Leaked version
The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge won’t be exclusive to Windows 10, and given its new engine, it will also be released on older Windows versions as well. In other words, yes, the new Edge will also run on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, so there you go, seeing this leaked build running so smoothly on the 2009 operating system is something that was expected.Possibly coming to Linux tooWorth noting is that Microsoft also wants to release the new browser on macOS, and there’s a good chance that a Linux version would be announced at some point as well. While the Linux release hasn’t been announced, it makes sense for Microsoft to look into such a project, not only because of the Chromium engine available cross-platform, but also as a result of its “Microsoft loves Linux” push.
For the time being, we’re still waiting for the moment Microsoft gives the green light to the official preview build of the new Edge browser. The company only said this would happen in early 2019, but no further specifics were offered.
