Stable version of Edge insider browser
- Thanks for the discussion. We feel this has come to a natural conclusion, so we are closing this off to new comments - it's good to be aware of using content from other sites, but we do understand this was used to help make an argument rather than passing it off as your own content. But it doesn't seem like anything productive will come from further discussion here.
though about the versioning, Stable will always have a lower version number than Beta so considering that it might have been stable, the version number would've been correct
HotCakeX "That's exactly what I thought, but then I wondered if it's only for their internal use, why make it public, unless they want others to use it too ..."
It isn't "public" in any meaningful sense, because (a) the link is not published on the Microsoft Edge Insider site and (b) the link is not published on the Office365 site that hosts the link, either, as far as I know. The code for the page takes it out of the search path, as well. It is "public" only in the sense that if you know the URL, you can get to it. That is no different than the previous "Stable" build, which was also clearly internal.
Good luck with testing it. I'm not going to install it, because I had to do a Win10 restore after a Dev build got corrupted somehow last week and wouldn't uninstall. There's only so much pain I'm willing to put up with for the sake of idle curiosity.
Your comments suggest that Microsoft is planning a deployment that substitutes Edge Chromium as the Windows 10 browser if installed, replacing/removing Edge (Classic) and embedding Edge Chromium into Windows. Did you have a chance to see what happened to IE when "Stable" is installed? Does it go away?
