How to use Microsoft Edge in mac?

Microsoft announced a new web browser in Windows 10 named Edge.

While there is no download option for Mac OS X (like Internet Explorer 5+), how can I use it and test my websites with it?

I know about Virtualbox, Wine and finally Bootcamp but isn't there an easier and more official way?


Solution 1:

Now that Edge is based on Chromium, the Beta and Dev Channels have builds of Microsoft Edge for Mac OS. The installer can be downloaded from Microsoft Edge Insider Channels.

Solution 2:

There is no version of Microsoft Edge that runs natively on Mac OS X.

However, we do have some options in the works to help Mac users test their sites in MS Edge.

  1. We provide pre-configured Windows 10 VMs that are ready to run and test Microsoft Edge. They are available at: http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/mac/. You can read the announcement here.
  2. We have a cloud streaming version (previously "RemoteIE") that we are going to upgrade to Microsoft Edge. This will take us a bit longer due to Azure changes needed but will be available at http://remote.modern.ie.
