![]() ![]() Microsoft stopped developing Internet Explorer for the Mac in 2003 when Apple released the Safari browser. There was even a 5-year period (1997 through 2003) when it was the default browser for the Mac. But for me, since i started using it in the early days, i have been quite happy having moved from a Chrome/Firefox combo almost entirely to Orion.If you’ve been using Macs for a while, you may remember when Microsoft was offering Internet Explorer for the Mac. ![]() So you can try it and it might be a bit buggy. ![]() But this means it will get a lot of native OS functions in the future such as a “translation” mode and what not. So the biggest downside is no windows version (YET). it has a reader mode, focus mode, low power mode, and gives you tons of site settings.In fact, in the section on extensions its a top option right there for instillation. It’s adblocker is about as good as ublock origin. it performs as well as chrome if not better on browser bench.They store no data on you as thats not the business model. uses iCloud Keychain for password management if you like.synchronization is real time (for windows and tab groups).It was something that kept me on chrome for a long time. excellent sync features that run though iCloud that also work on iOS and iPadOS.It’s light like safari (good battery life).If i were to make a wager, if you just want WebKit but dont like safari, i would make the argument that Kagi’s Orion is a good option. But, using Edge over the past week or so, have changed my mind.ĭo you use the Edge browser? How do you use it? What do you like about it? I always thought that Microsoft plays all their products on Apple platforms as an afterthought, except Outlook. If there are two things that Microsoft on Apple platforms is great at, one of them is Outlook, the other is Edge. Once you go through the settings on Edge, you will realise it has much more efficient ways of customising your browser compared to Chrome, out of the box. However, Edge is not as opinionated as Chrome is. More importantly, it has the same engine as Chrome, and works with Chrome extensions too. Sure, it's not like Safari when it comes to battery usage, but it's definitely not like Chrome, yet, it has everything that Chrome does, and more. I think Microsoft Edge on macOS does not get the credit it deserves, and this post aims to give some :) It doesn't suck up on your battery like Chrome does. ![]()
