Microsoft released Edge 145 in the Beta Channel, and with it, announced the end of support for the browser on a certain operating system.
Following the release of Microsoft Edge 145 in the Stable Channel, Microsoft pushed version 146 to Edge Insiders in the Beta Channel. Right now, you can test version 146.0.3856.13 before its public rollout next month. With its changelog, Microsoft announced an important message about Microsoft Edge support, particularly for Mac users.
Starting with Edge version 150, Microsoft will pull the plug on macOS 12 Monterey. It will be the final major update on the operating system from 2021, and going forward, Mac users who want to continue receiving feature and security updates should update to a newer macOS release, as Edge 151 and newer will only work on macOS 13 Ventura and newer:
Microsoft Edge supported Operating Systems for macOS. Edge version 150 is currently planned to be the last release that supports macOS 12 (Monterey). Under this plan, Edge version 151 or later would require macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
For reference, Microsoft ended Edge support on macOS 11 Big Sur in version 138. As for Windows, although Windows 10 is no longer supported, Microsoft has no plans to discontinue Edge support for now.
The official Microsoft Edge release schedule currently has no specific date for version 150, but given that the browser receives feature updates every four weeks in the Stable Channel, you can expect version 150 to arrive for all users somewhere in June or July.
As for changes and new features in Edge 146, which is now available for all to try in the Beta Channel, it includes a reworked new tab page for enterprise users, improvements to tracking prevention in InPrivate, and more. Additionally, Microsoft changed how the “Delete all data” works by removing the browser’s ability to delete passwords alongside history, cookies, and more. Microsoft says this behavior was confusing to users and caused a lot of unintentionally deleted passwords.
You can find the complete changelog in the official documentation. If you are curious to give Microsoft Edge Beta a try, head to the official Edge Insider website.
