Microsoft Edge for iOS - The browser for all your devices

by

Microsoft Edge for iOS is a pretty solid alternative to Safari and/or whatever else you may me currently use. Give it a try!

Edge has a no-frills UI with a great looking dark mode. Not yet worthy of being a main browser, but assuming Microsoft continues development of it (as it has with Outlook for iOS and To Do), this could be a solid alternative to Safari to keep an eye on.

Pros:

Nice, clean UI. Read on the go coming soon

Cons:

Can only link to PCs.

Lot of elitists in here. I use Firefox/Chrome on Mac. Would love to see Edge make its way over. If you’re commenting and haven’t given Edge a try, you’re not doing yourself any favours. Edge is super fast and reliable, but I don’t use Windows very often so I don’t get to use it. Nice to see it on iOS even if it’s just a wrapper. Shows a big shift for MS. Gonna say this on every Edge post until it happens: MS needs to open source the EdgeHTML rendering engine.

Why aren't there any reaction buttons?

I've been using Edge for iOS over TestFlight for about a month now. There's still no password / credentials sync, which is a deal breaker for me. It's also missing a lot of compelling PC Edge features, like the ability to store away open tabs for later, and web annotations.

But these features will likely come soon, and so if you're a Windows user, I'd keep an eye on this one. If you're a MacOS user, stick to Safari.

Also I should point out, "Continue on PC" is not exclusive to Edge. You can enable it system wide in iOS with the Continue on PC app.

Pros:

"Continue on PC" is a nice feature that lets you pick up where you left off in Edge for Windows, and dark mode looks beautiful.

Cons:

The MSN news feed on the new tab page is filled with clickbait. Thankfully you can turn it off, but I'd rather customize it.

Not available in the Russian Store. Nice.

Microsoft is cheating us with changing name. We already know you're IE. Go home IE

Pros:

New name

Cons:

You know its formerly internet explorer

Actually, I believe that any browser on iOS is actually Safari. That is browsers on iOS have to use the Safari engine.
