Quote:Or do you plan to use it full time on Windows 10?
Microsoft is putting a lot of effort into getting its new Microsoft Edge browser right, and the release cadence of Canary and Dev builds is living proof in this regard.
Because it’s based on the Chromium engine, which is also used by Google Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi and others, Microsoft Edge can be offered not only to Windows 10 users, but also on non-Windows platforms, including here macOS.
Rumor has it that a Linux version could also be released at some point in the future given this Chromium engine, but for the time being, a confirmation in this regard isn’t yet available.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is working around the clock to get Edge ready, and while the company hasn’t shared any ETA as to when the browser should be finalized, we expect the stable build to go live at some point in the spring of the next year.
But while the software giant is building a new browser, the company also wants the application to come with the familiar approach of the version it replaces. So it does retain a bunch of features that would certainly come in handy, such as Reading View, which makes reading articles online quite a breeze.
At first glance, the new Microsoft Edge will become a full rival to Google Chrome, especially because the two will share the same engine and come with features that will be available to both.
