Microsoft on Thursday rolled out the final version of its Edge browser for Android and iOS devices. The company had launched a beta version of the application last month.

"Edge browser was available exclusively to 'Windows Insiders' and required a PC running Windows 10 in order to sign up. But starting today, any iOS and Android users can download Microsoft Edge for their mobile device," Engadget reported late on Thursday.
