Microsoft Launches First Edge Preview Builds For Mac Users (macrumors.com) 31
Microsoft today announced the launch of a preview or canary build of its Microsoft Edge browser designed for the macOS operating system. Microsoft Edge for macOS can be installed from the Microsoft Edge Insider site on compatible Macs. MacRumors reports: Microsoft says that the initial build available today includes several interface changes to meld the Microsoft design language with the design language of macOS: "Examples of this include a number of tweaks to match macOS conventions for fonts, menus, keyboard shortcuts, title casing, and other areas. You will continue to see the look and feel of the browser evolve in future releases as we continue to experiment, iterate and listen to customer feedback. We encourage you to share your feedback with us using the 'Send feedback' smiley."
Exclusive user experiences for macOS are also coming in the future, such as "useful and contextual actions" for the Touch Bar on Touch Bar-compatible Macs. Trackpad gestures will also be supported. To use the new macOS version of Microsoft Edge, a Mac running macOS 10.12 or later is required.

Let's be honest, it can't be worse than Safari (posted from Safari).
Microsoft: Challenge accepted.
Another craptastic fail (Score:2)
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I see this as being another craptastic fail, based on their past offerings.
But who knows, maybe they'll get it sorted this time. Statistically speaking, it has to happen sooner or later, right?
