Microsoft Edge has become one of the most popular desktop browsers. In fact, it’s the second most popular browser right now, right behind Google Chrome. As a Chromium-based browser, it shares a lot of features with Google Chrome and other Chromium-. This means that if you’ve used Chrome before, you’ll feel right at home. However, there are a lot of features that Edge still lacks compared to Chrome. One such feature is the ability to share tabs between your devices. But it looks like that’s about to change, as Edge is set to get it soon.

Microsoft is rolling out (via Windows Latest) a new feature in Edge Canary that will allow users to send tabs to other devices. This is useful if you have multiple devices and use Microsoft Edge as your default browser. Basically, you will be able to transfer tabs from your desktop to your Android phone or other Windows devices that are signed in to the same Microsoft account.
The tab sharing feature is coming as part of Edge Canary 92.0.873.0 for desktop and 92.0.870 for Android. To share a tab, go to the webpage you want to share and right-click on the link or tab and from the pop-up menu, select “Send link to [your device name].” The feature is also accessible from the address bar, just like in Google Chrome, and will show you a list of all the synced devices you can share the page with.

When you send a tab from your desktop to your Android phone, you will receive a notification with the link, page name, etc. and clicking on it will open that link in Microsoft Edge.
Tab sharing will work for both. You'll also be able to "send" tabs from your Android phone to your desktop. When you share a link from your phone's Edge browser to your Windows device, a notification will appear in the window's Notification Center.
