Microsoft Edge Browser Now Available for iOS and Android

Microsoft Edge Now on Tablets

Microsoft is announcing the availability of their Edge browser on iOS and Android devices. The Edge browser aims to shake off the negative stigma earned by years of sub-par Internet Explorer performance. For the most part, Microsoft has done well since it is much snappier and faster than Internet Explorer. Now after a short beta period, they want to expand the Edge browser’s influence to the mobile market.
