With macOS 10.15 Catalina arriving later this year, we might see the final version of Edge for Mac launch alongside it.Ĭould Edge find success on macOS where it failed on Windows? Stranger things have happened.For some time now, we have known that Microsoft is working to completely redesign its browser, known as Edge, in order to make it much more intuitive, fast and multiplatform, something that fans of the firm undoubtedly love.Īnd, precisely in this last aspect of compatibility, for some time we have been seeing rumors that, taking into account that the new version was going to be based on Chromium, it was possible that they were also working on a version for macOS, something that we finally know was like this, as confirmed by the company itself in an official promotional video. Making Edge available on a range of platforms is a smart move by Microsoft – as even with the advantage of it coming installed by default in Windows 10, the web browser has struggled to gain users compared to its competitors.
Now, a Microsoft web browser might not be something many Apple users have been clamouring for, but it will offer an alternative Chromium web browser for those who don’t want to trust their data with Google and its Chrome browser. Not only was Edge originally a Windows 10-only browser, but it sees a Microsoft-made web browser available on a Mac for the first time since Internet Explorer - and that was 16 years ago, when Microsoft ceased the updates. The fact that Microsoft is releasing its Edge web browser on macOS is remarkable for a few reasons.
We’ve already heard about new features coming to the new Chromium-based Edge web browser during Microsoft’s Build 2019 developer conference, so we could hear more about the Mac version of Edge soon.
