Feeling Edge-y Today?
An Edge Beta Bug Could Net You $15K
How’s that for an incentive to try Microsoft’s new beta version of Edge meets Chromium? Not only can you scream and yell about the interface and compatibility, but you have a chance to pick up a decent chunk of cash if you can discover a serious bug? You can even participate if you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8, regardless of the impending death both OSes face or give it a shot on a Mac.
There are three versions to try, the Beta, the Developer and the Canary build, depending on how brave you are feeling and see if your older apps, which you just managed to get working on the old Edge, will work on the new one.
Preview versions of Edge Chromium have been download over a million times already, but those development and Canary builds were riddled with bugs which have now been squished thanks to over 140,000 individual items of feedback from those intrepid few.
