The migration process will begin in the coming weeks with a subset of Insiders in the Windows Release Preview ring (which is what Microsoft calls its beta testing for some reason).Įdge syncs passwords, favorites, and settings across devices, while Bing lets you earn rewards just for searching.

You can download the first stable version for Windows and Mac over here. It was a big undertaking, and after over a year of testing, the new Edge is finally ready. Microsoft announced the new Edge back in December 2018, when it decided to forego any further development of its own browser engine in favor of switching to the Chromium codebase.

The new Edge is based on the Chromium open source project, which makes it similar to Google Chrome in that regard. Today Microsoft is making the new Edge web browser available to download for Windows and Mac.
