MicrosoftNew Update Experience for Mac available in Edge Beta / Dev / Canary
Getting updates timely and smoothly is key to keeping web browsers secure. It also helps you try new experiences sooner on a fast-moving browser like Microsoft Edge.
Since Microsoft Edge launch...
Olivia_Zhang Version 99 is now in the Stable channel and there is still no trace of the new update method. It has been a year since it was announced as coming imminently. It seems it has been shelved and nobody bothered to announce it.
I've noticed in version 100.0.1185.44 (stable channel), when I go to "About Microsoft Edge", the version check is nearly instantaneous, just like on Windows. I haven't had to actually run an update just yet, so I can't comment on what that experience is like, but this is definitely different than previous behavior, where it took a good 10 to 15 seconds to check for updates. Presumably, this is because Edge was interfacing with the MAU service.
Seems like this is rolling out now?
