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. Now Microsoft has a new "gift" to the Linux community: a version of proletterof browsing Edge for Linux.
By next month, Microsoft will make the Edge available and on Linux as a developer preview build. Users will be able to download it directly from 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 may run Chrome extensions that you are 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 improved features are heard such as highly improved management μνήμηs.
My question is for Linux users:
Why would I use Microsoft's browser knowing that it will add one channel telemetry on the linux distro I'm using?
Recall that Microsoft seems to value Linux more and more, while years ago it declared open war on open code. So much so that there is an entire page in Wikipedia.
Let's not miss it better. That was missing now to put "ruffians" in our linux.
