Microsoft updates Edge for Android: the goal is to conquer the user and Chrome is in the spotlight

One of the successes for this year with which Microsoft has surprised us has come from its Edge browser, but not the version that we can use in Windows, but the one that they have released for the competing operating systems. Edge is available for iOS and Android and especially in the latter the success has been overwhelming.

Therefore it is not surprising that from the American company creator of the Windows operating system they have a great commitment to offering the best possible experience Edge for Android may be the door to attract more users and steal some market share from Chrome. More than enough reasons to know what the latest released update offers.

Minor but fundamental improvements

Edge comes to Android in version 42.0.0.2313, an update that brings a series of minor improvements but above all an optimization in as far as browser performance is concerned.

To this end, they have added a new direct access that offers the user a link to the "news and advice" page with the aim of Learn about the improvements introduced and how to get the most out of the browser.

Similarly annotations have been improved through which we can add notes and highlights to PDF documents. A measure similar to the one they took with the books and that seeks to improve productivity in the browser and that we can perform tasks without having to leave it and use third-party applications.

To finish and as usually happens with all the updates that we see arriving in the different applications, not only in Edge, we seek to improve the stability and performance of the systemby fixing bugs and optimizing browser performance.

Microsoft Edge for Android can be downloaded from Google Play and it seems that users are liking it, because it has already had more than five million downloads. A figure to take into account especially if we think that has to fight against titans like Firefox and especially Chrome, which is already pre-installed on almost all phones with the operating system of the green robot.
