What is the expected release of the final version? already have a date? I would like to suggest that the development team focus first on adapting the functions it has in the old version and launching the browser, and then worrying about the news, the new engine works fine from what I could see, just missing the removed functions to have a higher edge than the previous one. I am keen on edge canary translation this good needs tweaking but is far superior to BING extensionElliot Kirk

    Hi, no confirmed date now,

    As you said there are a bunch of fundamental features either missing or are incomplete (like set tabs aside, collections, sync options etc..)

    history shows that enabling sync options requires lots of Trial & Errors and it's the most time consuming feature I think. since Edge launched 6-7 months ago or more, among the  sync options, only 4 of them are working stable now. out of those 4, 1 of them was enabled by default (favorites) at very early stage, Settings sync is nothing really, just syncs the new tab page changes and no browser settings which is what it is supposed to do.

    so that means, the next big update that came to browser sync was couple months ago and it covered passwords and address sync (2 options), 3 months after that they are testing controlled roll out of open tabs on Canary. give it 2 more month to solidify it, after that few more month to implement extension and history sync and solidify it on Canary channel, then it takes 6 weeks to ship it to Beta channel, spend 1 month or 2 on Beta channel alone to eliminate any possible bug and incompatibility and then maybe it will be ready for final release.

    this was all Only about the sync options! the other fundamental features have a different story of their own. i just hope they don't rush it and take their time with this.

    Hi Vini,

     

    There is not a date being suggested or advertised in any official way or from any official source, yet.  However, that said, many of us reckon Spring 2020 is possible or likely, along with the Spring 2020 Update for Windows 10.

    Hey, you can be the newest new member of the ever-growing "Keep Edge Features Club".  There are a lot of us!  Be sure to tell Mr. Smiley :smile: you, also, don't want Edge Features omitted, forgotten or neglected.

    Oh, Elliot, here's another person pleading for the same as countless others. 

    Cheers,
    Drew

      Hi
      It will take so long, I'm really enjoying the Edge Beta but the missing features are missing, what remains is to wait, anyway the Edge is very promising, I'm looking forward to the final version.

        Just a wee reminder... one does see more things sooner with Canary & Dev than, Beta.  One can, also, run/use more than one Channel simultaneously in the same machine and that's in addition to current Edge, of course.

        Cheers,
        Drew

      My guess is that it'll be either this christmas or january when it's released. There's only a few things left to implement and the rest is just tweaks and fixes. And the top feedback threads show that a bunch of stuff will be fixed in october and one last thing in november. So that aligns also with either christmas or january. They however will have classic edge removed from the spring 20H1 windows 10 release.
