Edge web browser for iOS and Android are initially launched in beta. With this release, the company wishes to bring a Windows 10-like browsing experience to the mobile devices as well.
This surely seems like a logical step for Microsoft as it’ll help them help Android and iOS work coherently with Windows 10. This move will help the users synchronize their work on desktop and mobile devices with the help of features like Favorites, Reading List, New Tab Page and Reading View.
A big advantage of using Microsoft Edge on Android and iOS for existing Windows 10 users would be the ability to push web pages across the devices and instantly continue working on different platforms.
It’s worth noting that the initial preview will be launched only in US-English. With time, it’ll be expanded to other languages and countries as well. Some features like roaming passwords and support for tablet devices will also be rolled out in future.
