Microsoft Edge now available for macOS

Elliot Kirk 

Right now, I’m pretty impressed with Edge for macOS. It is stable, responsive, and heading in the right direction. Edge didn’t last long on my iPad, but this implementation might move me and my school from Chrome.

From my limited testing, Edge seems to use less RAM, but perhaps more CPU cycles. (It isn’t an entirely fair comparison, Edge 76 vs Chrome 74, but still…)

Even though you will continue to “expand dark mode next week,” your implementation is already better than some browsers, namely Google Chrome.

I wonder if web pages will be able to override dark mode when your implementation is finished. For example, the Google Doc where I’m writing this still has white contextual menus.

Question 01: Is the grammar tool accessible via the macOS version of Microsoft Edge Canary? Reading this article, I cannot seem to make it work. Honestly, that is (will be) a compelling reason to use Edge in the education market.

Question 02: What are the hardware and software requirements for MS Edge for macOS?

Question 03: Google is killing off some (if not most or all) of the ad-blocking features in Chrome. Is Microsoft Edge going to go the same route?
