Microsoft's update to Edge on Android takes 'seems faster' to a whole new level

Microsoft launched Edge Canary for Android yesterday. The new version of Border – 91.0.858.0 – is in line with the Windows 10 desktop version of Border Canary, and every bit a effect, is a massive leap over what Edge offered on Android before. We already covered the news of Edge Canary launching on Android, but I wanted to share a quick first impressions mail of the app.

The current version of Edge beta on Android is 46.03.24.5155, which seems ancient compared to version 91.0.858.0 seen in the new Border Canary. With that massive jump comes a fresh user interface, menu layout, and improved scrolling. Border Canary also supports edge://flags, just like the desktop version of Edge.

The leap comes from the fact that Microsoft is unifying the codebase of Edge across platforms. This will assist bring new features to Edge on Android and other platforms while also easing the development process.

The shift to Border Canary brings a ton of noteworthy improvements, but after downloading the app and using it throughout the mean solar day, my master takeaway is its speed. If the only thing that changed betwixt the old version and the new version was speed, I'd still exist happy, because it'southward as fast as information technology is.

I know information technology's cliche to say that an update "seems faster." It'southward a recurring joke in Microsoft news circles for a reason. That beingness said, Border Canary for Android legitimately does seem faster. The browser absolutely flies for me. Pages load instantly, scrolling is polish, and navigating the browser feels leaps and premises above the standard version of Edge on Android.

Border Canary is in its early stages, so some people have run into bugs and issues. That's to be expected with any app in preview. I happen to be ane of the lucky ones that haven't run into any issues. I've been able to sign in with my Microsoft account and zero across the web.

Ane person on Reddit has been impressed past Edge Canary'due south ability to scale across the Galaxy Fold ii. Others capeesh its speed on displays with 90Hz refresh rates. Overall, it seems like I'1000 non lone in noticing the massive speed bump for Edge on Android.

I hope that this is a glimpse of things to come up. If Border continues in this direction, it could become the best browser on Android.
