They may be getting close too cuz Edge Android hasn't had an update for weeks!

Still haven't got my invite though!

What do you mean? One is just incoming.

*Why do I put myself in these situations!?!?!?*

Are you in the beta program?

Edwin said:

Yup!

Sure enough......

Invite? no one has received or will receive any invitation, when they have ready the first build of the "new" Edge, it can be downloaded and installed just as you can download and install Chrome, Chrome Canary, Chrome Beta, etc.

I remember signing up for the beta.

If you are an IE11 user and are looking to change (good idea) then take a good look at Vivaldi. The more I use it, the more I like it. It's very customizeable and you can import bookmarks from almost any browser. I've completely dumped IE11 (actually removed it form my system via Add/Remove Programs in control panel) and replaced it with Vivaldi. It's not my primary browser yet, that's still Seamonkey but may become so in the near future. It is my secondary browser in place of Firefox.

Not gonna go dig up all the reference posts from all over the globe, but I recall some of the rationale for rewriting Edge internals using the Chromium engine is to make it more cross-platform compatible. OS independent, much as possible. Grab more of the whole market, including Linux, Android, etc. No iPhoney stuff, of course.
