Microsoft says that this change will take effect with the release of Edge version 94 which, according to a public schedule, is set to be released in beta during the week of September 1 and in the stable channel during the week of September 23. The new schedule, as Google mentioned, allows for faster rollouts for new features and quicker security and bug fixes as well.
In a brief article posted today, Microsoft confirmed that it would switch Edge over to the new update schedule that was announced for Chrome earlier this month. Following in the footsteps of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge will adopt a new update schedule that drops updates every four weeks. Security updates for that version will come every 2 weeks.Starting this September, updates to Microsoft Edge are set to speed up.
That's why both Chrome and Edge are also adding a new, slower-moving version that's updated every eight weeks with new features. Swift releases can cause problems for IT managers or others who want more time to check new releases. That makes it easier to keep the two browsers in sync. Since 2020, Microsoft Edge has been based on Chromium, the open-source foundation of Google Chrome. That's also largely in sync with Google, which plans to move to its four-week release cadence in the third quarter with Chrome 94. Microsoft's change will take place in September with the release of Edge 94. It's part of a general shift toward continuously updated software, made possible by pervasive internet access and developer infrastructure geared toward small, incremental changes instead of massive, complex overhauls.
The change means swifter access to new features and to bug and security fixes, though browser makers can issue updates more rapidly to handle serious problems. Microsoft Edge will follow Google's lead in speeding up browser releases, issuing a new version every four weeks instead of every six weeks, the software maker said Friday.
