@androiidedge Thanks for reaching out, and great question. Yes, we do regularly merge with the Chromium Project code, as well as port security fixes in between builds.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions!

@Deleted May I ask how frequently the latest chromium is merged. I am eager to switch to edge on android but I don't want to miss on the CSS prefers-color-scheme or any other chromium features for that matter.

Hi,
Edge on Android is now on the latest version, the same as Edge desktop, everything is new and up to date.
