Microsoft Edge Beta is the most stable preview version of the Microsoft Edge web browser. This browser, based on Chromium, has four versions (just like Chrome): Stable, Beta, Dev and Canary. The Canary version is the most unstable of all, while the Beta is the second most stable. This version is compiled once every four weeks and is closely monitored for bugs by the developers.
Sometimes the Beta version is so stable that it is exactly the same as the one released on the Stable channel. This is because Microsoft Edge Beta has already debugged some of the bugs that were found in the Dev or Canary versions. The Beta version's function is to channel all these new features and work out the bugs before its release to the general public.
So, with Microsoft Edge Beta, you can test out the new features coming to the stable version several weeks in advance. Other than that, Microsoft Edge Beta offers the same options as the primary version, letting you browse the Internet, sync your favorites and account, view your history, and much more.
So, if you want to try out what's new in Edge weeks before most users, go ahead and download Microsoft Edge Beta.
