Microsoft brings Edge browser to iOS and Android

 

If you’ve been waiting for Microsoft to bring its Windows 10 browser to mobile, the wait is almost over. We say almost as Microsoft is initially rolling out the preview Edge browser app to iOS and Android users in the US and only available in English, for now. You’ll need to be part of Microsoft’s Windows Insider Program, which you can sign up for here. The preview app is already available to iOS users and will be coming to Android soon.

If you use Edge on your desktop, then this will bring all your Favorites, Reading List, Reading View, and New Tab Page from the PC to your phone. And then like Apple’s Handoff feature, you can open a page on your phone and send that right off to your laptop or desktop.

Design has been refined with a slimmer body and more rounded corners but at the expense of a headphone jack. Google will include a USB-C adapter for headphone jacks.
