True but only few days.

currently, Edge dev and canary channels are only few days behind google chrome dev and canary channels.

but for the stable channel, Microsoft is intentionally postponing and delaying the release to stay behind the google chrome's development.

Microsoft's Edge version 79 will be released in January 15 2020 while Google chrome version 79 WAS released in December 10th 2019.

Has Microsoft stated the date yet for when Edge Beta will move to v80? Since they are releasing Edge Stable at v79 on 1/15/20, and since Edge Beta is currently the "release candidate" for Edge Stable, I'm guessing that maybe Edge Beta will move to v80 on 1/15/20? Just a guess, hoping for the official word if anyone has heard. Thanks!

  Hi,
  i lost the track of Beta release cycle since it's every 6 weeks, but yes technically Beta should move to v80.
  v79 will probably stay as RC version for people to use until stable release..
