Microsoft is rolling out its Edge Web browser to the iPad in beta form, following up on an iPhone release in November.
The iPad app is largely identical to the iPhone version, but more useful simply for having a bigger view. It retains core features such as "Continue on PC," letting people push content to Windows 10, and the ability to switch between light and dark themes.
The app doesn't support iOS 11's split-screen multitasking functions however, and Microsoft has yet to enable promised tab sync between platforms.
Access to the iPad app requires signing up with Microsoft as an Edge tester, and downloading the beta through Apple's TestFlight.

This will be huge! Dozens of users.
Must drain the batteries fast. In the first picture, the battery level is at 1 percent. All I can say is quick surfing.
"Continue on PC" ????? ... Edge is an abomination on Microsoft's own operating system :D
My understanding is that all of the iOS bowsers must use Webkit, so are these anything more than different skins on the same engine?
