    I gotta say I love that Microsoft has the self confidence to think that there are people who use edge on Linux.

      There are. It was surprising to me but apparently there is a decent number of people who use edge on Linux.

        Yea.

        It’s reskinned chromium. You can google it if you want. One of the top links is a .deb for me (I am running debian).

          That’s … just what Edge is? On every OS it’s Chromium, they’re not shy about that fact. In fact they made a big deal of advertising that they were switching from whatever engine they were trying to half-bake when “new” Edge debuted.

            Edge is built on Chromium for every OS. When they developed it they said they were using Chromium. This is not special for Linux.

      I do. It’s more secure than any other alternative. Not private, but really, really secure.

        How is Edge secure in any way? It isn’t even open source & and both Google (Chromium) and Microsoft add their code to it, so even if Chromium were more secure than Firefox, you could just normal Chromium, couldn’t you?

          Not being open source ≠ not safe.

          Microsoft ships hardened Chromium basically, with sandboxing turned up to eleven.

          They also run their SmartScreen filtering on top of that.

          Also, Firefox is more private, not secure. Either you run LibreFox or it’s less secure than Edge by default.
