Microsoft has released the first stable version of the company's new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser to the public. While there have been stable releases before, all of these were not officially released by Microsoft.

Windows and Mac OS X users may download the new web browser manually from the Microsoft website; many Home users who run Windows will receive it via Windows Update in the coming months as Microsoft wants to use Windows Update to replace the classic version of the Microsoft Edge web browser with the new Chromium-based version.

The browser is available in 90 languages and Microsoft updated the mobile versions of Edge with new icons to match those of the new browser.

Enterprise and Education devices won't receive the new Microsoft Edge web browser at this point in time.
