Edge is updated
Table of contents:
Yesterday we talked about the new Chromium-based Edge and the latest update that came to the Canary version of it. An update of the many that he receives, almost daily, brought by the synchronization with the theme we are using in Windows 10.
Canary is the version that is updated almost every day, but it is not the only one available. As we already explained when talking about the different versions of Chrome, there are several development branches that we can find. In the case of Edge, they are limited to three: Edge Canary, Edge on the Dev channel and the Beta Channel. And it is this version that has just received a new update.
This week Edge in Dev Release hits version 76.0.159.0 and offers a handful of interesting enhancements. However, remember that, being a development version, it also contains a series of errors that can complicate the user experience, so it is not recommended as a main browser.
