Verdict:įinally, Edge Chromium comes to Windows 10 and we're impressed. To use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer on Mac: Go to the Develop menu in Safari’s menu bar. So you can import some of your favourite Chrome extensions from the get-go.
What's instantly noticeable is support for existing Chrome extensions. Microsoft this week released an early version of Edge written specifically for Apples new ARM-based Macs, making it the last of the top four browser makers to take its app native. Right now, only your favourites are synchronised. Unlike Chrome, Microsoft has deployed their own account system which will eventually synchronise your data including favourites, extensions, themes and browsing history. With the above in mind, and the need to be able to produce a solid, competitive and secure web browser, Microsoft has decided to stop trying to build their own from scratch and move to a Chromium framework, which is the engine that powers Google Chrome and other browsers.Įdge is the release version of this new browser. This is the trust placed by end users in Microsoft and their development.
That could soon change thanks to the arrival of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. In total, the two browsers control 93 percent of the market on macOS.

Despite having far more powerful alternatives, users paranoid about the dangers lurking around the internet would insist on using Internet Explorer.
Microsoft never appears to be completely happy with their web browser.
