gvv Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Microsoft is working at full speed on getting the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge ready for prime time, and by the looks of things, we’re only a few hours away from the moment when the stable build is expected to go live. The download links for the Microsoft Edge stable are now live, in addition to the existing ones for preview builds in Canary, Dev, and Beta channels. Officially, only early versions of Microsoft Edge are available right now, with Canary builds updated every day, while the Dev channel gets new improvements every week. The Beta build receives updates every six weeks. Microsoft has until now remained tight-lipped on everything related to the stable version of Microsoft Edge, and an ETA as to when it could launch has never been offered. Download links now live But as discovered by TechDows, a search for “Microsoft Edge stable” on Google actually points users to the official download link for the stable version of Microsoft Edge stored on Microsoft’s servers. This version isn’t yet listed on the Microsoft Edge Insider page. Clicking the first result on Google begins the download of the supposed stable build of Microsoft Edge. The app downloads and installs correctly, and the version of the browser is 78.0.276.19. Everything seems to be running correctly, and checking for updates also appears to be working fine, with no error whatsoever. The Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is expected to become the new default browser and replace the current version of Edge in Windows 10 with the debut of the 20H1 feature update. This update is projected to go live in the spring of 2020 – according to Microsoft’s release calendar, this build is due to be finalized in March and then released to production devices in April or May. We’re still waiting for an official announcement on the Chromium Edge, and by the looks of things, the release of the stable build is just around the corner.

Better refrain from using leaked installers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, though I think they still have time until Windows 10 build 20H1 releases, the most probable build which Edge insider will fully replace the Edge classic.

Stig Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The latest Dev build insists on focusing on the Address Bar. I have New Tab Redirect installed, and the setting to focus on the page instead of the Address Bar doesn't work, although it continues to work in Chrome.
