Η by clicking here distribution is Microsoft Edge Insider and the beta according to the company will only work on Windows 10. This is not true because I tested the upcoming browser on Windows Server 2019 and it works fine. However, according to the company, beta versions for Windows 7, 8.1, and Mac operating systems will be released later.
The new build of Edge released today focuses on very fundamental elements of the application, so there is no language support, and some functional UI.
Today's build is not optimized for performance although the company promises smooth scrolling, inking, PDF support and tabbed scanning. But none of the above is activated.
Right now, Chromium-based Edge looks a lot like Chrome, except for embedded feed news from MSN.
Today's build is intended for web developers, and the "enthusiastic" friends of Microsoft.
At some point this summer, Microsoft is expected to add more features and more functions.
But today anyone can download the trial version. So no one will be tempted to install a version from third-party channels.
