Re: Announcing Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android, Microsoft Launcher
#12One 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 organization…
It’s been two years. And I bet normal everyday users aren’t asking for that.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that anyone who understands the concept of different browsers (rather than referring to whatever standard browser they have as "the internet"), uses Edge primarily to download Chrome or Firefox.

#13More 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) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge-mobil...
"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."

At least Firefox Focus (based on Chromium, too) is a "private by default" kind of browser, who those who care about that experience and don't want to mess with settings or don't know how to set it up so that it has maximum privacy. Speaking of which, it would be nice if Firefox Focus also provided an easy-to-use option to enable browsing over Tor.

Are there really people using Microsoft Edge out there? I mean, because they want to, not because they have to?
