Apple MacBook Air with M1 chip (2020)
Apps For Edge Browser
You don’t have to use Chrome if you want a Chromium-powered browser optimized for Apple’s M1-based Macs. Windows Centralreports that Microsoft has released a beta version of Edge with native support for Apple Silicon. If you live in Microsoft’s ecosystem or just prefer its take on web surfing, you should see better performance and avoid quirks that might pop up using Rosetta 2 translation.
I was missing Microsoft Edge, I came to realise. As I’ve said for almost two years now, Edge is the Chrome we’ve always wanted. It is smoother, faster, not resource-intensive, plus handles battery life really well. So I googled if Edge was available for the Mac, and it was. I installed it and made the switch completely. Microsoft Edge on Apple Silicon Microsoft has added full support for Apple Silicon in the latest version of Microsoft Edge, so the browser now runs natively on devices powered by the custom M1 chip. Microsoft Edge gives you the tools to protect your privacy online with features like tracking prevention, AdBlock Plus and InPrivate browsing. Organise the web in a way that cuts through the clutter, making it easier to find, view and manage your content on the go. Jan 16, 2020 The new version of Microsoft Edge is available across multiple platforms, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Windows, and Android. Like you can do on Apple Safari with iCloud, with a universal Microsoft Account, you can sync your Microsoft Edge favorites, settings, addresses, passwords, and much more, across all of these platforms.
Canary and Dev versions arrived in December and early January respectively, although those were very rough compared to this new software.
The usual caveats apply. The beta still isn’t a polished release, so you might run into bugs. You might want to hold off if you depend on Edge for work. It should still be viable for everyday use, though. This also suggests that a stable release is coming relatively soon —even if you’re cautious, you’ll have yet another M1 browser choice if Safari, Chrome or Firefox doesn’t suit your tastes.
