Why doen't Edge use native contexto menus on macOS? This is something not only every other browser does, but indeed would mean a more polished experience for macOS users. The custom context menus Edge is using now have some big drawbacks when compared to native ones:
- The size. Custom Edge menus are huge and more than usually get unexpected placing on a 16inch macbook, it's annoying. Native ones take much less space (about a half).
- The performance. Custom context menus are rendered as part of the main window which is basically awful because take more time to open. Yes, we are talking about miliseconds, but the delay is noticeable compared to Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
- They make users get confused because of not being what to expect. Indeed, every other Microsoft app on macOS is using native context menus, so they are completely unexpected.
