The Microsoft Edge Chromium browser ready for macOS

Download Edge Chromium for macOS

After a couple of months, a little more, waiting since the beta of this browser was published, we can already affirm that we can download a finished version of Microsoft Edge Chromium.

It is based on open source and also on Google's own browser. It is now available for macOS, having been redesigned by Microsoft. I do not know if this is good or bad, but the fact is that it is already with us and we can now download it to test it. Total, nothing happens to try.

Edge Chromium redesigned by Microsoft

Edge Chromium has been rebuilt by Microsoft under the Google Chrome engine. Therefore, we are facing an open source browser that is supposed to make it easier for developers to produce extensions for the new browser.

The appearance and way of working is quite similar to what the Google browser already does, but in This new version of Edge Chromium includes a new tracking prevention default which is active by default and from the beginning.

There are some mechanisms to comply with the aforementioned. These are: the Smart Screen and Trackin Prevention. They aim to protect the user from the most common problems when browsing the Internet: Phising, Malware and malicious software in general.

This browser it also has a private browsing mode That causes the user's browsing data to not be collected by the servers. But if you want true privacy, you may have to use DuckDuckGo.

In this release of the new Edge Chromium browser the synchronization of history and extensions are not available. They will be available later this year.

One of the best features of Chrome, which is precisely that synchronization and is the one that still does not work, it can make many macOS users not even consider your download. It also doesn't help that Netflix 4K Ultra HD support with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, only available for Windows 10.
