A little less than two months ago, Microsoft opened their program so that any user interested in testing Microsoft Edge, the browser built into Windows 10, could do so on their iOS device through the Test Flight application. Two months after opening the gown program, the application is now available so that any user interested in using it can test it directly on their device and thus be able to take advantage of the synchronization and continuity functions that it offers us. Yes, for now the launch of this application is limited to a small group of countries Among which we find the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, China and India.
Microsoft Edge for iOS in addition to allowing us to synchronize the bookmarks that we have stored in Microsoft Edge for Windows 10, it also allows us to continue the visit we are making to a web page from our iPhone or iPad on the PC. This function, which is currently not available in Chrome or in Firefox, may be a claim more than enough for PC users, since it allows us to continue the visit or search that we are doing directly on our computer without having to start from new.
In addition, thanks to the synchronization of the markers, it is now much easier to be able to access any bookmark that we have stored on our computer from anywhere we are. Microsoft continues to release versions of its applications for both iOS and Android.
Microsoft's initial idea when it launched its new browser, to make Explorer forget, was not to offer this browser on any other platform, an error that has cost him the loss of a large number of users of the desktop platform, due, among other things, to the fact that it was not compatible with the extensions during its first year on the market, some extensions that are available in the main browsers on the market, such as Safari, Chrome and Firefox, and that allow us to add an extra comfort to the tasks we usually perform or for those that the website does not offer us, such as downloading videos, blocking trackers ...
Microsoft did not take into account that Internet searches are increasingly carried out from mobile devicesTherefore, not offering an application for this type of device that would allow the bookmarks to be synchronized with the desktop version, left the browser in a very bad position with respect to its rivals. Personally, I think it is not too late for the Redmond-based company to recoup some of the share that it has lost in recent years due to this problem.
