Microsoft recently released an update for the Edge browser on Android. Though the update is fairly minor it comes with several improvements and enhancements helping make the app more stable for all users.

According to the Google Play Store, Edge users on Android should now be pushed to version 1.0.0.1656 with this update. Along with the usual bug fixes, new with this version is the ability to customize the New Tab newsfeed based on your own region and language. Also new are improvements to the option which allows users to set Edge as their default browser.
