Microsoft is going to adjust its release cycles for Microsoft Edge to match Google’s every-four-weeks release cadence for Chrome announced earlier this week. The change will go into effect with Edge 94, which is targeted for a September release.
Microsoft Edge currently runs on a six-week release cycle, but that's expected to change later this year. The news comes not long after Google announced the same schedule change for Chrome.
Currently, Microsoft is providing mainstream users with new updates to Edge Stable roughly every six weeks. In the near term, this will shift to roughly every four weeks. But Microsoft also will add an Extended Stable option that will update every eight weeks, as well. Any users who don t select the Extended Stable option will get updates every four weeks by default. Microsoft s goal in adding this new channel is to give business users refreshes at a more manageable pace. In between releases, Extended Stable channel users will get a biweekly security update with the most important fixes, but all other features and fixes will happen every eight weeks.
