free hand.

Since, the release of Chromium-based Edge browsers, its increased popularity stimulated Microsoft to release it in macOS and Linux.

Talking about updates, Beta Channel is the most stable and gets a major update every six weeks. Dev Channel is the place to be if you want to see weekly updates and be the first to test features that have been tested and verified by the Microsoft Edge team. Though not bug safe, it's the 'safest' way to see some of the forthcoming bleeding-edge features. However, the Canary Channel is updated every night automatically. Usually referred unstable and least recommended to use it in the everyday web.

The new Microsoft Edge replaced the legacy version with the 'wave' icon. It is well integrated into the entire platforms of Windows 11 & + machines. It allows users to operate Cortana voice assistant to perform voice searches, for example, or save information straight to OneDrive without any hassle.
