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” in the Linux community: a version of the program tours 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 Chromium's existing popularity, Edge should, for the most part, work exactly the same on Linux as it does on other platforms.
Το νέο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης της Microsoft μπορεί να τρέχει επεκτάσεις του Chrome which 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.
There are some enhanced features like highly improved memory management.
My question is for Linux users:
Why use the Microsoft browser knowing that it will add a telemetry channel to my Linux distribution?
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.
