Last month, Microsoft announced the release of the first preview builds of the new Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge for Windows 10. Now, a version for macOS is available for download.
It is reported that Microsoft Edge for macOS will offer the same new browsing features as the Windows version. It will receive user interface optimizations designed specifically for Mac, including fonts, menus, keyboard shortcuts, and more. In the future, a series of changes are expected as Microsoft continues to experiment with the program's appearance.
Moreover, Microsoft is developing user interfaces that are exclusive to macOS. This includes support for the Touch Bar on the latest high-end MacBook Pro models, allowing users to display website shortcuts, switch between tabs, and use the bar for navigation.
The new preview builds of Microsoft Edge for macOS are available as part of the Insider Program. Currently, this is the Canary version, but soon the company will launch the Dev channel. Installation requires macOS 10.12 or later.
Like the Windows 10 version, the new macOS version includes support for extensions based on Progressive Web Apps standards. This will allow such applications to run alongside regular ones, and they will also appear in the Dock and Spotlight.
