Summary

LambdaTest has introduced the ability to test websites on the new Edge 79 browser using macOS, as well as added support for the latest macOS Catalina, enhancing both manual and automated cross-browser testing capabilities. Edge 79, Microsoft's first stable Chromium-based browser, aims to rejuvenate Microsoft's presence in the browser market by adopting Chromium and V8 engines, similar to Google Chrome. The introduction of Edge 79 is expected to reduce cross-browser compatibility issues, particularly with Chrome, although some differences like the "theme-color Meta Tag" have been noted. Meanwhile, macOS Catalina, despite its performance improvements, presents challenges for website testers using Selenium due to compatibility issues with Safari 13. LambdaTest offers tools to perform real-time and automated testing on both Edge 79 and macOS Catalina, allowing testers to ensure their websites render correctly across these new platforms. The updates are part of LambdaTest's ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive testing solutions across a variety of browsers and operating systems.
