Microsoft has embraced Linux more and more in recent years, to the point of making it easier to run a Linux terminal in Windows 10. Microsoft now has a new "gift" to the Linux community: a version of the Edge browser for Linux.
By next month, Microsoft will make the Edge available and on Linux as a developer preview version (developer preview builds). Users will be able to download it directly from the Edge Insider website or from the Linux package manager.
Given the current popularity of Chromium, the Edge should, for the most part, work exactly the same on Linux as on other platforms.
Microsoft's new browser can run extensions of Chrome you're already used to.
I do not know if the new Edge will "catch" the popularity of Chrome at some point, and I have not tried it.
Some sounds improved characteristics such as highly improved memory management.
My question is for Linux users:
Why should I use him browser of Microsoft knowing it will add a telemetry channel to the Linux distribution I'm using?
Recall that Microsoft seems to value Linux more and more, while years ago it had declared open war on open source. So, that exists an entire page in Wikipedia.
Let's not miss it better. That was missing now to put "ruffians" in our linux.
