A centralized resource for webdevs
Microsoft Edge Dev for Android is now available for download. It is consistent with some of the desktop versions of Microsoft Edge that are currently in testing. The Edge browser will soon have a unified codebase that will run on all platforms.
The just released Edge Canary, was the first significant step in this direction. Edge Dev now lets users test new browser features on a more stable version of the browser. Despite the fact that Edge Dev is still in beta, it should be less buggy than Edge Canary.
Is Edge for Android based on chromium?
Edge's codebase is platform-agnostic, minimizing development effort redundancy. The upgrade will also help Edge's mobile versions, which will have a revamped UI, a new menu structure, and improved scrolling. Edge now supports edge://flags, allowing you to try out even more features. The Dev branch release, like the Canary release, is based on Edge version 91 and is part of the company's goal to unify the browser's core across platforms.
Edge Dev desktop and mobile versions have been upgraded to 91.0.864.11, while Canary branch builds have been updated to 92. Edge Dev on Android offers the same design enhancements as the Canary releases. You will see significant performance improvements when comparing the Canary edition to the current stable version, which is a welcome update for anyone who prefers Edge over Google Chrome or other mobile browsers.
The most recent Dev builds should benefit from the same improvements. You'll discover options like the ability to utilize Edge Dev as an autofill provider under sync settings. Unifying the codebase across platforms allows Microsoft to simultaneously push out updates to desktop and mobile clients while preserving feature parity. It also has advantages for developers and companies.
