Windows 10: Brand-new Microsoft Edge to ship in Windows 10 gradually

Microsoft has confirmed its intentions to make Chromium-based Edge ready for the general public by January 15 after beta testing the browser for nearly six months. Over the past two days, Microsoft unveiled the new logo of Edge, highlighted the plans of the Linux version and the future of web at the Redmond firm.

Anyone can download the Beta, Dev, and Canary builds of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, 7 and macOS but the stable build is not yet available.

According to Microsoft, the stable Edge will finally become available on January 15, which means Edge will also offer a stable and smooth experience like every other browser.

Previous reports suggested that Windows 10 20H1 (Spring 2020) update will come bundled with new Edge, but it wasn’t clear how the firm plans to push new Edge experience to older versions of Windows 10.

As per another report, Microsoft Edge will roll out to users gradually. It’s likely that cumulative updates will implement a change that would facilitate the transition on Windows 10. Initially, Microsoft will enable new Edge for a small handful of users before rolling it out to more users.

The rollout depends on feedback from customers and Microsoft’s own internal testing. It’s also worth pointing that Microsoft previously A/B testing hiding old Edge when new Edge is running, although the changes were later removed.

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
