With new products expected to hit the shelves in the coming months (notable new models of MacBook Pro anticipated to feature a powerful new M1X SoC), and available stock thanks to Apple's primary chip supplier TSMC prioritizing Apple orders, It's a good time to be a Mac user. As Apple continues its move away from Intel chips and towards its own custom silicon, we expect to see users being less reliant on Rosetta 2.

Thankfully, numerous updates and features have launched over the last few months since the release of the M1 SoC that mean a lot of applications that required emulation can now run natively. Introducing the first Microsoft Edge preview builds for macOS. Tracking prevention, AdBlock, and InPrivate browsing are available to help you stay safer online. Browse the web anywhere with one seamless experience from your phone to your computer and other signed-in devices. Given how frequently web browsers are used, any decline in performance is highly noticeable and can be a frustrating experience if you're dependant on emulation to complete necessary tasks. Microsoft Edge is the fast and secure browser that helps you protect your data, and save time and money.

While it has its uses, emulation almost always results in a drop-off in performance because precious computing resources are needed for the translation. While historically Mac owners have had use tools like Apple Rosetta to run applications that are not optimized, the continued development for native support for the new M1 architecture has been welcome.
