microsoft edge browser will match fourweek

Brave plans to match this new schedule as well.On May 19, 2021, a Microsoft blog post announced that “The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge” and that “the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10.” According to an associated FAQ page, those “certain versions” include Windows 10 client SKUs and Windows 10 IoT. However, enterprises will have to opt for the Extended Stable schedule since the four-week cadence is going to be the default.Īlso, Edge is not the only Chromium-based browser that’s moving to a four-week release cycle. Under this, there is going to be a new release every eight weeks. Microsoft has also promised to offer enterprise customers an option to opt for longer release cycles under the Extended Stable schedule.

Google has also promised to make the switch with Chrome in Q3 and move to Chrome 94, but unlike Microsoft, Google has not given a specific month for this shift to happen. The new upgrade is expected to be released with Edge 94 which is announced to be launched by September.
