A huge thank you to this Insiders group
We pushed our first build to Stable this morning (then again this afternoon with a fix for the language detection issue) , the culmination of months of work on our side, and tons of great feedback and ideas from your side. I wanted to thank you for all of the time and energy that you have put into making this day happen. This is just our latest step on our journey and we will continue putting out our Canary, Developer and Beta channels on a regular basis. I would invite you all to remain Insiders and try our latest and greatest builds as they come out.
Thank you again,
Elliot

- It would have niced if you were added a way of Insider Channels and release notes somewhere in https://www.microsoft.com/edge similar to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/

Elliot, thanks for saying this. It is nice to be acknowledged & appreciated. For myself, it's a privilege, an honour & a joy to learn, help others & be pat of creating & building products people will use & like. To you, Microsoft and anyone it helps... it's my pleasure. Likely others share the same sentiments. If it helps any wee bit, that what we strive, why we do it & all we can hope.
Thanks, again.
Nor is our work, as Insiders, finished...
The icon behavior when apps are pinned exists in this (for example), but, it's going to be very similar to the Beta Channel. It's, also, 79 not 80 or 81. A lot will change (for the better) with its 1st update & beyond.
Cheers,
Drew

It's Not a problem of Edge, it is related to Windows. Josh Bodner (Edge developer) already said this:
"...The issue is with Windows, not Edge, and we made a fix in all Windows Insider builds 19xxx and higher. That fix hasn't had a chance to be ported back to non-Insider Windows yet (18363 and lower), so it's not surprising if people are still seeing it there, but if you're seeing it on Windows versions that do have the fix, then it means the fix wasn't sufficient. ..."
- This is awesome! One of the things I'm missing the most on the new Edge is Fluent Design. Honestly I'm completely fine with the borders and UI size, I'd like for them not to be changed, or at least for it to be an option.
Something I'd really like to be added too is the acrylic (transparency) effect on the context menus (including the three dot menu on the top right corner and the right-click menu). Also please don't forget the reveal effects when hovering.
About the animations, the Windows Start Menu has a great example of how the context menus should be animated (the context menu starts animated from the point where the cursor is.)
Here's a concept of Edge with Fluent Design on which you can see the acrylic effect: https://twitter.com/itsMichaelWest/status/1143953352662953986?s=20
And here's a concept of the context menu with the acrylic effect too: https://twitter.com/itsMichaelWest/status/1143953352662953986?s=20
Elliot Kirk Is the issue with notifications in the background fixed? I installed a stable version of edge yesterday and lost access to notifications in the background mode from twitter. There is no problem in the old edge and google chrome. There come notifications in the background when the browser is closed and the site is installed as a pwa app. this is a serious problem for me. think for many too. Please pay attention to this.
Elliot Kirk- Why is it that you need admin privileges to install Chromium edge on Windows 10 ?. Chrome can do without that.
whizlingo Chrome will then install into your Windows profile, where applications do not belong.
They belong in ProgramFilesDir.
For that you need to be in the Local Admin group.

Elliot Kirk Is there a forecast for the new EDGE arriving via Windows update? if it's too long I'll prefer to download right now.
Hi viniciusbezerra, we haven't published a full schedule yet, but we won't be pushing out via Windows Update right away. I would suggest if you are interested in getting on the Stable build right away, that you click the link above and start the download. Thanks - Elliot
- I wasted no time, I downloaded it, the months I wait for this moment, I will continue to contribute both in the final version and by DEV
The team has done a great job! Congratulations on the stable release!
stil use the Microsoft Edge Canary more stufe in that onElliot Kirk
- It's been a fun ride, and I look forward to seeing what's next. Today I installed the stable browser at work and updated to beta version 80 on my home device. Keep up the good work!
- I will keep using Canary channel even though I installed stable version too.
Going strong! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ- That sounds like a good idea.
I'm gonna keep a Win 10 VM only on Edge classic to know when it will receive the new Edge automatically from Windows update.
- I agree, I really like Can even if it is currently crashing a lot for me...
Dennis5mile- in my case, even if i don't like canary, i can't switch to stable version, simply due to lack of features I need, which are available in canary but not in stable
- Thank you all(Edge Team) it was all fun to test and Thanks for the Fix!!!!!
