14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft teased the macOS version of Microsoft Edge browser at the Build developer conference a few hours ago, but the company hasn’t said a single word about the date when it could release it for download.
And while the software giant decided to stick with its already signature “coming soon” ETA, it looks like the download link for the Canary version of Microsoft Edge for Mac is already live.
As discovered by Twitter user WalkingCat, who has an excellent track on Microsoft scoops, users can now download Microsoft Edge for Mac Canary version 76.0151.0 straight from Microsoft’s servers.
The firm hasn’t officially released this version, so it’s safe to assume that it doesn’t offer support either, meaning that should you come across any bugs, you’re on your own trying to fix them.
Currently in the Canary channel
At the same time, it’s important to keep in mind that Canary builds are very prone to bugs. In other words, while you can install this leaked version of Microsoft Edge for macOS and run it just fine, you shouldn’t configure it as your daily driver, as it can break down things the moment you expect the least.
As for the feature lineup, the macOS version seems to be on par with the Canary sibling on Windows 10. Judging from reports coming from users who already installed this browser, Edge for macOS runs pretty smoothly, with no major issue discovered till now.
By moving from EdgeHTML to Chromium, Microsoft can make Edge browser available cross-platform, and after releasing the preview builds on Windows 10, the company now wants to ship similar downloads for macOS and for earlier editions of Windows. Windows 7 and 8.1 will also be able to run Edge since it lands as a Win32 installer, albeit no ETA is available in this case as well.
