Continue on PC started life as a celebrated feature built around the idea of “what if you could seamlessly continue your Android or iOS web browsing activities on PC?” It’s a feature that’s served many people well for the past few years, but all good things must come to an end, and it looks like Continue on PC‘s end is July 27, 2021.
Spotted by Tom James over on Twitter, Continue on PC has received an expiration date.
But all hope is not yet lost! Very recently, Microsoft Edge began testing a tab-sending feature that may replace Continue on PC’s functionality.
As our news writer Sean Endicott wrote, “right now, you can only use it to send a tab from Edge (stable) on the desktop to another PC or to Edge Canary or Dev on mobile devices,” proceeding to mention that he was able to send tabs from his PC to his Edge Canary-equipped Android device. However, he did mention it was a hit-or-miss process that didn’t resemble a finished product’s execution.
Even as a work in progress that’s not available to everyone (or even most people) just yet, it’s worth paying attention to. It’s a start on filling the void Continue on PC will be leaving. Will it be able to match the exiting feature’s capabilities or exceed them? One would hope so, given that Edge is routinely trying to build its rep as the definitive browser by taking features that are already known about and improving them.
