One of the reasons Microsoft Edge for macOS wasn’t ready at the same time as the Windows 10 builds is because Microsoft has been striving to make Edge look and feel like a macOS app should. For now, only the less stable nightly Canary builds are available, with the somewhat more stable, weekly Dev builds coming soon. Microsoft has announced today, via The Verge, that the first builds of Edge for macOS are ready for testing. We’ve known since its first official announcement, that Microsoft had intended to make the new Edge available on macOS, though no specific timeline was shared. At the same time, though, the company has put a great deal of effort, over the past few years, to make their products great for everyone, not just Windows users. When we first discovered that Microsoft was contributing to Google’s Chromium project, no one could have dreamed that it would culminate in Edge becoming a cross-platform application. As of today, the new, Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is ready to try out on macOS.

One of the exciting prospects to come out of that development is that Edge would be available on non-Windows platforms.

Since late last year, we’ve been following the development of Microsoft’s attempt to start fresh and do things better with their Edge browser by rebuilding it based on Google’s Chromium (the foundation of Google Chrome).
