Running a Windows VM like this has some benefits over using the Remote Desktop approach to running Internet Explorer, including offline access, but perhaps the most obvious downside is that you’ll be using more system resources and the virtual machine takes up about 11GB of disk space. You can quit and shut down the virtual machine at any time which requires a normal boot, or create a saved state if you wish to return to the exact place you left off in the VM. The complete Microsoft Edge Developer Tools set is available as expected, which is perhaps why many Mac users will be accessing this VM to begin with. The Mac is now running a complete version of Microsoft Edge atop a Windows virtual machine, it’s fully featured so open up the Edge browser if you haven’t done so already and access the web as usual.
System requirements are light and this is widely compatible, but for better performance you’ll want a newer Mac with a lot of RAM.
How to Run Microsoft Edge in Mac OS X in a Virtual Machine for Free If you’ve had an IE VM before, you’ll find this is very similar, but with differing Windows and browser versions. Eventually Microsoft Edge will be available through Azure similar to how OS X users can run Internet Explorer 11 on the Mac through Microsoft Remote Desktop, but for now the VM approach is how we’ll be running the Edge browser on a Mac. So, to summarize, Microsoft signs Edge but Edge is not complete and subject to change, so we don't officially support it - but are hoping to once it's done.though a lot depends on how Microsoft ends up doing things with regard to certification of extensions for Edge, which is still up in the air (or, at least, not publicly documented).This walkthrough will focus on using a virtual machine to run and test Microsoft Edge in OS X, which at the moment is the only way to run Edge on a Mac without using Boot Camp or a complete Windows 10 installation. Everything else that comes after is functionally different, though the goal is the same.
The only thing that's the same between the two platforms in this regard is nothing to do with the platform itself, but rather the fact that the organization doing the signing at the beginning (the browser vendor) is generally using a single known certificate everywhere. However, Windows and macOS are completely different in 1) how apps are actually structured in the first place, 2) how codesigning works, and 3) how verification can be done. Organizations building their own browsers from Chromium (Google is technically one as well) sign it when distributing it so their users can confirm its source and that it has not been modified what what they actually shipped.ġPassword uses this code signature as a way to also programatically do the same: verify that the browser is from a known, original source (not unknown and/or tampered with). Others use the Chromium source as a base for their own browsers, such as Brave, Vivaldi,, and more recently Edge. Chromium is an open source project, and isn't intended for broad distribution like Chrome, so Google does not sign it.
