Microsoft’s Edge web browser could be en route to the macOS.
At the start of its Build developer conference on Monday, Microsoft offered a fleeting glimpse at the macOS version of Edge, a browser once exclusive to Windows 10.
A Microsoft representative stated that the first Dev- and Canary-channel builds are coming “soon,” albeit no specific launch dates were available.
Microsoft has begun migrating its Edge web browser over to Chromium, an open-source platform best known for providing the underlying framework for Google Chrome. This, in turn, should make Edge easier for third-party developers to code for.
Some potential features in Edge for Mac include a new privacy dashboard with per-site customization, and Collections, which will let people gather related content for later sharing, browsing, or publishing to apps like Word and Excel. Neither feature has been set in stone for macOS or even Windows.
Edge already has a presence on the iOS platform.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
