Windows 11 users can now download the Edge browser from the Microsoft Store. We are still in a testing environment.
During its official presentation on June 24, Windows 11 released a number of new features, including a newer version of the Microsoft Store. The goal is to keep developers open with the possibility of releasing 32 applications. This site also supports UWP (Universal Windows App) and PWA (Advanced Web Applications) applications.
Microsoft Edge Browser
This promise has been kept because many Win32 software are now available. We have Adobe Reader and VLC or Microsoft Edge for example. Windows Insider users can now recover the browser from this source. The process is quick, but the process starts the installation program. The latter is responsible for downloading all data required for installation. So it is not retrieved directly from the Microsoft Store.
With Windows 11 and Windows Store, more browsers are coming
Looks like other browsers will be available soon. Expect Chromium solutions like Chrome, Vivaldi or Brave. Mozilla has also confirmed its intention to offer Firefox through this new distribution channel.
Keep in mind that Edge is not the only utility to shop from Microsoft, we have Notepad and Paint. These “popular” applications have become standalone software that can be updated independently of the operating system.
