Since Rosetta uses dynamic binary translation, apps using it basically run in emulation. Rosetta emulation saves the dayīefore today, both Edge and VLC (along with all of the other non-optimized macOS apps) would resort to using Apple’s Rosetta feature to run Intel code on M1 Macs.
Doing so will download the subsequent 3.0.12.1 update that in turn will enable native M1 support on your Apple silicon Mac. You can also update your existing copy of VLC to the M1 version by selecting the menu option labeled with the text “Check for Update”. Support for Apple Silicon (Mac M1) and Big Sur, improvements for DASH, RIST, Bluray support, fixes for macOS audio, Windows GPU, crashes and security issues.
Because VLC isn’t yet a universal binary, you must manually choose between the Intel and M1 versions of the app on the official download page. If you prefer to watch 4K, 8K or 360-degree video with VLC, you’ll enjoy much faster performance and significant power savings. On a related note, the popular cross-platform VLC media player was also updated with M1 support. Now, Microsoft hasn’t said when Edge with M1 support might release publicly, but both Edge and Chrome are based on the Chromium engine so there’s that. Back in November 2020, rival Google implemented Apple silicon support in its Chrome browser ahead of the first M1 Macs. M1 support is currently limited to the Edge betas. Compared with their non-optimized counterparts, apps that have been optimized for the M1 chip benefit from much faster performance and significantly better battery efficiency when launched on an M1 Mac. To get the beta software, you must join Microsoft’s Edge Insider channel, then download the current Canary, Dev or Beta edition to see how it runs on your M1 Mac. And now it’s starting to deliver with the announcement of the first Edge beta with M1 support on Twitter. Microsoft has said that native ARM support is “something we’re actively working on”. Microsoft today announced that customers can download the first beta version of its Edge web browser that now features native Apple silicon support on computers powered by Apple’s M1 chip, including the recently updated Mac mini, MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
