The reason why we are saying that is because Microsoft has just published a brand-new update for the mobile browser. With that said, let’s go ahead and check out everything there is to know about it.
Microsoft Edge 45.07.2.5057 Update
Right from the start, we want to mention that the new update is rolling out via Microsoft’s official over the air channels and that it sports the 45.07.2.5057 version number. Thanks to this, all Microsoft Edge fans who use Android-powered smartphones are eligible to access the update right away.
There is also an alternative way to access the update. The developers have released the APK version of the update and it is available for manual installation. Although, we do need to mention that installing APKs is a bit tricky and you need to be tech-savvy.
