Microsoft presented a new Edge browser - prospects for web designers

Microsoft has introduced a new Edge browser that was previously known as Project Spartan. Although many have talked about its Hub function and the ability to add personal annotations to websites, web designers will use browser differently.

🚀 Although Edge should not become a major browser for most web designers, they will be able to use it daily to test code. Launching Edge indicates a change in Microsoft approach and outlines the development of cooperation and compliance with Web standards.

• 📌 Edge targets the mobile market
• 📌 Edge is an evolution, not a revolution
• 📌 EDGE supports your touch events for the first time for Microsoft browser

💡 Changing the EDGE logo reflects a change in the company's approach. The "E" symbol, which was previously central to the Internet Explorer logo, has now become more minimalist, symbolizing that Microsoft no longer see itself in the center of Web.

⚡ Microsoft realizes that the mobile web is growing and Edge is aimed at this segment. It is unknown if EDGE is available on Android or iOS devices, but given the global sales of Android, it seems inevitable.
