Microsoft Corp. reportedly plans to offer a service called RemoteEdge. As announced during the first week of April at the Microsoft Edge Web Summit, the company will arrange for Web developers to run the company's Edge browser [wikipedia.org] on its Azure [wikipedia.org] cloud computing service, with the results displayed on "any browser" on the developer's local computer. A demonstration showed the service with Chrome running on Windows.

The Edge browser is available only on Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Server 2016, and Xbox One. The RemoteEdge service appears to be intended to permit Web developers without access to those platforms to check their sites' compatibility with Edge.
