Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out Microsoft Edge Beta, a Communication app by Microsoft Corporation on BlueStacks.

This feels like a slightly experimental version of Edge that landed on a desktop via BlueStacks, so it is familiar but with a few new twists. Tabs, the address bar, and the settings menu look like what people expect from Edge, but there are little changes here and there — new options in menus, a different take on tab grouping, and some early privacy toggles that are not yet in the regular release. It runs comfortably with mouse and keyboard on a PC, which makes testing mobile-only features on a big screen oddly satisfying. It is faster to try things out than wait for the stable channel, but not everything is finished, so occasional crashes or odd layout quirks can show up.

This is clearly meant for users who like poking at new stuff and sending feedback. Prompts to report bugs or rate features pop up now and then, so this is a good fit for someone willing to help polish things. It will not replace a stable browser for critical work, though; it is best for exploring and getting a sense of what might arrive in the main build. Overall it presents a neat peek at upcoming additions, and running it through BlueStacks makes that peek comfortable on a PC.

Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
