What you need to know
- Microsoft Edge Dev is now available for testing on Android.
- Edge Dev is currently on version 91 compared to version 92 that's on Edge Canary.
- Being on version 91 brings Edge Dev more in line with the desktop version of Microsoft Edge.
The Edge browser will soon share a unified codebase across platforms. The recently-released Edge Canary on Android was 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.
