I just downloaded this and it's a shame. Beta is, as far as I'm concerned, the proposed feature complete release. It still looks almost exactly like Chrome. Looks out of place in Windows 10 and fits better with Macs. Even Edge on Android looks more like it fits in with Windows 10. Vivaldi have done a better job of making a chromium based browser fit within Windows than Microsoft have. What a shame.

Hi Mace242,

"Beta is, as far as I'm concerned, the proposed feature complete release."

Beta is just another step in the cycle, and represents our most stable build of the last several weeks, rather than our most feature complete. You can immediately see differences between Beta and Canary / Developer when looking at the Sync settings supported. We plan to update our Beta branch with major updates about every 6 weeks, and with important fixes as needed. At the end of that period, the Beta will become the new Stable build (once we have set up the Stable channel) and the latest Developer build will be promoted to Beta. If you are interested in seeing the latest set of features (and are willing to put up with some bugs) Canary get our nightly build. We are not complete by any stretch of the imagination at this point, but we are dedicated to building in the open, and getting feedback from you, our Insiders, as soon as possible. Thanks - Elliot
