#2More information about Edge Mobile is available here, however not many technical details (e.g. whether the Android version is just a WebView or if it's the real Edge)

"On iOS, we are using the WebKit engine, as provided by iOS in the WKWebView control. That means that from a compatibility perspective, Microsoft Edge for iOS should match the version of Safari that is currently available for iOS.
On Android, we are using the Blink rendering engine from the Chromium browser project."

#6One of the most common requests we hear from people who use Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 PCs is "we want our browser experience to move to our phones".
That's funny, my most common request is "IT'S BEEN LIKE 5 YEARS, CAN YOU GUYS FINALLY SUPPORT ALL OF THE INDEXEDDB API? EVEN SAFARI DOES IT NOW!"
So sad when poor multinational corporations simply don't have the resources to compete with obscenely wealthy organizations like Mozilla. Maybe they should try open sourcing their browser so the community can pitch in?

It’s been two years. And I bet normal everyday users aren’t asking for that.

It’s no different than Chrome or Firefox on iOS. Standard WebKit rendering with an MS GUI and syncing features to feel more like edge and integrate with the rest of their stuff better.
Sounds like it’s the same on Android too (only using Chromium).
