************************************************************
Microsoft Edge has four channel versions: Stable, Beta, Dev, and Canary. Each version corresponds to different development stages and focuses on different features.
The Stable version is the official version of Microsoft Edge, also known as the stable version, widely used in the market; the Beta version is a testing version developed for user testing and validation, a candidate version before the official release; the Dev version is the development branch of Microsoft Edge, allowing early access to the latest features, but also enduring various issues, usually more stable than the Canary version, not recommended for ordinary users; the Canary version incorporates many of the latest features, including cutting-edge and risky content, so it is generally updated frequently and is unstable, not recommended for ordinary users.
