Your browser already synced the tab and when u opened it, it was there and you continued reading. Now you are in your bed and you wanna continue reading. Problem is, no browser by Microsoft for you to seamlessly sync the history and tabs on your android phone. Now, if u completely twist it, u can easily download chrome on all three devices sync easily throughout the devices and have your work done seamlessly. So easily google wins. I think now is the right time for ms edge to launch on competing platforms too. Because people are easily gonna forgive you for the setbacks and ugly glitches, rather than releasing it five years from now. People do buy things when the experience is flawless and performs exactly of what was promised, and in this case, deep integration within their services. Not having a browser completely kills the idea of having deep integration within the services provided by Ms.
Firefox also works in that scenario.
Actually, I use Firefox as my default browser for everything except Windows Phone, only because Windows Phone doesn't have Firefox. Of all the devices I own, the majority of them cannot use IE/Edge anyway. Firefox is compatible with the most devices (2 Windows PCs, 1 Windows tablet, 2 Linux PCs, 1 Android smartphone, 1 Android tablet).
