We wouldn’t be surprised if Mac users were anxious to try out the MacOS version of Edge as soon as possible. A few of the drawbacks we noticed with the early Windows version of the browser include the lack of a webpage annotation feature, and that there didn’t seem to be a way to set aside tabs or preview them by hovering. In March, Digital Trends was able to perform a hands-on review of an early release of the Windows version of the new Microsoft Edge, and even back then we considered it “a big improvement” based on the browser’s fresh interface, better access to more extensions, and better performance overall.

The Verge also mentioned that there are a few features not currently available in the MacOS version of Edge that will be included later for “both the Windows and MacOS builds.” These features include privacy controls and a new text and image collection feature.Īnd as we mentioned last month, the new Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge may also come with support for 4K Netflix streaming. Edge’s support for Touch Bar is supposed to include features like media controls and the ability to switch tabs, 9to5Mac reports. The MacOS version of the new Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge is expected to include Touch Bar support and tabs with rounded corners.
