According to the source, Microsoft intends to move to a four-week release cycle for stable builds of the Edge browser this year. The developer is going to follow the new schedule starting with Edge 94, which is expected to be released in September.
Earlier this month, Google announced the same update cycle for the Chrome browser, starting with Chrome 94, due out in the third quarter. At the moment, stable builds of Chrome appear every six weeks or so. More frequent updates are expected to speed up the introduction of new features.
As a reminder, both Chrome and Edge are based on Chromium, so it makes sense that both companies plan to stick to the same schedule.
Given that a four-week cycle may not be ideal for everyone, Microsoft is looking to provide enterprise customers with an Extended Stable option that will enable them to receive major Edge updates every eight weeks. However, security updates will still be available every two weeks. Google will offer a similar version of Extended Stable to its corporate clients.
