To Clarify Betas as Default vs Non-beta.

Tom, precisely due to what stage things are at, now... I suggested there is no way it would be ready before 1909. I am not "seeing" anything, it's a hunch. I, also, thought, on the occasions where this was being discussed, I had said or meant to imply, not before 1909 & maybe, after. And 1909 goes out in October so, maybe. Excuse if you misunderstood, I have never said along w/ 1909 was etched in stone, just a possibility... Mostly, it was telling people that Edge C would definitely NOT be anything before the Fall, at least. I recall at the same times reminding people the Beta Channel isn't even available, yet, when they have asked, "When will this browser be released?"
Cheers,

Drew1903 Sorry, I did misunderstand, apparently. I thought you were suggesting that Edge Chromium would be released with 19H1: "Some of us suspect the 'real' (new) Edge to be pushed out w/ 1909."
Obviously, that is not going to be the case. The first Beta channel version hasn't been released yet, and since Microsoft seems to anticipate several Beta updates ("https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/"), there just aren't enough days in the calendar for Edge Chromium to be "pushed out w/ 1909", whether or not it is part of the 19H1 release or independent. Even if there are only two Beta updates, that pushes the earliest possible release date into mid-November.
I personally hope that Microsoft takes its time and doesn't push Edge Chromium out until it is 100% ready. There is no particular urgency, and I don't think that Edge Chromium will survive if the product is not fully featured and working perfectly, both for consumers, and more importantly perhaps, for business and enterprise users. Edge Chromium has to be flawless when released. EdgeHTML got an early reputation for problems and it never recovered. Microsoft can't afford that this time around.
- True, did write, suspect not, would be.
As for your 2nd paragraph, I absolutely agree 100%. It is the only way it should be.
And, since we, really, don't know the time span, I, honestly just try to offer some kind of response to all those asking, “When, when, when??”

How about "I don't know. "
