Microsoft's new Extended Stable release cycle option will be available to all Edge users beginning in September with the release of version 94 of the company's browser.

Once an organization opts in to the new release cycle, Microsoft Edge Stable will receive cumulative feature updates that align with even-numbered
releases of the browser. New features that are added in odd-numbered releases will then be packaged up and delivered as part of the subsequent
even-numbered release according to a new blog post from the Microsoft Edge Blog.
