Microsoft Edge browser now available for all Android and iOS users; Beta testing finally over.
Microsoft unveiled a beta version of its Edge web browser last month for iOS and Android. You can download them from here Play Store Link and Apple's App store Link.
Testers had to sign-up to get special access to the beta version of the new browser, but Microsoft has made both the Android and iOS versions generally available from Thursday. Microsoft Edge for mobile is mainly useful if you tend to resume a lot of browsing from a phone to a Windows 10 PC.
Microsoft has integrated its “continue on PC” functionality directly into Edge for iOS and Android, so you can ping a site over to your PC if it’s just not loading properly on mobile or you want to continue with a mouse and keyboard. Edge also includes access to favorites, history, reading list, and ebooks. Sadly, Microsoft still hasn’t added tab syncing to Edge for mobile, so you can’t share tabs or history between PC and phone.
Microsoft is planning to support tab syncing and the iPad at some point in the future, but both features probably won’t arrive until next year. Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android is available on Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store.
Currently Google Chrome is world's most popular browsers having a market share of over 50% while Edge still stuck on <5%. It's gonna be quite challenging for Microsoft to give a good competition to Chrome, at least in Android.
