Microsoft Edge is updated for Android and now includes AdBlock Plus to prevent the harassment of the most annoying advertising

Let's talk about Edge again, the browser owned by Microsoft with which the Redmond company seeks to achieve two objectives: to make the user forget old Internet Explorer and on the other hand and even more difficult, trying to scratch market share from both Google Chrome and Firefox. What happens is that it seems very difficult to steal their places on the podium.

Microsoft has released its applications and are not only available within the Windows Microsoft Edge ecosystem, as well as other applications such as They are the Office _suite_ or Microsoft Launcher, to name just two, it is also present in iOS and Android and we are going to stay with this last system.

The version of Edge beta that can already be downloaded from Google Play has the number 42.0.02055 and is added to others how the one he received a few days ago and that allowed him to read books purchased from the Microsoft Store.

Microsoft has had great success with Launcher, its Android app launcher, and while not as overwhelming, the work with Edge has also paid off in the form of more than 5 million downloads from Google Play, nothing insignificant if we take into account that it plays in Chrome territory and that it also competes with alternatives such as Firefox or Opera among others.

The version that currently appears on Google Play is the previous one, the one with the number 42.0.02053, so it is to be expected that Edge is in the most current version is reaching the different users in the form of a phased update.
