Microsoft Edge browser preview now available on Android

Microsoft launched its Edge browser for Android and iOS devices as a preview last week. However, it was only available for iOS devices. And now the company has launched a preview for Android.

The Edge preview is available for download from the Google Play Store, and will support devices running Android 4.4 and up. The Android version of Edge has some of the key features found on Windows 10's desktop app including Favorites, Reading List, New Tab Page, Reading View, among others.

There's also a feature called 'continue on your PC' which allows you to immediately open the page you're looking on your mobile device, right on your PC with a tap of a button. For this feature to work, you PC should run Windows 10 Fall Creators update, which will roll out next week.
