You can find Edge beta by looking at Edge which is the only one advertised in PlayStore. For members on Android phones Look for Microsoft Edge Tap it to scroll down and locate the info 'join beta' or you will not see it. Jul 07, 2020 The Microsoft Edge browser that you’re using on your Android smartphone is based on Chromium, similar to the Edge desktop browser. The browser behaves pretty much the same way on both smartphones and desktops, but Edge on Android is currently missing an important feature that has been available in Edge desktop since day one —. Microsoft Edge is a free browser app available to download on your Android device. Easily sync your passwords, favorites, Collections, and other saved data across your signed-in devices in the browser app.

Use Device emulation to approximate how your page looks and responds on a mobile device. The Microsoft Edge DevTools provide a collection of features to help you emulate mobile devices. The collection includes the following features.

Limitations

Device emulation is a first-order approximation of the look and feel of your page on a mobile device. Device emulation does not actually run your code on a mobile device. Instead you simulate the mobile user experience from your laptop or desktop.

Some aspects of mobile devices are never emulated in DevTools. For example, the architecture of mobile CPUs is different than the architecture of laptop or desktop CPUs. When in doubt, your best bet is to actually run your page on a mobile device. Use Remote Debugging to interact with the code of a page from your machine while your page actually runs on a mobile device. You may view, change, debug, profile, or all four while you interact with the code. Your machine may be a notebook or desktop computer.

Simulate a mobile viewport

Choose Toggle device emulation () or choose Customize and control DevTools (...) > Device emulation to open the UI that enables you to simulate a mobile viewport.

By default the Device Toolbar opens in Responsive Viewport Mode.

Responsive Viewport Mode

To quickly test the look and feel of your page across multiple screen sizes, drag the handles to resize the viewport to your required dimensions. You may also enter specific values in the width and height boxes. In the following figure, the width is set to 626 and the height is set to 516.

Show media queries

If you have defined media queries on your page, jump to the viewport dimensions where those media queries take effect by showing media query breakpoints above your viewport. Choose More options > Show media queries.

Choose a breakpoint to change the width of the viewport so that the media query gets triggered.

Set the device type

Use the Device Type list to simulate a mobile device or desktop device.

The following table describes the differences between the available device type options. The Rendering method column refers to whether Microsoft Edge renders the page as a mobile or desktop viewport. The Cursor icon column refers to what type of cursor is displayed when you hover on the page. The Events triggered column refers to whether the page triggers touch or click events when you interact with the page.

Option	Rendering method	Cursor icon	Events triggered
Mobile	Mobile	Circle	touch
Mobile (no touch)	Mobile	Normal	choose
Desktop	Desktop	Normal	choose
Desktop (touch)	Desktop	Circle	touch

If the Device Type list is not displayed, choose More options > Add device type.

Mobile Device Viewport Mode

To simulate the dimensions of a specific mobile device, select the device from the Device list.

Rotate the viewport to landscape orientation

Test your webpage in landscape orientation.

• To rotate the viewport to landscape orientation, choose Rotate ().

Note

The Rotate button disappears if your Device Toolbar is narrow.

For more information, navigate to Set orientation.

Show device frame

Display the physical device frame around the viewport when you simulate the dimensions of a specific mobile device such as an iPhone 6.

1. Open More options.
2. Choose Show device frame.

Note

If a device frame for a particular device is not displayed, it means that DevTools does not have art for the option.

Add a custom mobile device

If the mobile device option that you need is not included on the default list, you may add a custom device. To add a custom device, complete the following steps.

1. Choose the Device list > Edit.

2. Choose Add custom device.

3. On Emulated Devices, enter a device name, screen width, and screen height for the custom device. The device pixel ratio, user agent string, and device type fields are optional. The device type field defaults to Mobile.

Show rulers

If you need to measure screen dimensions, you may use rulers to measure the screen size in pixels. Choose More options > Show rulers to display rulers above and to the left of your viewport.

Zoom the viewport

To test the look and feel of your page at multiple zoom levels, use the Zoom list to zoom in or out.

Throttle the network and CPU

Mobile devices often have network and CPU constraints. Ensure you test how quickly your page loads and how it responds at different internet and CPU speeds.

Throttle the network and CPU.

1. Choose Throttle list and change the preset to Mid-tier mobile or Low-end mobile.
   • Mid-tier mobile simulates fast 3G and throttles your CPU. It is four times slower than normal.
   • Low-end mobile simulates slow 3G and throttles your CPU. It is six times slower than normal.

All of the throttling is based upon the normal capability of your laptop or desktop.

Note

If the Throttle list is hidden, your Device Toolbar is too narrow. To access the Throttle list, increase the width of the Device Toolbar.

Throttle the CPU only

To throttle the CPU only and not the network, complete the following steps.

1. Choose the Performance panel, and choose Capture Settings ().

2. Choose CPU > 4x slowdown or 6x slowdown.

Throttle the network only

To throttle the network only, complete the following steps.

1. Choose the Network tool.

2. Choose Online > Fast 3G or Slow 3G.

   Or select Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) or Command+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Menu, type 3G, and choose Enable fast 3G throttling or Enable slow 3G throttling.

You may also set network throttling from the Performance panel.

1. Choose Capture Settings () and choose the Network list and change the preset to Fast 3G or Slow 3G.

Override geolocation

Microsoft Edge Chromium Android

If your page depends on geolocation information from a mobile device to render properly, provide different geolocations using the geolocation overriding UI.

1. Choose Customize and control DevTools (...) > More tools > Sensors.

1. Open the Command Menu.

• Select Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) or Command+Shift+P (macOS).

1. Type Sensors, and choose Show Sensors.

On the Sensors panel, you may select one of the preset locations included in DevTools using the Location drop-down menu. To enter a custom location, choose Other… and enter the coordinates of your custom location. To test your page in an error state when location information is unavailable, choose Location unavailable.

Set orientation

If your page depends on orientation information from a mobile device to render properly, open the orientation UI.

1. Choose Customize and control DevTools (...) > More tools > Sensors.

1. Open the Command Menu.

• Select Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) or Command+Shift+P (macOS).

1. Type Sensors, and choose Show Sensors.

On the Sensors panel, you may select a preset orientation from the Orientation drop-down menu. To enter your own orientation, choose Custom orientation, and enter your own alpha, beta, and gamma values.

Set user agent string

If your page depends on the user agent string from a mobile device to render properly, use the Network conditions panel to provide different user agent strings.

1. Choose Customize and control DevTools (...) > More tools > Network conditions.

1. Open the Command Menu.

• Select Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) or Command+Shift+P (macOS).

At long last, Microsoft has a web browser that the market seems to like. Their new Chromium-based Edge browser has enjoyed rampant growth over the past twelve months, seeing its market share increase by 1300 percent for the year. It should be noted that one year ago, Chromium-based Edge had a market share of just 0.57 percent, and their rampant growth has seen that increase to 8.03 percent.

Google's Chrome browser, which currently holds a 67.14 percent market share is by no means in immediate danger of losing its position as the dominant browser on the web.

Even so, it would be a mistake to discount the new Edge browser's progress. It's essentially the same as Google's Chrome browser in that it uses the same engine and can make use of all of Chrome's extensions. Plus it's got a few native features that make it unique. So it really is a good browsing option, and its recent flurry of growth has seen it surpass Mozilla's Firefox browser, which currently holds a market share of just 7.95 percent.

To give you a more complete picture of the browser market breakdown, here are the top five contenders:

• Google Chrome: 67.14 percent
• Apple's Safari: 10.11 percent
• Chromium Edge: 8.03 percent
• Mozilla's Firefox: 7.95 percent
• Edge Legacy: 0.44 percent

With a constellation of other, smaller browsers (Brave, Opera, and a handful of others) each claiming a tiny slice of the market.

When Microsoft first released their latest version of Edge, it was believed that Google's Chrome browser would take the biggest hit, but the reality is that Google's market share barely budged, but Firefox seems to be slowly dying.

Later this year, Microsoft will begin forcibly retiring Legacy Edge, which should see it vanish from the list entirely, and it's likely that most of those users will stick with the new Edge browser. At this point, it's impossible to say what the future holds for the market long term, except to say that Google's browser should retain its title of King of the Hill for the foreseeable future.
