I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn’t ever considered. Including one which means I’ll have to install Edge, so… thanks, I guess. 😂

    As a browser it’s fine, but Microsoft asking me to use it every 0.001 seconds really turns me off it.

      I was all over Edge when it was in beta. Since release though it’s just become bloated with Microsoft’s shit. Not to mention in Windows Microsoft has a fucking hard-on for making it the default browser. Even if you don’t, Outlook defaults to using it regardless.

      It only asks you to use it on windows or MS platforms. I hope you can see the issue now. I don’t use arch btw.

        I wouldn’t know, since MS’s incessant badgering has made me 0% likely to ever install it on any of my linux machines.
