Microsoft Edge Browser to Get Apple Account Sign-In Support

microsoft edge heroMicrosoft is testing support for signing into its Edge browser using your Apple Account, avoiding the need to create a Microsoft account. Two new flags related to the support were spotted by MacMagazine in the latest Edge Canary build, with the feature also rolling out to Edge Beta users.

One of the flags enables Apple Account sign-in for Edge profiles, while the other adds an Apple sign-in button to the profile menu (where a Google Account sign-in option already exists). In its release notes for Edge Beta 152, Microsoft already lists Apple Account sign-in support for Windows and macOS, but describes it as a "controlled rollout," so there may be some delay before all beta users see it.

Apple has temporarily removed Keynote, Pages, and Numbers from the App Store, just after releasing an update that added iPhone Duo support and a new Intelligent Assistant. It is not clear if the apps were removed intentionally, or if it is a bug. Apple has not said when the apps will be reinstated, but if it was in error, they should return soon. Update: The Mac versions are back without...

Apple Music Has a Hidden iPod You Can Play With

Apple Music has a 404 page easter egg on the web: a functional iPod that appears when you load a page that does not exist, such as music.apple.com/macrumors. "Page Not Found," says Apple. "Give this a spin instead." Apple is clever with this. If you navigate to music.apple.com/ipod instead, the page says "Looking for something?" instead of "Page Not Found." The easter egg is only...

Crackgate? iPhone Duo Owners Report Screens Breaking Along the Hinge

Friday October 23, 2026 11:05 am PDT by
Some iPhone Duos are already experiencing hinge issues that cause display cracks, based on photos shared on Reddit and the MacRumors forums. Almost all of the display faults are right along the hinge, and most result in a line of bright pixels across one side of the screen. An iPhone Duo owner in Australia said his device cracked after being opened fewer than 20 times, and there was no...

Who uses this browser? Especially on Mac?
I do. Love it. I was using Safari on Mac and Firefox everywhere else for years but Edge won me over with two things:

1. Vertical Tabs (good, smooth, beautiful vertical tabs... Firefox has gone through a few iterations of vertical tabs, and I've tried them a few times, but they keep being so much more clunky.)
2. Seems to work way better with Corporate SSO systems. I get prompted to do LDAP SSO way less often in Edge than in other browsers... I think I get prompted less than once a week in Edge vs other browsers prompt me multiple times a day. I think it's because I can log Edge itself into my corporate account vs other browsers don't have that kind of integration.

I'm sad that it's not FOSS, and I hope Firefox/Mozilla can survive without me.

Someday I hope Servo can be ready for use as a regular browser.

Edge, really? No one uses Edge except the people who still refer to it as Internet Explorer. These are the same people who will answer the question "What type of computer do you have? with "A gray one". 🤣

This kind of jank is why Microsoft lost the browser-using public long ago. A completely avoidable self-own driven 100% by hubris. Reminds me somewhat of the idiots who pushed CurrentC ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Customer_Exchange') for such a long time.

Who uses this browser at all?!?
Even at work on Windows machines, nobody uses it.
At work if your company uses M365/OneDrive/Sharepoint, Defender, Azure etc, then Edge is hands down the very best choice. The same can be said for Chrome if your company uses Google Workspace for all of those things.

There are reasons that Chrome is the number one browser in use on Mac's.
