On mac? No.

That's for May 2019. Here's October 2020:

In the last month Edge went from 0.67% to 2.09%.

  May 2019
    Firefox 6.52%
    Edge 0.03%
  
  September 2020
    Firefox 5.89%
    Edge 0.67%
  
  October 2020
    Firefox 5.75%
    Edge 2.09%

Huh, I had no idea Edge was even available on non-Windows platforms!

It's coming for Linux too [0].

Unfortunately, they'll be removing the webRequest API [1] which was the only reason I would have wanted to use it. This will happen probably whenever Google deprecates Manifest v2 and Manifest v3 becomes the only interface for extensions, which will stop uBlock Origin from working.

Other than that, when I tried Edge it didn't work perfectly on every site. But, it will be nice to have another non-Google browser to choose from.

Isn't edge a Google browser?

It is.

Edge is just a reskinned Chrome now.

No, they replaced all the Google services with Microsoft implementations.

Do you have a source? The first example I found is a bit dated (2016), but contradicts that claim: https://zdnet1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2016/06/18/77931904-cb...

This source (2020) also claims that global Firefox use is about 4% while Edge is under 3%, contradicting the claim (even including non-MacOS devices): https://gs.statcounter.com/

Another 2020 source gives 5.5% to Firefox and 0.5% to Edge on MacOS, also contradicting the claim: https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22...

Naturally it increased after it switched to Chromium and became the Windows default.

Apple M1 silicon will mostly or entirely run MacOS, not Windows.

You never know - would you say that 20 years ago that very significant push for Linux will be done by Microsoft?

This conversation is around whether Apple Silicon is ready. In that context, Edge is far behind Firefox.

On the Mac? Sounds unlikely

Yeah, I hate to throw anecdata around, but I didn't even know it existed for the Mac. Is Edge 'built in' to some other product, so it scores points on a technicality?

Many corporations are pushing Edge over Chrome, on both windows and Mac, for their employees.

Great comment, thanks. It particularly makes sense for a Windows shop that still officially supports Macs. Hadn't even crossed my mind.

Edge? As a Mac user for many years, I can't recall any time I might have even considered using Edge for anything. I guess they ported it to Mac not too long ago, but who cares?

Same, but in Windows. (Well, Linux is my daily driver, but when I boot into Windows, Firefox is still there).

I do use Edge one time when I first load a Windows machine. To download Firefox or Chrome...
