So don’t expect any rampant battery draining issues with Edge. But Chromium has improved its efficiency over the years on the Mac. So if you have trouble accessing a site in Safari, you can almost guarantee that it would load up just fine in Edge.īut what about battery life? Just like any native macOS application, Safari excels in that department. In my experience, Microsoft’s browser performs almost on par with Safari.įurthermore, Microsoft Edge technically has better compatibility with websites, once again, due to Chromium engine integration. But Microsoft Edge doesn’t lag behind with its new Chromium engine. After all, Apple knows its hardware and software the best. It’s almost impossible to beat Safari on the Mac in terms of performance. The fact that you have to use the confusing menu bars whenever you want to configure the browser seems rather dated. But its tiny tab strip and address bar aren’t exactly geared toward great user experience. On the other hand, Safari feels smooth and polished to near perfection. However, those issues aren’t that serious to put a dent in your browsing experience. Animations and transitions feel jarring, and I’ve often experienced input lag while navigating the user interface. However, Microsoft Edge does feel rather clunky and rough. At the same time, the Edge menu gives instant access to browser settings, extensions, progressive web apps, and other features. The nifty profile icon also allows you to manage, create, and use multiple profiles conveniently.
The browser features a slightly larger-than-average address bar, which makes performing Omnibox searches a breeze.
You do get a rather annoying news feed, but it’s something that you can quickly turn off. The default tabs provide a search bar that you can comfortably type into and quick links to sites that you frequently visit. Microsoft Edge doesn’t attempt to do anything special compared to Chromium alternatives such as Opera or Vivaldi. Here’s my take on how Microsoft Edge fares against Safari on Mac. I’ve used Microsoft Edge alongside Safari ever since its arrival on the Mac.
