updated its Edge browser with native support for

Microsoft didn't specify what kind of performance improvements users can expect from the M1-optimized version of its browser, but if it's anything like
Firefox's supercharged Apple silicon update, loyal Edge users should have something to celebrate.
Earlier this week, Apple shared a list of popular apps
optimized for M1 Macs that are available in the
Mac App Store, such as Pixelmator Pro, Adobe Lightroom, Affinity Designer, Darkroom, Fantastical, OmniFocus, BBEdit, Instapaper, and Twitter. Apple boasted that apps optimized for the ‌M1‌ chip deliver "game-changing speed and capabilities."
Last month, Apple released its first Macs with the ‌M1‌ chip, including a new 13-inch MacBook Pro,
MacBook Air, and
Mac mini.<div class="linkback">Tags:
