Major versions of Microsoft Edge will now ship every two weeks: Microsoft confirms plans to ship new Edge features and changes twice a month

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

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

This means that although the browser will be updated more frequently, users are unlikely to notice an increase in the number of features. Most frequent updates will be half as bigwhich should be balanced with roughly the same number of features and changes delivered monthly.
