Edge Availability via Microsoft Store?
Apologies if I missed something, but is there any plans to release Edge via the Microsoft Store? I really don't prefer having a bunch of app updaters running in the background, but more importantly,...

That's great it works in Windows 10 S - I didn't try testing it because I assumed only MS Store apps could run it. Still, though, I'd really like to see it in the Store instead of having it manage updating separately.

Didn't try either as I don't have S, but https://twitter.com/zacbowden/status/1115280076449419264?s=20 :)

AmineII just tried tonight, and it does work on a Surface Go. Nice that it works, but I wish it was distributed via the Store instead of yet another updater.
- archtechApr 10, 2019Iron ContributorYeah, its nice that at least there is at least an option to be installed on S Mode. For now this is perfectly fine but hopefully for public release, the new Microsoft Edge would be available through Microsoft Store, while keeping the individual installer for those who prefer those instead. On Windows 10, installers are almost not needed since it will eventually replace Edge UWP anyways I think. Only update is needed which can be done through Microsoft Store.
