Microsoft Edge moves to new two-week release cycle for major browser versions

Microsoft has announced a major update to the release schedule for its Edge web browser on all platforms that will see the company release new versions of the app on a much faster cadence; now every two weeks instead of once a month.

“Microsoft Edge is moving to a two-week release cycle, bringing new features and improvements to users and organizations faster than ever,” says Microsoft in a blog post published earlier today. “For customers on Stable, the practical effect of the new cycle is smaller, steadier change. Each release brings about half as much new content as before, delivered twice as often.”

This means that although the browser will be updated more often, users are unlikely to notice an uptick in feature quantity. The more frequent updates will be half as big, which should balance out to about the same amount of features and changes being delivered monthly.
