MicrosoftDev channel update to 79.0.294.1 is live

I'll stick my nose in & say something about the updating for you. Presently, we are updating beta builds, previews, test rats, call the Edge C Channels whatever, but... once with a non-beta, non-Insider Build, it will not be manual or frequent updating. Will be similar to Edge being kept up to date; it will be Edge being kept up to date (wink). Consider, currently, there are 3 (different) Channels and 3 (different) rates of updating; that's no norm in daily practice with an entrenched browser which, Edge C isn't, yet. It's a work in progress, now and won't be manually updating after it's done & kicked out the door.
Cheers,
Drew

Even when the stable version of Edge will be released, that doesn't stop Beta/Dev/Canary users.
google chrome stable is released but there are still huge number of beta/dev/canary testers for the browse, they range from enthusiasts to developers and anyone in between.
most of us are used to more regular updates and I believe a good amount of people will want to still have faster and sooner access to the new features in Edge insider so they'd keep a Dev/Beta/Canary version beside the Stable version.
so my point is, a dedicated update button and an ability to set update cycle for Edge insider is a good idea. google chrome is missing this feature and it makes it double important for Edge to implement it as an advantage.
