Microsoft Edge now available for macOS
This morning we published the first builds of our Microsoft Edge browser built for macOS. You can read our full blog post about it here. Then download it, if you are running a Mac, and then come back here and tell us what you think.

It is, also, going to (future tense) support Linux.
Cheers,
Drew- Question to anyone that can answer- are there detailed release notes for each daily build? I'd be interested to see what changes from day-to-day.

That would only apply to Canary. And would be nice, but, no there is not.
There is sort of one following the wkly updates to Dev.
Cheers,
Drew
I can't install extensions from Edge Store, but I can use extensions from Chrome Web Store. Please fix it. It seems that Edge Store is only available for Windows 10, not for macOS.
In today's 76.0.168.0, syncing is still broken but differently so.
If I sign out and back in, it works temporarily- until I close the browser. But once I re-open it, syncing is broken again.
callofthevoid i have the same issue works ok until i close it then have to sign out and back in for it to work
I talked with the Sync team on Friday afternoon, and they told me that there is an issue with the authentication which is needed for sync to work. We believe that we have the right fix for this and it should make it into the Canary channel early next week.
Elliot Kirk -- Very Important feature missing on Edge with MacOS... the microphone does not work when using the Google Search web page even when Google has been given microphone access. Test at other pages show the mic is accepting audio into the browser but it refuses to take the audio on Google's page. This needs to be fixed. Pushing the mic icon on the Google web page will not take audio input.
Elliot Kirk-- I'm unable to install and test on MacOS 10.12. On https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019102233#h_7d78ee50-8e13-466a-9267-9318469385d2, it says Edge Insider builds are "available on macOS 10.10 Yosemite or higher", but after I downloaded the Canary 76.0.167.0 installer package, it says "Microsoft Edge Canary Update 76.0.167.0 can't be installed on this disk. OS X version 10.12 or later is required" (see attached screenshot).
I'm hopeful this is just an installer config snafu and can be easily corrected.
Elliot Kirk Same issue as people above me. Unable to sync anything using my Microsoft account. I am on Version 76.0.167.0 (Official build) Canary (64-bit)
Similar to above poster, I am unable to sync at all in Edge for MacOS, using latest build Version 76.0.167.0 (Official build) Canary (64-bit)
I can sign out, remove accounts, re-add them, etc, and after telling it to sync it just goes back to "Not Syncing" status, mine doesn't even work for a short time, just doesn't work at all.
Have tried two different Outlook accounts, same exact issue. Was working fine until yesterday's build.
Love the look, but have an issue that everytime I open Edge it says it's not syncing and I have to log out and back in and it'll work for a while but the stops again
Elliot Kirk Not sure if this happened to anybody else, but I had to disable the defender browser protection as it kept flagging most sites I went to, including al MS site's, as "This website has been reported as unsafe". Other than that so far so good.
Edit: One note, I have the defender browser protection extension used with google chrome on the mac, and it doesn't flag the same sites unsafe.
