Microsoft Edge and Continuum: Your desktop browser on Mobile

Continuum for Phones, available on select Windows 10 Mobile devices, allows customers Microsoft Support Phone Number to connect their phone to a monitor, projector, or TV for a full-sized microsoft closing stores desktop experience Support.Microsoft.Com/Help, powered by their phone. Because Microsoft Edge is built on the Universal Windows Platform, Microsoft Edge in Continuum is able to provide a full desktop browser experience.

Continuum allows Windows 10 Mobile users to have a PC-like experience when connected to an external display and a mouse and keyboard. When connected (via a Wired dock  uninstall microsoft edge or via Bluetooth and Miracast), Universal Windows Apps like Office and Microsoft Edge will adapt Microsoft Support Phone Number their interface and behavior to provide a desktop-like experience tailored to mouse and keyboard input.

Microsoft Edge will recognize when microsoft closing stores a phone switches into Continuum and any sites opened after Support.Microsoft.Com/Help the switch will render using desktop behavior, including the desktop UA string.

If a tab is open to a mobile site, and the device switches to Continuum, the tab will be sustained. If the tab is refreshed uninstall microsoft edge, and it isn’t a mobile-specific URL, it will reload in a desktop view Support.Microsoft.Com/Help. This ensures that users do not lose unsaved changes (such as a partially-filled form) on a site while switching from the phone to Continuum.

We’re committed to making Continuum as close to the desktop experience as possible without microsoft closing stores adding any additional overhead for Web Developers – try it out on a Windows 10 Mobile device and let us know what you think! If you have questions or are curious how your site looks in Continuum, reach out to  on Twitter, and we’d be happy to help

Microsoft Edge takes full advantage of the Universal Windows Platform to provide a complete desktop-like Microsoft Support Phone Number experience in Continuum uninstall microsoft edge — when the device is connected microsoft closing stores to a larger display Support.Microsoft.Com/Help, Microsoft Edge turns into a desktop browser, adapting the interface and rendering characteristics to match Microsoft Edge on PCs.

In fact, Microsoft Edge in Continuum is nearly indistinguishable from its PC twin, which is a fun party trick when presenting at events or in meetings.

Because Microsoft Edge uses the same engine across all Windows 10 devices, the rendering behavior is the same across Windows 10 devices, including Windows 10 Mobile devices. The only differences are due to certain device-specific qualities Support.Microsoft.Com/Help – for example, codec support may be different on phones due to missing hardware acceleration, and Flash is not supported on Windows 10 Mobile. Because Windows 10 Mobile has a different background model Microsoft Support Phone Number, Real time communication APIs are also uninstall microsoft edge currently not supported. Finally, Windows 10 Mobile does not support Flash in order to provide a modern, touch-focused, and power-efficient experience appropriate microsoft closing stores for a mobile device. Because of this, Flash is not supported in Microsoft Edge in Continuum.

Developers in general Microsoft Customer Service won’t have to give any special consideration to Microsoft Edge in Continuum Support.Microsoft.Com/Help. By design, it will behave like a desktop client, including sending a desktop User-Agent string.

As always, we recommend that you don’t try to detect based on the User Agent string — if you use responsive microsoft closing stores design and feature detection, your site should just work on Continuum Microsoft Support Phone Number. However, for some cases, including analytics or to provide a specifically tailored experience, developers may wish to detect when Microsoft Edge is running in Continuum.

Running desktop sites on phone is challenging, so we’ve made optimizations in the Anniversary Update Microsoft Customer Service to tailor performance to provide a more desktop-like experience. On PCs, Microsoft Edge offloads scrolling from uninstall microsoft edge the UI thread to provide a more fluid scrolling experience Support.Microsoft.Com/Help during page load/painting. In the Anniversary Update, this same feature is now supported in Continuum, even when scrolling via the mouse or microsoft closing stores keyboard. This results in a smoother experience even while the page is loading or painting.
