Microsoft executives said the new browser Edge based on Chromium will be available from January 15, 2020. Also in early November they stated that the new Edge will be combined with Windows 10 immediately after the availability date, although this will happen gradually.
This week, the company will release more details about the upcoming release of Edge on Windows 10.
Chrome based version Edge will not follow the versions of Windows, as the company said. Microsoft will automatically release the new Edge through Windows Update for all computers already running Windows 10 1709 or higher.
Notes for Edge:
Η επόμενη έκδοση του Microsoft Edge θα διαθέτει πιο συχνές και πιο ευέλικτες δυνατότητες ενημέρωσης. Επειδή οι εκδόσεις προγραμμάτων περιήγησης δεν θα δεσμεύονται στις κύριες εκδόσεις των Windows, θα γίνουν αλλαγές στο λειτουργικό σύστημα για να διασφαλιστεί ότι η επόμενη έκδοση του Microsoft Edge θα ταιριάζει απρόσκοπτα στα Windows. Ως εκ τούτου, οι ενημερώσεις δυνατοτήτων θα κυκλοφορούν σε έναν κύκλο 6 εβδομάδων (περίπου.) Οι ενημερώσεις security and compatibility will be sent whenever required.
Microsoft will also release a Blocker Toolkit for the new Edge for Companies who wish to block her automatic development of the new Edge. (This Blocker Toolkit will also be able to run on Windows 10 Home systems by administrators.) The Blocker Toolkit will not prevent manual installation of the new Chromium-based application.
Microsoft officially launched the new store for Microsoft Edge Addons for all developers on December 16th. So developers can submit the extensions they deploy through it Partner Center Developer Dashboard.
Chromium is an open source browser that is used as a base by many browser developers such as Google, Vivaldi, Opera, Yandex, Brave and many more. Alongside the release of Chrome in 2008, Google released most of Chrome's code as open source, and Chromium was born.
