Users can download the Edge browser from the Microsoft Edge website while the native app would arrive on the Mac App Store eventually. The development also indicates that Microsoft may bring more native apps like Teams or Outlook for the new Mac devices featuring Apple M1 Silicon chip, in the future though, it is just a speculation, and the actual implementation may take more time. The software giant further stated that M1 Mac users can still use Edge via Apple’s Rosetta 2 emulator that was introduced with the next generation MacOS Big Sur. The announcement was made by Edge developers on Twitter last week, just days after Google released its new Chrome version for the M1 Mac lineup that includes the 13-inch MacBook Pro, 13-inch MacBook Air, and the new Mac mini. For M1 Mac users who are interested, you can go ahead and check out the beta via Microsoft’s website.Microsoft has announced that the company is working on a Microsoft Edge browser version that is tailored specifically for the M1-powered Mac devices. It also means that extensions available on Chrome should also be supported on Edge, so like we said, it might be a good alternative. The newer versions are built on Chromium, which is the same platform that Google uses for its Chrome browser, which means that it shouldn’t be too different of an experience if you’re coming from Chrome. Microsoft has made some changes to its Edge browser ever since it was first announced. This could be a good alternative for users who don’t want to use Safari or Chrome, so do keep an eye out for it. Prior to this, Microsoft did announce that the app was available in the dev channel, so moving to the beta channel suggests that its release to the general public might not be too far off. This particular version of Edge has been designed and optimized for the M1 platform (and ARM in general).
Microsoft has announced that its Edge browser is currently in the beta channel. That being said, it seems that some are wasting no time in doing so.
Obviously having native software would be ideal, but at the same time, we suppose we’ll have to give developers more time to create native M1 apps. Thanks to the Rosetta 2 translation software, Apple’s M1-powered Macs can run x86 based software.
