Edge 95 is now available in the Beta channel

Microsoft is moving closer to the public release of Edge 95, the next version of its Chromium-based browser. After testing new features and changes in Canary and Dev channels, Microsoft pushed Edge 95 to users in the Beta channel.

Tip: If you want to get early access to new features in the Edge browser, the Beta channel is the safest "place" to do so without risking encountering bugs or compatibility issues. You can learn more about the differences between Edge Canary, Dev, and Beta in our dedicated guide.
