The most common framework for browser automation is Selenium WebDriver. With general availability coming in January, we recommend incorporating the new Microsoft Edge into your existing automated tests now – testing the Beta channel will give you six weeks advance notice of any potential issues that may impact your site. Automated testingīecause the new Microsoft Edge is built on Chromium, it is fully compatible with popular automated testing frameworks like Selenium WebDriver and Puppeteer. To install the browser, simply browse here and select the appropriate channel. For example, today’s Beta 79 is our “Release Candidate” build for our Stable release on January 15 th. The Developer channel may be less stable than Beta but allows developers to experiment and prototype against early bits.įor customers looking for a snapshot of what is coming in the next major version, the Beta channel represents an early preview of the next Stable release. In general, we recommend testing on the Developer channel as a good balance between Canary (which is essentially untested bits that are built every night) and Beta, which contains six weeks’ worth of changes. Each of these channels has differing levels of support for experimental features, and therefore each has its own level of risk regarding stability.
Microsoft Edge has multiple channels that you can get started testing today: Canary, Developer, and Beta. We’ll also share resources you can use to file bugs, get support, and see what’s next for the new Microsoft Edge.
In this post, we’ll share more about how you can add the new Microsoft Edge to your automated browser testing, so your customers have a great experience as they begin to upgrade. You can learn more about how the new Microsoft Edge and Bing work together to be the browser and search engine for business over on the Windows blog. And for end users, it includes new privacy-enhancing features like tracking prevention that’s on by default and a new InPrivate mode across your entire web experience, so your online searches and browsing are not attributed to you. The new Microsoft Edge is built on the Chromium engine, providing best in class compatibility with extensions and web sites, with great support for the latest rendering capabilities, modern web applications, and powerful developer tools across all supported platforms.įor Enterprise customers, the new Microsoft Edge also includes Internet Explorer mode, providing a seamless experience across internal sites and LOB apps with legacy dependencies. This morning, we released Microsoft Edge Beta version 79, which is the final Beta before the new Microsoft Edge is generally available, also known as the “Release Candidate.” On January 15 th, we expect to release the “Stable” channel, at which point Microsoft Edge will be generally available to download on Windows and macOS.
