The man page still says that the browser is made by Google, and the changelog file doesn't include the proper credits for the devs, claiming as their email address. It supports the Light and Dark themes, comes with Collections and extension support, that is not bad. While it is a Dev build, it opens the ' unknown' channel page at the first start that renders the Beta channel page text. The Web Capture, a relatively new feature, is already here. The browser, similar to Chrome and Chromium, doesn't use the OS' window manager, and draws its own window frame, and looks alien by default.Īs you could expect, there is no settings sync here, no Microsoft Account support, no Read Aloud, and maybe some other features are missing.
There's no 32-bit package for Linux users. Microsoft encourages developers to transmit their feedback and feature requests via the Send Feedback tool.The package requires a 64-bit version of the Linux distro. The initial Linux preview release is a Dev Channel preview and will receive weekly updates as it occurs with other platforms.
Key Edge features like web collections, immersive reader, optional dark mode, or enhanced privacy protection are however available in the Linux release. Sync (and its related services), read aloud, and differential updates will not be available immediately with Edge on Linux. While we are working to ensure that every feature in our Windows and Mac Dev channels is available in our Linux version, there are a few features that will not be available at launch. Missy Quarry, community manager at Microsoft, explained in a Microsoft forum: The initial preview release however does not completely replicate the features available for non-Linux platforms. $ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb stable main" > /etc/apt//microsoft-edge-dev.list' $ sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 microsoft.gpg /etc/apt// Developers may install Edge from the Microsoft Edge Insider site (download and installation) or the Microsoft’s Linux Software Repository (command-line installation).ĭevelopers may for instance install Edge for Linux on Ubuntu with the following commands: $ curl | gpg -dearmor > microsoft.gpg The move participates to Microsoft’s positioning of Edge as the browser for business.Įdge for Linux currently supports Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE distributions.
Enterprise developers, many of which use Linux, will thus be able to build and test web applications in their preferred platform. The new release makes the Chromium-based Edge browser available on all major operating systems, desktop and mobile. Microsoft recently announced the availability of the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel for Linux (initial preview release).
