Microsoft is pushing hard for Microsoft Edge to become a fully-featured browser even beyond Windows. Edge is already on Chromium 77 in Dev and Canary, while the beta is still based on Chromium 76. Not really, and the simple fact that it’s an older version than the Canary and Dev build is an indication that if you want to test the browser, these are the releases that you should go for. Now, the most important question: should you install this beta build on your Mac? The latest Microsoft Edge Canary for Mac version is 77.0.235.0, while in the Dev channel, the newest release is 77.0.230.2. This beta build is version 76.0.182.22 (direct download link), so it’s even older than the Canary and Dev builds that are available on the Mac right now. Most likely, this is an internal build of Edge beta for macOS, but as Twitter user WalkingCat notes, everyone can install it on Apple computers. What’s important to know, however, is that this build beta isn’t an official release, albeit the download is served by Microsoft’s servers.

Which is basically a Chromium wrapper.An internal beta build of Microsoft Edge for Mac has recently leaked to the web straight from Microsoft servers.

I guess this is because they are using Electron.

I'm using Firefox on Mac sometimes but I would never ever use Edge.Īnd regarding Teams: I'm using Teams with my iPhone because the Mac.app is melting the battery like icecream in the sun. Apple Passwords is just working with Safari. All the goodies it has like Private Relay and so on are just in Safari. Safari is especially made by Apple for MacOS. Yes, there are better examples like Brave and others but in general, Chromium needs way more RAM than Webkit (Safari). Regarding browsers: Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium engine and this makes it to some kind of a resource hog. Microsoft using their own proprietary Email standards messing with almost any other client and even their own, Microsoft and Onedrive constantly syncing till the end of time, Microsoft Office and so on. But I never encountered as much problems as with using Microsoft products on Mac.ĭon't get me wrong, they are trying hard and they are getting better and better but it is still a mess. I have tried and loved and hated a lot of software.
