Microsoft just announced that Edge for Linux is availableς για λήψη στο κανάλι Dev, επιτρέποντας στους χρήστες της πλατφόρμας να δοκιμάσουν το πρόγραμμα περιήγησης που βασίζεται στο Chromium.
“With this release, Microsoft Edge is now available for all major desktop and mobile platforms. We are very excited to offer web developers the same consistent and powerful web platform and developer tools as on macOS or Windows, ώστε να μπορείτε να δημιουργήσετε και να δοκιμάσετε στο προτιμώμενο περιβάλλον σας και να είστε σίγουροι για την εμπειρία που θα έχουν οι πελάτες σας σε άλλες συσκευές. Για τους ερευνητές ασφαλείας, τώρα δεχόμαστε και υποβολές για το Πρόγραμμα Microsoft Edge Bounty on Linux,” says Microsoft.
The first preview versions of Microsoft Edge for Linux can be installed on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSuSE distributions. Microsoft says Dev versions for Linux will be updated according to the company's standard calendar, which means new releases will be released every week.
Microsoft updates the Canary channel daily, while Dev receives updates on a weekly basis. Beta and fixed versions are updated every six weeks.
“There are two ways to get started with Microsoft Edge on Linux. The simplest approach is to download and install one packet .deb or .rpm directly from the Microsoft Edge Insider website. This will set up your system to receive future automatic updates. If you prefer, you can also install Microsoft Edge from the Linux Software Repository using the standard package management tools in your distribution, ”says Microsoft.
With the Linux version, Microsoft Edge is now available on all major operating systems and can be installed on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, macOS and Linux.
