What you need to know
Microsoft Edge Dev is now available through the Google Play Store (viaTechdows). Edge Dev is currently version 91.0.864.11, which brings it more in line with some of the desktop versions of Microsoft Edge currently in testing. It’s also a massive leap over the current stable version of Edge on Android, which is running version 46.03.24.5155.
The Edge browser will soonshare a unified codebase across platforms. The recently-releasedEdge Canary on Androidwas the first major step in this direction. Now, Edge Dev allows people to test out new features for the browser on a more stable version. Edge Dev is still a developmental version of the browser, but it should have fewer issues than Edge Canary.
Unifying the codebase of Edge across platforms reduces the redundancy of development efforts. It also brings improvements to the mobile versions of Edge, including a new user interface, new menu layout, and improved scrolling. The new versions of Edge also support edge://flags, which lets you try out even more features.
When I first tried out Edge Canary, I was blown away by its speed. Unsurprisingly, Edge Dev sees a similar improvement. When Edge Canary first launched, it was on version 91.0.858.0, which is behind the version currently on Edge Dev.
Microsoft Edge Dev is currently on version 91, which brings it more in line with the desktop version of Edge. With it, you can test out new features for Microsoft’s mobile browser.
