Great work on the recent builds Team!
I'm noticing some high CPU usage in the latest build on Mac - my workstation was updated to Catalina last night so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Also, are there any plans for a dedicated "Check for updates" button on PC like there is in Mac's "Help" menu? Having to go into Help & Feedback > About Edge for manual update checking is quite tedious.
Looking forward to future builds! 🙂
I'd like a dedicated update button as well. the current system is taken from Google chrome without any changes. in the past Microsoft relied on Windows update to ship updates to their browsers (IE and Edge classic), so they should create a new system for the new Edge too, like you said a dedicated button for update.
I also think they should add a setting in GP to let us change the frequency of the auto update checking cycle. like set it to every 30 mins, 1 hour or 24 hrs.
of course the shorter durations are better for Canary.
HotCakeX "I'd like a dedicated update button as well."
What exactly do you mean by this? You want to be able to request it or do you want to be able to stop it?
I only ask because, like Chrome itself, if you go to the About Microsoft Edge menu item, it will check for the most recent update and download if there is one. It's the default action in Chrome and I assume it is in Edge as well.
- I want to have a dedicated button so that when I click on it it will check for browser update 🙂
