Those seeking multi-lingual support may also find this version of Edge wanting at this stage. There’s also no spell-checking and broadcasting of media directly from the browser in the first preview. Microsoft is only rolling out the preview version for Windows 10 right now but is promising support for previous versions of Windows, macOS and Xbox One a little farther down the line. There’s also the ability to sync favourite sites across the preview builds, ahead of cross-platform syncing arriving in a later version. The presence of a dark mode, perhaps the most demanded software feature around at the moment, will please those seeking a retina-friendly web experience right out of the gate. While those keen users who downloaded the leak for Windows 10 will be familiar with the initial build, there’s plenty here for more patient users to experience. It’s the first Microsoft browser to support Chrome extensions, which is part of the reason the company offered to switch to a Chromium-powered browser. The first preview version was recently leaked online, but Microsoft has now given its seal of approval on the browser, built on the same framework as Google Chrome. Microsoft has officially released the first test version of its new Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge.
