Is Microsoft Edge Apple Silicon or Not?

[DC41]

Silicon Info reports that Microsoft Edge is M1 enabled, and isapplesiliconready.com says that it has been since version 88 (currently running 90). But check out my screenshot. It shows Edge as Intel. Have I downloaded the wrong version and have been running Rosette this whole time, or did some over-worked programmer just forget to update the datafield?

If someone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You have to download the M1 version from the Microsoft website, that one would be the universal binary version.

Those fields aren't data fields that need to be manually updated. The "Kind" field is dynamically determined based on the executable file itself

Yep! Just visited the MS download site and made sure this time to choose Apple Silicon. Now it shows up as Universal.

Thanks!

Peculiar that they have a split download, one for Intel and one for "Apple chips", when the Apple chips one is a universal binary anyway. I verified that at least the installer pkg is indeed universal

Google Chrome and VLC I know are a couple apps that also have this weird split version system.

But is one of the split versions also actually a universal binary anyway for those
