The first version of the new Microsoft Edge is now available for download

Microsoft Edge is an alternative browser that the company presented with Windows 10 four years ago. Despite the many improvements, however, the title failed to become a hit among consumers.

According to NetMarketShare analysts, Microsoft Edge’s market share currently stands at around 4.4%, which is more than twice as high as Internet Explorer (9.83%). That’s why the company is working on a new version of the web browser.

The most important difference is that the updated Microsoft Edge will be based on the Chromium technology used in the development of Google Chrome. This integration is expected not only to improve speed and security, but also allow us to use Chrome extensions on Microsoft Edge. The company is already ready with the first test version of the new browser available for online developers, TheVerge reports.

This is an important step in the development of Microsoft Edge, as the company is dedicated to providing daily updates that optimize browser performance. More details about the whole project can be found on this link, where you can also download the versions of Beta, Dev or Canary on the new Edge.

In the coming weeks, it is expected to maintain support for macOS, which is also true for older versions of Windows.
