Nearby share support in edge browser?
In chrome v86.0.4217.2, there's a flag called "Nearby share" which enables nearby share support for files with android devices, Also check this article (XDA) to understand better. I just checke...
check for urself... install the chromium browser and search for "Nearby share" flag.. the flag has already been added to the chrome browser, so if it isn't available on the chromium browser then it means that Google has no intention for allowing other devices to use this feature.(#. on off chance if it is available, then the implementation would depend on MS.
Moreover, Nearby share is an Android Mainline project pushed through Google Play Store... I don't think it will be available on open source.

That's what I fear of. Although nearby share seems to be specific to chrome desktop (google stuff), Also Edge on android also not even close to chrome android, people who love to link their android and desktop workflow will prefer chrome over edge.
For me personally, I hate chrome, and I don't want to use chrome just for this 'nearby share' functionality. That's why I hope MS add some functionality like this in edge.
