Dev channel build 77.0.218.4 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we released build 77.0.218.4 to the Microsoft Edge Developer channel. We’ve got some new features, many of which you’ve seen over the past week in Canary and have been eagerly...

I downloaded Edge Dev last night and saw an instant improvement over the original Edge for OS10. I am honored to be a part of the guinea pig trial group. Thanks. I don't do many intricate things, but when the simple things are accelerated, it is amazing.

I'd like to say, as I continue to see/read a large & ever-increasing number of comments of this sort, the adoption of Edge C is going to be enthusiastic, rapid & massive. When Insiders are talking like this the sentiments are going to be heard outside the Insider sphere before Edge C. takes over for Edge. I firmly believe there will be many 'turncoats' and many eagerly awaiting the arrival of Edge-ium; whether betas tried before-hand or not. I can see it, quickly, attaining #1, Most Preferred Browser status. Will be fun to see if that comes to fruition & in what period of time.
I will say, running Edge & Edge C on the same hardware, things do seem to load faster with Edge C than, Edge.
Cheers,
Drew

I dunno. I'd like to think so. But I can say, as a front line IT guy for a few thousand, I still get this a LOT:
"What's Edge?" MOST people are not going to rush out to upgrade. MOST people don't even know what this is or why they should care. Or not. Those that aren't FF or Chrome dedicated users will use the default browser whatever that may be. This is very likely the huge majority. So I'M hoping that Edgium will be the new default by 1909. I like the direction this browser is headed. Kudos to the dev team here. Good job so far
