Microsoft aims to maintain a consistent style and design across its applications on all platforms. This time, the software giant has introduced a new logo for the beta version of the Edge browser on Android. Visually, it mirrors the logo of the desktop version based on the Chromium engine, which was introduced back in November last year. At that time, developers promised that they would gradually implement the new visual appearance across all platforms.
The new Edge logo is currently limited to beta testers, meaning the old icon is still in use in the stable version. Additionally, the interface has been updated, featuring many useful options.
The company is also releasing an update for iOS, where the new logo has also appeared. It’s clear that developers intend to roll out full releases for mobile platforms soon after the launch of the desktop versions, which are expected on January 15.
Overall, the company from Redmond is clearly preparing to conquer new horizons in the web browser market. Therefore, the highly popular Google Chrome was chosen as the ‘donor’, rather than the beloved open-source favorite Firefox. It is assumed that the unified engine, combined with add-ons from Internet Explorer, will allow the ‘blue browser’ to gain more market share.
