One of the challenges Microsoft faced was incorporating support for the PlayReady web DRM system, which is used by services like Netflix to support 4K streaming.

But thanks to a leaked slide deck from a presentation set to be given by the company's group program manager for web platform, Jatinder Mann, we have some idea of the company's plans, as well as the changes Microsoft made behind the scenes to get Edge running on Chromium. Microsoft is expected to share more details on the project as part of the BlinkOn Chromium developer conference later this week.

A more stable beta channel, updated every six weeks, will also be coming soon. Currently, the previews are only available for Windows 10 devices, But Microsoft says it is working on bringing versions to Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and macOS.
