I think the commenter is referring to browsers that auto update on relevant (non-package managed) platforms.
If IE 11 auto-updated to Edge, then it would be considered Evergreen under this definition.
I am not sure how good of an adjective evergreen is in this case, if it is being used how I imagine it is being used.
- WorldMaker 6y agoFor most of its history IE auto-updated but was never considered evergreen because its update cycle was tied to the much slower OS update cycle and the cost gating of OS upgrade purchases. Evergreen tends to also imply "shorter update cycle" (at least regular six-month intervals seems to be the general case now) and little to no gating.
- int_19h 6y agoWhat do you call it when the OS auto-installs Edge alongside IE, and sets it up as the default browser if IE was one?
