Why can’t you use BrowserStack or a similar solution to do your MacOS testing? Because this is the same situation MacOS web developers encounter when testing Ed

  ...except that Microsoft makes freely available Windows 10 virtual machine images for testing. [1] Apple expects you to buy a device (several if you need to test multiple iOS and iPadOS versions) or pay a third-party, BriwserStack, which is laggy and an additional cost.

  You probably don't need to test Edge on Windows if you are already testing Chrome since it's the same engine. If you really want to you can test Edge on MacOS¹ or you can use the Windows virtual machines² that Microsoft provides for free. 1. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge 2. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/v...

    No need to use a VM; just download and run: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download

  Edge is chromium. You can test it just fine from a Mac.

    It depends, if you need to support old Edge (Spartan) you'll need to use one of the freely available virtual machines from Microsoft instead of just installing the browser. Not a huge pain either, but given that there's still people out there that need to test on ie11 I wouldn't be surprised if Edge has befallen the same faith.

      Old Edge is essentially gone, since it autoupdated to New Edge. New Edge has Linux and Mac builds.
