Edge has built in support for vertical tabs, tab groups, and chrome extensions.

IMHO, Edge is the best chromium based browser out there, and for me is miles better than Chrome itself.

I find it funny that for every person that complains about Microsoft 's bad practices there is 0 bitching about Google shoving Chrome your throat constantly when on Edge

Hi Microsoft!

Please show your love for linux by doing the same with Microsoft Office!

Edge used to so good but recently it has turn into Microsoft adware and spyware software. I thought it was suppose to replace Chrome but it is becoming another Chrome or more evil.

I just imagine how defective should be your IT to ask your employees to use Edge as a default browser.

And worse than that, not be ashamed and have your company publicly named in doing so...

But I perfectly imagine the company with a "bullshit job" CIO that went to a "Microsoft" "cocktail and gift" even, and that is now thinking that he is a technological expert.

Oh boy! It seems that hell has frozen over. I thought it’s simply not possible that any Linux system will run Internet Explorer… ehm, sorry, Edge without exploding.

Never thought I will live to see such a day

Vertical tabs on edge and sleeping tabs have ruined my tab discipline and that's a compliment. I keep so many more tabs open than before and they don't get in my way. Collections are also an actually useful feature for recording browsing "sessions".

Just 2 things bother me a bit:

1. With vertical tabs on, quite a few sites switch to mobile layout for some reason. This is really annoying and makes me turn vtabs off sometimes. Is there a way to stop sites from doing this? My screen should be 16:9 so I don't understand how adding the little side bar should trigger the switch

2. Please give us a native tab search! Vscode has ctrl-p, windows terminal has ctrl-p, even GitHub now has ctrl-k. Inbuilt tab search will feed my habit of keeping 50 tabs open. I currently use vimium which works okayish but the main caveat is it doesn't work in pdf viewers, and half my tabs are pdfs

Microsoft efforts to keep IE relevant were... respectable but ineffective: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+browser+you...

With Office 365 in the browser, and now Internet Explorer-only apps now available on Linux, I wonder what remains to prevent most companies/administrations to use a Linux distribution as their main OS.

GA? Edge for Linux (version 97) still can't sign in to a corporate Office 365 account for sync. Personal accounts only.

I'm bewildered, as this functionality works on Mac and Windows, but somehow not on Linux. This is the one feature I actually need to start using Edge as my primary browser for work tasks. Until sync works with Azure AD, I'll have to continue using a separate instance of Chrome Beta/Dev that's tied to my corporate Google account.

Congratulations to Microsoft for finally shipping a fully-fledged Web Browser! It's been a long time since they made one that wasn't hamstrung to a single OS.

Not that I'll use it for anything other than installing Firefox. I figure MS has about another 2 decades before I'll recommend any products, still a lot of debt to pay off since the IE6 debacle.

Is this even open source? I don't see many package maintainers wanting to have a closed-source browser. I am using Chromium for now because it is included in the default repos. Will there be an open source "Chromium" for Edge, or is that what Chromium is already?

Never using that spyware again. Network monitor showed that the „helper“ program sent and received data pretty much all the time, even when Edge was closed. Also, on program startup, Edge sent quite a lot of data home to MS. Edge might be fast but if you value your privacy you should use a different browser.

Edge is only free if you don't value avoiding targeted ads. Personally I don't care if my "data" is out there, but I don't know what I'd do if I did (Vivaldi? Brave? Firefox? Something more obscure? Are there any paid browsers yet?)

I love that their marketing is, large companies use Edge to support legacy apps. That does sound like a good use for Edge. Another good use is downloading the browser you want to use.

Can I use it to actually watch 4k Netflix content like on Windows? FWIW, I have a modern Intel CPU, IIRC that's required too for their DRM..

Unfortunately no mention of Playready DRM support.
