moves to a four-week release cycle for stable constructions later this year. It plans to launch after the schedule, starting with Edge 94, which launches in September.
Earlier this month, Google announced that Chrome would move to the cycle with Chrome 94 (which would drop in the third quarter) as part of an effort to release new features faster. Currently, stable Chrome builds appear every six weeks or so. Chrome and Edge are both, so it makes sense for Microsoft to follow the same schedule.
Microsoft that the four-week cycle may not be ideal for everyone. Enterprise customers have an Extended Stable option, which allows Microsoft to extend critical Edge updates every eight weeks. It will still provide bi-weekly security updates to those who choose the option. Google offers a similar Extended Stable option to its enterprise customers.
The upcoming schedule change brings Edge and Chrome in line with Firefox. The browser adopted a four-week release cycle in early 2020.
