Thanks for the heads up. I was personally aware that Edge had switched
to Chromium and IIUC one of the argument was that they would no longer
need to wait for OS updates to upgrade the browser, but I didn't know
that they are updating it so frequently now. Does anyone know more about
there release schedule ? do they have something like
https://www.chromestatus.com/features/schedule?

For the record we are also using

https://build-chromium.igalia.com/mathml/torture-test/mathml-torture-test.html

which uses latin modern math as a woff font.

Another one with WOFF open source fonts is

Some more doc about math font is available on MDN:
