IPad Users Can Now Try Microsoft's Edge Browser Beta

Currently, Microsoft offers us a large number of applications in the App Store, a large number where we can find each and every one of the services currently offered by the company at the desktop level and where the Office suite together with its mail manager, Outlook, are its main attraction.

But they are not the only ones, although they are for now. The Redmond-based company launched last November a mobile version of your Microsoft Edge browser for the iPhone, a version that little by little has been receiving new functions to try to get hold of the share of users who use Windows on a day-to-day basis.

Although seeing the success it has had in its version for PC, specifically for Windows 10 (the only operating system in which it is available) where market share has been declining since it was officially launched in August 2015, Microsoft has to do things very well so that current users of Chrome (the most used browser on desktop computers) consider at some point, changing the browser for the option offered by Microsoft.

Unsurprisingly, Microsoft has just released the first beta of Microsoft Edge, this time for iPad, a beta that in principle does not offer us the split window function that allows us to open two split screen applications on the same screen and that allows us to increase productivity. Presumably, in future updates Microsoft will add this function, since otherwise, it can be dedicated to something other than the development of browsers.

One of the functions that it does offer us is the option to continue browsing on PC, a function that Safari also offers us on Macs (models from 2012 onwards), but not Chrome, so this function may be more than enough reason for some users to be able to find themselves again with Microsoft's Edge browser , a browser that is not bad, but in the first versions for Windows 10, it left a lot to be desired.

In particular, I am a person who likes to try new applications and I admit that I tried it again and again with Edge for Windows 10, but the low speed, the lack of compatibility when loading some web pages and especially the lack of extensions , they hurt me go back to firefox again, a browser that offers us practically the same functions as Chrome but without the big brother of Google knowing at all times that we are looking for or that we are not looking.
