A modern software application increasingly resembles a standard file upload module from a remote server. Due to the high connection speed, users often don't even notice this. However, there are situations where an offline installer is simply necessary. This applies to companies and corporations.
Of course, no one in their right mind would download the same software 100 times for a hundred different computers. That is why Microsoft and the offline installer for the new Edge browser based on Chromium, which will allow the program to be deployed automatically on a large number of PCs.
It is available on a separate page and allows you to choose the version — 32 or 64 bits. There is also an installer for Mac. After downloading the package with the .msi extension, you only need to double-click it to start the installation. It should be noted that only the Dev version for developers is available. Clearly, the company decided not to bother with creating daily Canary builds as standalone packages. Let’s remember that the Dev version is updated once a week, so new features will appear there a bit later than in the Canary channel.
This site also offers configuration files for enterprises, which will help set up Edge and manage its updates in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10.
It is worth noting that, according to rumors, the new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium will become the default browser in Windows 10. This will happen in the spring update 201H, which is expected to be released in April or May of next year. Of course, unless Redmond delays the release again.
