Edge on macOS is a very good browser. Unlike Chrome, it has real privacy features for blocking tracking scripts right out of the box. The Collections feature is also well done.

    chrome has enterprise managed mode just the same, with even more capabilities (i.e. spying features to keep your post wording) than the microsoft ones. MS enterprise mode can only control settings and extensions, google goes several steps further.

I guess my question then is whether he uses macOS (note: it's OS 11 now!) as a daily driver or if he's just transplanting familiar software from his Windows habits in order to test drive the M1?

  It's still apparently macOS. But, yes, they did bump the major version number.)

    The "OS X" branding was dropped in 2016. The current update was from "macOS 10.15" to "macOS 11".

the chrome based edge is pretty decent... I'm still mostly using Chrome out of habbit, but there are a few things to like about the Chrome based Edge over Chrome.

Edge had an ARM-compatible version before Chrome did, which may explain it. The Chrome build for Apple Silicon just came out the other day.

Edge has the collections feature, that I cannot live without. Great tool for research.

This guy is a tech reporter? But he doesn't know how to take a screenshot. Says a lot.

  To be fair, the shortcut on Windows is a lot easier to remember.

    Spotlight search "screenshot" is how I "remember". You get a little widget that offers all the options.
