Microsoft starts accepting beta testers for the new Edge   


Microsoft is currently working on building a new browser after its EdgeHTML experiment failed, so now the company is transitioning to Chromium for an approach that just can’t go wrong.

The software giant has started receiving beta testers for the new browser, as it’s now likely finalizing the preview build due in early 2019.

What’s important to know is that registering today doesn’t provide you with a download link, but only adds your name to the list of beta testers that will receive the preview build of the new Microsoft Edge when it launches sometime next year.

Microsoft clearly wants to take the development stage of the new browser seriously, so it’s hoping that beta testers can help it improve the application significantly before pushing the go-ahead button.

Preview expected in early 2019:

There’s no ETA as to when the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is expected to be finalized, but it should happen sometime next year. The browser could be offered in the fall of 2019 Windows 10 feature update.

Microsoft says that by moving to Chromium, the company can “make the web a better place for everyone,” as it’ll contribute to the project and invest in open source.

“We announced that we will adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility for our customers, and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers,” the company says.

“We’ve meaningfully increased our open source participation and we’re determined to be good members of the OSS community. This project is an exciting next step and we're eager to learn from you.”
