Ratings and reviews

While the Windows and iOS versions of Microsoft Edge are two of the best browser apps out there for me, the Android version is, simply speaking, awful. Don't get me wrong, while Edge for Android phones is a very good browser, when you use it in an Android tablet, especially a low-end or mid-end device, you get a subpar experience that is nearly impossible to use. I have a low-end tablet (Huawei M3, Android 7) that I use mainly for reading, so I don't need it to be particularly powerful. Since I switched to Edge as my main browser in my other devices, I tried to use it in this device, but the UI and UX are horrendous. First, the UI is inconsistent: the active tab has square edges, while inactive tabs have round ones, exactly like Chrome. And I can't close tabs without selecting them first, because inactive tabs doesn't have the "X" button visible. Then, if I'm using the tablet in portrait mode, the URL bar length shrinks to only ~6 letters, because of the home, favorites and send buttons are in the way, so is nearly impossible to introduce or edit text. Also, I cannot disable the news feed in the New Tab page. In the settings there's not an option to do it, or I least I couldn't find it. Plus, the reading mode is very limited: there's no way to close it without using the back button, and I can't find a setting to change fonts, colors or at least the font size. Regarding this, Chrome's more useful. As I said, I really like the Windows and iOS versions of Edge, but here in Android I can't say the same, at least speaking of the tablet version.

Really good browser, unfortunately Microsoft did an update that ruined it for a while, but this is now fixed. However, the problems that came with the update made me move to another browser as, at the time, Edge was unusable. If it wasn't for that disastrous update, I would still be using it, as I really liked it. It's a very decent browser. I still use it for work related browsing.

The option to put the address bar at the bottom keeps being reverted and then the option disappears from the appearance menu. No matter what I do I can't get it back manually and then sometimes out of the blue the option is back in the settings menu. Then I can enable it and just wait for it to revert and dissappear again.
