<p>The first build of the new Microsoft Edge is only available through the Canary channel, which means it will be updated on a daily basis. Dev channel releases that are updated weekly are expected to launch soon, according to Microsoft.</p>
<p>In a blog post, Microsoft said that MacOS users should have the same browsing experience present on Windows but with some additional tweaks to make the new chromium-based Edge more Mac friendly. This will include fonts, keyboard shortcuts, support for the MacBook Pro Touch Bar and many more.</p>
<p>There are also some features that won&#8217;t be available on MacOS, like the IE mode. The company also said that PlayReady content decryption is only supported on Windows 10 and thus 4K Netflix streaming won&#8217;t be available on MacOS.</p>
<p>The new Microsoft Edge preview builds for MacOS are available through the Windows Insiders subscriptions. In order to install Edge, a MacOS 10.12 or newer version is required.</p>
<p>If you would like to download and test the new Edge for MacOS, you can download it <a href="https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/?platform=macos">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>It is interesting that Microsoft has released the MacOS version prior to releasing it for Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems.</p>
