“While feature updates will be packaged and delivered with new version releases based on the selected release cycle, important security patches and fixes will be delivered as needed independent of the selected release option to help maintain browser security.” “For instance, if an organization selects the 8-week Extended Stable release cycle with Microsoft Edge 94, they will receive subsequent feature updates with Microsoft Edge 96, Microsoft Edge 98, and so on,” the Edge team explains. So any feature updates from odd-numbered releases will be packaged up and delivered as part of the subsequent even-numbered release. The new 8-week Extended Stable release cycle option for Microsoft Edge Stable will deliver cumulative feature updates aligned with even-numbered releases beginning with Microsoft Edge 94, Microsoft says. “Organizations can just select the release cycle option that is right for them.”

“To more effectively serve organizations who may want a longer timeline, we will offer a new 8-week Extended Stable release cycle option, configurable by Group Policy, in addition to the regular 4-week Stable release cycle which will be the default beginning with Microsoft Edge 94,” the Microsoft Edge team writes in a new blog post.

Today, it expanded on how that will work.

But it also said that it would offer businesses a slower 8-week extended release cycle via a new Extended Stable channel. Back in March, Microsoft announced that it would move its Edge web browser from a 6-week release cycle to a 4-week release cycle.
