Want to see what is coming to Edge, and test your site against it, weeks before release? Microsoft Edge Dev is an Insider preview browser with weekly builds that showcase recent improvements and upcoming features.
Try recent Edge changes
The Dev channel provides a preview of Edge features as they develop. Its weekly builds reflect improvements made during the preceding week, giving testers and developers a way to explore browser changes before they appear in a general release.
Because Edge Dev is a preview channel, features and behavior may change as new builds arrive.
Test pages with DevTools
Updated DevTools are a central reason to use Edge Dev for web work. Developers can inspect pages, debug scripts, and check layouts in the browser that is receiving newer Edge changes. Testing in this channel can surface compatibility issues while those changes are still in preview.
- Inspect and debug web pages in the browser.
- Check site behavior against current Edge development.
Keep preview and regular Edge available
Installing an Edge Insider channel does not remove the commercial Microsoft Edge browser. Multiple preview channels can also be installed at the same time, so Edge Dev can sit alongside the regular browser for preview testing.
Pros
- Weekly builds bring recent Edge improvements into a preview browser
- Updated DevTools support testing and debugging web pages
- Can be installed alongside the regular Microsoft Edge browser
Cons
- Ongoing preview changes can alter browser behavior between builds
System requirements: Windows 10, Windows 11 · 32-bit and 64-bit
